WATCH | Michael Amiott Day 4 trial : Euclid Police Officer on trial in the excessive force case

[@JD-vh1qd]

I know the cops deal with life threatening incidents every day but this cop needs to be taken off the streets yesterday . The fact that he admits cops call each other and say “That car looks fun” to indicate they are giving the heads up to another officer is pure profiling .

[@shakey2634]

Convict him, jail him and decertify him as an officer permanently. I am sick and tired of seeing video after video of cops engaging in “ground and pound” and claiming someone was fighting them when what they were actually doing is just covering up, a natural human reaction. This cop drove this whole event and seemed to enjoy it, hell, he’s enjoying talking about it.

[@florence1395]

I agree that the knee strikes weren’t necessary though obviously I wasn’t there. I do think in this case it was overwhelming to see him treat this man so harsh.

[@jamie.777]

The cop 👮‍♂️ is a sadistic pig 🐖

[@linkjones4535]

He has two other incidents that got attention by local media investigating them. Both victims were black. Daniel Feritto who announced on police radio that Hubbard's car would be fun is being investigated for illegal activity. He had excessive force and profiling complaints. Unfortunately this is business as usual with the Blue Line Gang.

[@bobswanson8464]

The "Expert" say the person in the car was to close to the officer when he got out of the car, and it was "Unsafe" for the officer. WHAT, the officer was standing right next to the door...it was IMPOSSIBLE for the person NOT to stand close to the officer. Please...the officer was brutal to the man, he gave the man no room to get out of the car, gave him 1 second to obey his command to turn around...then pushed/pull him to the ground.

[@ricladouceur6202]

There's not a problem with the technique but when you issue instructions like turn around as you move in then how does a person turn around without moving their feet or turning their shoulder into the officer. The passenger didn't move toward the officer. He complied by stepping out. The officer moved to him as he stepped out. If you're concerned about reactionary gap why would you employ this technique. Based on this guys testimony an officer could use subjective evidence to attack someone without any objective evidence that there's a threat. I just wonder how many times he's found against the officer.

[@toasted_.coconut]

Exactly my thought.

[@davefejeran5501]

He intended to do just that, sadly though because he has a badge on he is allowed to lie on reports. Remember, HE INTENDED TO DO THIS ( to have fun with this car/driver.

[@gregbedford9706]

This case shows that police everywhere are trained to kick your ass no matter what.

[@michaelwalker3920]

Finally a judge that runs a sterile courtroom. Doesn’t put up with lawyer crap.

[@eliseintheattic9697]

Except he's also the judge that gave him a slight tap on the wrist sentence.

[@Smartmovesstayingahead]

What this police officer did are the actions of a tyrant he does need to be held accountable and convicted this is exactly the kind of police officers and the kind of sheriffs we don't need as they abuse their power

[@Butterfly-jt6cr]

Notice how the audio is turned off when defense shows the video from the incident. It's obvious the officers are wrong! Guilty!

[@Beaheadoeverybody]

Exactly I agree this police need's to be held accountable now and convicted they need to stop abusing their power this is never ok this is plain brutality what he did he does need to face all the consequences now justice need's to be done now and this abuse of power need's to stop for that we need to end qualifed immunity right now

[@earlenedearing9621]

Racism corruption is at its hike Kevin owners and badge 67 threaten my life on the request of neilsegal law after they committed bank fraud stole all my money obstruction of justice BUT FOR SURE WONT GET AWAY WITH THEY ARE CORRUPT RACIST COWARDS AND A FAT ASS Law suit a d jail for these you know what

[@brycecrousore1985]

Terrible prosecutor. Works for the same government police work for ... gave this "expert" a wink and a nod and asked zero hard questions.

[@My2CentsYall]

a handful of Euclid police depart are responsible for 80% of the use of force complaints kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJTOoYaQiMenhLM Pay attention to this trial and you will see one of the officers on the stand testifying Daniel Farito testifies at this hearing. Officer Farito that has several use of force reports against him as well as a pending civil case and he is testifying at another officers hearing AND is not questioned by the state prosecutor.

[@tracieschneider6982]

I like this judge! He puts up with no BS or games in his court!!

[@marmite.]

The cops lawyer is so rude and disrespectful to the judge.

