Cairns are infamous for being annoying and thinking they're above the law.
But what happens when Cairns pick the wrong battle and try to fight police officers?
He verbally abused me. You verbally abused me as soon as I...
Here are four examples of this happening, starting with the case of Brandy McGowan.
On the 30th of March, 2022, police were called on Brandy after she was seen threatening people with a brick in a Florida Walmart.
At some point, she decided the brick wasn't good enough and stole a pocket knife to wield instead.
When an officer arrived, he found Brandy holding the knife.
The cop was armed with his service weapon, but Brandy refused to drop hers.
Drop the knife now.
Drop it.
Drop the knife.
Drop the knife.
Drop it now.
Brandy seemed blissfully unaware that the officer is pointing a gun directly at her,
and has a taser in broad view on his utility belts.
In these circumstances, he is well within his rights to use it, to subdue, and disarm her if he feels as though she's a danger to him and the civilians around him.
Clearly, she doesn't understand that, as she stands her ground and continues to threaten people with her weapon.
Put it down.
Drop it.
Drop the knife.
Put it down.
Put the knife down.
Put the knife down.
At this point, backup arrives on the scene and takes the attention off the first cop for a moment,
giving him the opportunity to holster his weapon and switch to the taser.
In this situation, it's obviously much more preferable for the cop to use non-lethal force,
but it's dangerous to lower his weapon while in a one-on-one standoff.
The arrival of the other officers gives the perfect relief for him to switch to and deploy the taser.
Drop the knife now.
Dropped the knife.
You're all kidnapping me.
You got it?
You got it?
The taser does a perfect job of disarming Brandy and allowing the cops to put her in cuffs and detain her.
After the Walmart interaction, she was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, where it was
She discovered she was somewhat predictably high on meth and had apparently ingested over 4 grams of the stuff before entering the store to cause her chaos.
Back at the police station, it was also discovered that Brandy had a lengthy criminal record, with charges including burglary, kidnapping, and battery.
For this incident, she was hit with another charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
If this doesn't convince you not to take drugs, nothing will.
But this next case is a perfect example of how alcohol can have very similar effects, at least on Karen's.
This officer was called to a bar on the night of August 11th,
where there was an intoxicated woman allegedly attacking multiple people and causing a serious disturbance.
The woman was quickly identified as Christina Cabot, the wife of the previous mayor of the town,
and someone who has clearly overstayed her welcome at the bar.
Okay, I'm on camera.
A bitch is crazy.
No.
She's sweet.
She's literally bit in here.
She's welcome to me.
Why are you in here?
I said, oh, it's cool part.
I said, I'm like you, you're black.
I said, you know what I mean?
She's been about all right.
Oh, but just being down.
Yeah.
No.
No.
You know.
You all.
Yep.
Just, yeah, maybe take her
and take it to the next city over.
Other people...
Other patrons of this bar detail, and it's clear she has been made herself popular.
This is also the second time today that police have been called to remove her from a bar.
She's been intoxicated nearly the entire day, so the police decide it's time to have a chat with her and get her back to the station.
Who's this guy?
Who's the dad?
Do you know what happened to me?
If I be honest.
What happened to you?
Yeah.
You know what happened to me.
I'm Tim Ferriss.
Okay.
I don't know what happened to.
Where have you been?
Like just now or like my whole life?
No, I was talking to other people.
No, you just got until La Crosse this year?
No.
We had dinner together.
I was ready for turbo like six years ago.
And you're going to pretend like you don't know what happened to me?
I don't know what happened to you.
This town is going to shut town and I.
going to shut him and I down everywhere we go because what happened to me because the police
department said that I did something wrong all the white fucking motherfuckers are saying that I did something
wrong. Even though the police department dropped all the charges even though the police department
continued to investigate me when they had no rights. So what does they have to do at tonight's
action? Nothing. I don't even know how much or something. You should go ask them. So they've already
pull me. They said that you are pushing people and touching people and trying to push people
off their schools and having disorderly.
Christina lets the cops know that she believes the city of lacrosse, where they are, is out
to get her and her husband. Evidently, the police have investigated her in the past and dropped
the case, but obviously there's something bigger at play here, or at least that's what she's
trying to insinuate. In reality, Christina is extremely intoxicated and looking for any reason to
blame someone else for the ruckus she's been causing and a way to get out of this situation.
