Cops raided their house over noise complaint, but didn't know we would get the body cam | PAR

The Bermudez family of Childress, TX were spending the day enjoying music together at home when the sudden appearance of local police turned their day, and their lives, upside-down. Responding to a noise complaint, Childress police swiftly escalated the situation into a warrantless raid of the Bermudez household that ended with the arrest of the entire family. Texas cop watcher Manuel Mata joins Police Accountability Report for a breakdown on what occurred, the state of the Bermudez family after this harrowing experience, and how this all fits in with the behavior of police across the state.

This is absurd abuse of power. Warrantless arrests on private property. Each officer involved should not receive qualified immunity and should pay financially and should lose their policing authorities.

[@eshootziscrs2868]

If what you say is correct, is this not a criminal act of armed intruders entering an occupied dwelling to kidnap innocent people using violence and force, while acting under color of law. So if you did this to a family what would happen to you? Why should the law apply differently to others. Civil suits require one individual party to take on the full resources of the state, overcome qualified immunity and try to get awarded a judgement that will be uncollectible from the officer and will be paid by the taxpayers. Why not let us pay for the criminal prosecution like we always do in every single criminal case. And actually prosecute the officers as the criminals they are. A conviction makes qualified immunity pretty much non-existent, making a civil suit much easier. In fact a settlement will be offered almost every time. The officers ability to be an officer, vanishes with a felony conviction just as the ability to own a firearm. The cop as an individual likely has very little as far as property or financial resources. By the time a civil suit gets filed and tried, the officer will have spent "everything" on legal expenses. All property will be in the name of others. So while you might get a judgement of $100 or $1 million, good luck collecting. You could spend years going back to court trying to get orders to collect. A criminal prosecution puts the resources of the state on the side of the victim not the officer. Make the system work for the people don't ask the people to work for the system.

They would have to prove that the cop knows the law regarding pursuit but willfully ignored it. If the family sues and wins, then in the future, we could assume that this particular cop now knows this court ruling but unless they can prove that he was taught this in his training, or had been sued for this in the past, they won't prosecute.

The states of course can't prosecute people under 18-242, but if they fail to charge someone with it and the federal government thinks that there is probable cause, they can, but what stops them in most cases is the "Willful" standard required. The other three components are pretty easily satisfied in most cases but the "Willful" component is far harder to satisfy. The have to have evidence that the defendant must have had a "specific intent" to deprive the victim of a particular federal right. . If you are not famaliar with the "Willful" component of the statute, I would recommend that you do some research. The time that this is almost always possible is when a cop uses force because he gets angry, and not because it was prescribed by policy and often, they only use it if the victim sustained permanent or serious injuries, or particularly egregios behavior. A great example of this is the six Mississippi cops that essentially kidnapped and tortured 2 black males. This was clearly willful on their part and they were charged under 18-242 and have since plead guilty. Here is a great example where the Willful component is easily satisfied. No reasonable person would believe that this was some freak occurrence and that they knew the knew that what they were doing was illegal but did it anyway. It is not always easy to satisfy that component, but it is used many times a year in the US.

In TX (and everywhere else I've researched), "Disorderly Conduct" must take place in a "public place". And in the TX law, it specifically says the cops must give notice to the person in that public place of a noise complaint. These a-hole tyrants are wrong on two counts. I hope this family bankrupts the city of Childress suing them.

[@FC-qe1wl]

Actually, if what one is doing is causing distress to another on their property it is a criminal offence.

[@corsairsofnarshaddaa]

@@FC-qe1wlMaybe under a different statute. Not according to the "Disorderly Conduct" statute the cop accused these guys of violating and used as an excuse to conduct an illegal entry into a private residence and assault a new mom and endanger a newborn and tase a non-violent, non-threatening citizen.

[@phat-n-sweatyslowasseddie9350]

​@FC-qe1wl how is that relevant to this case? Occupants were clearly the only people not ok and endangered, when the police tresspassed. Take a working kid trying to start his life and put him into jail. You think he will be a better father? Legal system desroys another home should be the title to this video.

A cop cannot be the plaintiff in a "disorderly conduct" charge, they need someone from the public to claim it.

[@willsrestorations]

All these cops had to do was ask the people to please lower their music and continue on their day, but these ego maniacs were there to show who's the boss. Extremely sickening and disturbing to watch.

It's difficult to follow, but the cops came by and told them to turn it off. They turned it down and all was good. Even though they had the right to play their music loud at that time. Then their buddy came back from the store and turned it back up without knowing about the warning, that wasn't valid. Cops came back and basically wanted to fuck them all up because they didn't do what they were told.

This cop with a taser is not shaking, he is vibrating evil out of him, makes me feel so uneasy, he seems unhinged and so dull af.

[@DasGigPig]

This makes me sick. These police are an utter disgrace, how can they use a taser on someone when they aren't a threat, he was unarmed and the police had no right to be in the house anyway. Imagine being in your home and having a policeman enter and tase you you, push a woman to the ground and threaten to separate them from the child. If the police aren't punished for this then something is seriously wrong with the justice system in texas.

[@nic.h]

It's an illegal use of force. With a deadly weapon, well less deadly, but it still counts as a deadly weapon. Yet we see them brandished and used for compliance like here very regularly. There is a strong argument that if one of the occupants had responded with deadly force that those actions would be legal. Force that is reasonable and necessary to stop the imminent threat of serious bodily harm or death from the use of illegal force is justified.

You are so very right! Choosing your battles when you are in authority is the key. Unfortunately they felt that they could push anyone over almost anything. I am sure that these being black kids made the cops react even harsher. I have known some excellent cops. We are all human and we sometimes dont always do our best. But there is a difference in how you start out to do your job. I was once a housing inspector for the city. A small number of my colleagues got assaulted, threatened and shot at. In the 2 years after I left that job, my car broke down twice. Each time I was helped by someone whom I had taken to court- and gotten a fine against.. Each of them said that they appreciated that I had treated him like they were human.

This is wrong period. The officer made the decision to arrest because he took a hit to his ego when they talked back to him (for example: you don't think I know the law). This is a classic case of "his panties were in a bunch." People who side with this behavior are a serious problem.