[@johnjones1722]

things dont look 2 good for this guy

[@wandayoung6992]

It doesn't matter whether you have dash cams, body cams, individual videos, you can comply to you are blue in the face; you are never gonna come out on top. Not only are you the reason for the escalation of the situation, there's also evidence of other illegal substances on top of your non-compliance and resisting arrest.

[@corinthchavez3444]

Someone should tell the defense lawyer *who was absent when they taught about dress code) not to dress like a real estate agent and dress appropriate for court. Also, she needs to lose the nose ring OMG REALLY????

[@ttpryce672]

These experts have no shame. They are the problem with police... because they justify this brutal beating that was done in the name of "FUN" Bad policing cost money and bring shame to that department

[@ricladouceur6202]

You're bang on. A officer can look at the video an create a narrative to support what they've done and get a mouthpiece like this to support it. Based on what I saw the officer had no justification for any of this.

[@eyeswideopen2530]

I 100% agree this whole police force from the top to the bottom are as dirty and despicable as heck. I feel sorry for all innocent citizens in this town!

[@lvinson5171]

IS THIS WHAT WE THE PEOPLE GET FOR PROTECTION FROM WHO ? THEM OR THE BAD GUYS . WHICH IS WHICH ?

[@1noeret]

l wonder if at any stage of his trial did Michael Amiott think,l f$#%ed up.

[@georgejackson7798]

Of course he knew he did, but 5hours after the Jury returned a guilty verdict on 2 out of 3 , it became real

[@rickeyharris2200]

I hope the officer gets what he deserves he's a bad cop I wouldn't want to run into him on a traffic stop I'm a small person he might hurt me really bad please give him time in jail to the fullest

[@betting4life948]

Unfortunately he ran into a violent thug

[@eyeswideopen8348]

I saw excessive force being used on a citizen on the video cam

[@Butterfly-jt6cr]

Since when is it appropriate for lawyers to wear leggings with a jacket in court 🙆🤦

[@eyeswideopen2530]

She’s got a cute little nose ring too🙃

[@larrylittlefield7357]

step out of the car so the fun can start

[@denben8530]

He wasnt even under arrest The officer never told him i want you to step out of because you are under arrest. and he had every right to ask the Officer why he was being pulled over. Especially if it was a female driver they can ask because there are cases where women have been assulted by police officers

[@brantcunningham4333]

He grabbed the cop . LMAO 😂 sure something like that..

[@davidmccoley6522]

An expert states a patrol car camera is not sufficient and does not show whole picture or what the officer sees. So ask the expert why departments refuse to have officer cameras and ask him the benefits. But no he won't.

[@sahdna]

IT'S SAD TO SEE EVERYONE OF THESE SO CALLED PROS CALL PEOPLE "SUBJECT, SUSPACT, CRIMINAL" JUST TO DEHUMANISE THE INDIVIDUALS AS OPPOSED TO PERSON OR INDIVIDUAL OR MAN. THE SAME PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES, OFFICERS, EXPERTS, MR. MS, AND SO ON, ALL RESPECTABLE TITLE.

[@jaybethatdude]

Racist cops stay on code, they're defending this cops actions even though the video shows he was wrong. I wish someone would have asked each one of them, "if the driver was their son, and those were all black cops and everything went down the exact same way, would they honestly say those cops were justified in their actions" i doubt anyone of them would be ok with their son being beaten like that.

[@betting4life948]

NO MORE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY PERIOD IF WE DONT GET THEY DONT EITHER .

[@everettwatson5074]

Don’t forget about whole departments severe abuse of the civil asset forfeiture law, some departments have officers that do nothing but stop motorists to look for cash. Then all they have too say is that they believe the money was or will be used in a crime. It’s extremely difficult and very expensive too try and get your money back.

[@marmite.]

🐂💩 as long as a person is not making threats towards a cop it's not an arrestable offence nor a part of resistance.its a persons 1st amendment..

[@eyeswideopen2530]

Great questions from the jury!!!!!

[@earlenedearing9621]

Send him to prison he won't .pounce on those black inmates I bet you that he is a COWARD YEAL BIG MAN

[@jeromepeats2480]

No matter the defense. The cop is guilty. Closed case.