The police are told to him. The police are told that Christina was politely asked to leave the bar
multiple times to which she violently refused, becoming both verbally. The police are told that Christina was politely asked to leave the bar
multiple times, to which she violently refused, becoming both verbally and physically abusive,
starting fights with anyone she could get her hands on. At one point, she even sat down in the
middle of the bar and began kicking and screaming like a child. It was at this point the police
recalled the scene.
She needs to go. I don't care where she goes. I don't care where the fuck she goes, but she needs to go.
No, we're not going to go inside, ma'am.
I am for you. You know my name.
You're not going there.
Oh, you're just going to accept that?
We're going to be able to treat me like this as long as I'm in here.
Treat you like what?
Yes?
How are we treating?
If you're here, I did nothing wrong because they called the reason.
Because they're white.
What was the other call?
Same thing.
I just like to put in a good word for,
I just like to put in a good word for, oh, that lady right there.
She's an okay lady.
She's okay.
Yeah, she's an okay lady.
Okay, I appreciate that.
Yeah.
I just want to put it in a little bit more.
But, whoa, yeah.
What the fuck was that?
I do this shit.
Why do you push me on the shit?
You did see that right.
This guy came over to put in a good word for her after talking with Christina in the background,
and then she immediately walked over to pay him directly in front of the cops.
Actually, I don't feel safe in the city anymore.
Not a hand.
What's more is?
If something happens to me tonight.
It's my job, bro.
That's what I...
You know that.
Yeah.
That's for the guy.
You're good.
You saw that, right?
I do this, yeah.
Thank you.
Ma'am, is it okay if we talk over here for a second?
I do this shit for real for me.
You come over here and talk to me.
And my name is Christina, and you know me.
I'm just...
Don't call you ma'am.
Why?
Thank you.
Does I ask you not to?
Is it okay if we talk over here, Christine?
No, I don't know what you want to talk to me about.
Okay.
I'm pretty sure.
So, unfortunately, you do have to go to jail the night, okay?
Do you think I deserve to be arrested right now?
I don't know, what am I being charged with?
I'm interested for disorderly conduct.
Due to what, girl, I don't know where to jail.
Due to everything that's gone on so far, the cops decide to put her in cuffs,
and take her to jail for the night.
Frankly, it's impressive that even while restrained,
she still managed to make enemies.
On the way back to the car,
she refused to cooperate
and made her legs weak
forcing the cops to drag her.
And even that wasn't the most annoying thing
she did on this walk.
I need to put that wallet in my purse.
I'm going to carry it all the way over there.
Okay, just like this.
No, I want you to put it in my purse.
Well, let's go and then we'll make it out, okay?
Thank you.
I'm not going in.
There we go.
You just need to walk?
Yeah.
It's fine problems.
Is there a reason why you're in this we're seeing?
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
I'm going to go.
Oh, I'm not going to walk.
Please walk.
Please walk.
What do is me?
No.
Please walk.
No, why?
Can we walk over here, please?
This is not.
Please.
I'm going to walk out.
You're going to carry you.
You're going to go.
Christy, can you please sit in there?
No.
We're trying to be decent.
No, I can't.
You've been here for me.
Tim.
I do know, Tim.
That doesn't have anything to do with your actions.
Yeah, it does.
I didn't do anything.
You look for your life?
No, I can't.
After acting like this all night, you'd think it'd be time for her to drop the act back at the station.
But she thinks differently, choosing to make the entire team's lives as hard as physically possible.
It's a Christy Cabot.
She's not real cooperative.
She wants to sit in this.
She's not resistive.
She just wants to sit in the squad car's way.
horse are in there, so...
She's right here?
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah.
You said Christy, right?
Yeah.
Chrissy.
You said Christy, right?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
You're all right.
Chris, you're all right.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Here, right.
I got the wheelchair behind here.
Where's my heart?
Oh!
Oh, my heart!
Oh, yeah, I want to peevee.
You're got in terms, I'm careful.
You're going to go.
You guys are really hurting me!
What are you doing?
God, I must be so...
...violent violent.
Can I believe?
Can I please, whatever this is, it hurts.
Every go, you can not go, and also this hurts, whatever this is, we'll be talking about.
The cops finally managed to get Christina into a wheelchair so they can properly bring her into the station,
kicking and screaming all the way there.
She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest,
as well as firmly placing herself on the bad side of pretty much every cop and civilian in the entire town.