[@glenncarducci8703]

30 years is appropriate

[@ascher40]

To see these aggressive Cops brought down a few rungs, and sitting all alone in the 'defendants seat', away from his other tattoo labeled and uniformed gang members, shows a sad pathetic individual that has most likely got away with many other crimes in the past!! The bravado displayed in the street while in uniform, and whilst beating up an innocent citizen is no longer displayed, and looks almost childlike, for he is now in a courtroom, knowing that he has eventually been caught up with! RIP George Floyd

[@denben8530]

of course they all will lie for this officer.

[@giodonni7127]

Paid off. This dude got paid good money for this bs testimony. I guess hes hoping to get lucky with the defense attorney.

[@stevewayne3676]

This guy would agree with anything that sounds good fir the one paying him 😉

[@watchingtyranny8294]

Old school policing is not trustworthy any longer. People see for their own eyes now with these videos. Sad for all of us

[@smh5471]

How much time did this clown get? Did the kid sue???

[@thejadedleo__cami522]

That retired officer is delusional. He's justifying why that tyrant used abused that man and wrongfully arrested the passenger. The camera doesn't lie. All he said was how the camera doesn't see everything. It sees enough and hears enough to show that the officer was the Actual Criminal and should have been immediately charged Just shows the disconnect between the police department and the community. I have so much more respect for Federal Law Enforcement. They move totally different than police and sheriff departments because they don't run around acting like they have something to prove. I know for a fact "They" wouldn't be caught dead moving so reckless. Smh

[@normanlewis7803]

O.K. This is a first for me. Is this a common accourence for junior to submit question to witnesses.

[@headwrinkle9896]

The problem with "objective officers" is that they can use their paranoia to make anything fit their narrative

[@csea4672]

I can see both sides…I get the instincts to defend yourself when you feel like you’re being targeted and now taken down by strikes, but I also get the cop has a job to do and needs your cooperation. I did feel like he was grabbing Richard’s arm/elbow so he could handcuff him but I think it may have draw him into his shoulder leading him to believe he did it on purpose. Being a cop is dangerous and I understand that…if he has a problem with excessive force, he will have a history of it and that’s what I’d like to know. I know that if my bf was being beat up for NO reason, I wouldn’t yell at him repeatedly to stop..I would tell the officers to gtfu off of him bc he’s complying. Idk 🤷‍♀️ that def is sus..I do think the officer should’ve given him another chance like asking him to put his hands behind his back before shoving him into the car.

[@georgejackson7798]

@C Sea, didn't you get it that the female didn't speak much English, she said the same things over and over for the duration of the assault. She probably should have spoken in her native tongue, as to what she was witnessing

[@csea4672]

@@georgejackson7798 no it had nothing to do with her “not knowing much English” she sounded like she could articulate herself just fine. She was saying babe stop meaning stop resisting. Notice how she didn’t say anything to him when the officer punched him on the back of the head, suddenly she was cussing the officers out. I get he was scared bc he didn’t have a license but not complying made it much worse. He def was targeted but that’s why you should have all your stuff cleared and following the rules so you don’t give them any reason to mess with you and I speak from experience…when I didn’t have my things up to date, I was scared on the rd and the cops always messed with me once they pulled up my tags.. I’m not saying the officer wasn’t aggressive, but the kid wasn’t really complying either. He def was twisting his hips to avoid being flat on the ground in order to get handcuffed, but I feel the cop should’ve called in his info instead of just asking if he had a warrant several times and asking him to step out.

[@calimoney23money38]

Lady you couldn't have been a bigger bigot the whole world can see this is excessive force and unwarranted . If you hate african Americans then say that but don't defend what's clear as day. And your bogus attempt to blame the gf 😂

[@linkjones4535]

The training expert comes off as arrogant and full of himself. He proved to be an expert liar with his delusional interpretation of the video. Daniel Feritto, the officer who said that Hubbard's car was fun has received awards. Feritto believes that driving while black a criminal indicator and trains new officers. The contempt for the public in law enforcement is appalling and much worse if you're a minority.

[@straightup.7415]

Jail time tyrant

That won't happen. The system is part of an overall plan to cause conflict between us and them and to eventually change over to a one world government body to oversee everyone. No more constitutional rights. Officer's are order followers, and won't abide by what they know is right or wrong where the people are concerned.