Christina showed exactly how awkward carins can make situations like this,
but the cop in this next case shows exactly how to handle them.
This Karen had just been detained by police in a Walgreens
after going on an extensive racist rant towards a group of Muslims in the store.
She has her plan to make the officer's lives as awkward as possible,
but this cop is here to shut her down.
Ma'am, no weapons on you or anything like that?
No, here.
No, no, that's okay, stand up for me, please.
No.
I just make sure you have any weapons.
I don't know, I don't know, turn right, I don't want to touch you.
pocket.
Okay.
Underrest for battery.
I didn't do any battery.
No, when you spit on people, that's battery.
No, I did not.
Listen, he verbally abused me.
Well, that doesn't give you the right to spit on them.
Guess what?
You verbally abused me as soon as I got out of that spit on you?
No.
You're definitely doing that.
Yeah, they're handcuffs.
Can I take my purse?
Absolutely.
Oh, please, don't.
No, you're definitely going to jail.
Let's go.
Walk.
Can I leave my car here?
That's absolutely.
fine, sure.
Yeah, this is unbelievable.
Yeah, unbelievable.
10-50.
Officer, this is unbelievable.
Let's go.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Well, I'll get a good attorney.
God bless you.
Yep.
God bless me.
Because I'm a Christian.
Christians don't talk like you.
This cop managed to get her in coughs and out the door in record time.
But he still has to get her into the patrol vehicle and back to jail, and this Karen isn't going
down easy.
Confirm for me.
Please don't do this.
I didn't do anything.
How about you just stand there and stop talking?
How about we do that?
How about we do that?
That doesn't give you an excuse to act the way that you're acting.
Not, just stop talking.
You have to leave.
We'll take care.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
All right?
This officer saw me last night.
I've been having a lot happening to my life.
Really?
That's going to happen?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
sorry. But you don't matter. Can you apologize to? I apologize. I'm not a racist. I have friends that are Muslim. Okay? I have friends that are Muslim. Oh, that hurts. You're hurting my hands.
Well, they're handcuffs. They're not for comfort. Well, I've never had hands up. So that's a no. Okay. So those same Muslims that you were talking shit to just decided your fate and they elected to not prosecute. God bless you. Yeah, God bless them. Because if it was up to me, you'd be going to jail.
But they decided as the victim that you are not going to jail.
I suggest you watch your mouth because the particular, shut up, listen, the particular group that you decided to mouth off to were professional or nice.
Some people might kick you in your face and they're going to come pick up the pieces.
So I suggest you watch your mouth.
In an act of extreme kindness, the group of Muslims she spat at and was racist towards decided not to press charges and asked the police to let her go.
But somehow, even that isn't enough to stop this woman from running her mouth.
My father was with the army.
Did anybody get her 14?
Look at, look what you did to my aunt.
You should be going to Jill.
Huh?
Oh.
Can you get me my purse, please?
Hey, you got a 14?
No, I thought he was folding it.
Get your stuff and leave.
What do I do with this?
What do you do with what?
No, that hurts.
That's unfortunate.
Well, I've never had this happen to me before.
Then keep your mouth shut and you won't have it happen again.
Literally keep your mouth shut because you spit on somebody.
Listen, you don't know what he did to me.
You don't have the right to ask me how to talk to you when you're disrespecting people.
He's disrespecting at first.
Literally spitting on people.
Gather your belongings, count your blessings and leave.
Listen, I'm a question.
Yeah, you need to look that up.
And I go to Calvary Chapel.
You need to, that's concerning.
Yeah, very concerning.
Yeah, we'll talk to Pastor Doug.
I will, actually.
I will talk to Pastor Doug and let him know how you feel about different religion.
Come on Sunday.
Okay, you're sure.
Okay.
Yeah, 11 a.m.
Good night.
Good night.
Thank you, officer.
Thank you.
And thank you,
and thank you, officer.
You're respectful, you're respectful.
Stay all, are you.
And thank God for President Trump.
Oh.
I don't know that what that means.
This woman was incredibly fortunate
to be led away with no charges,
especially after everything she said on camera.
But Sean Malarkey wasn't so lucky.
Malarkey was arrested for domestic violence after hitting her ex-husband with her car,
but when the cops moved in to arrest her, things immediately started to go south.
Ma'am, step out.
Excuse me.
Step out.
Stop out.
Excuse me.
Step out.
Step out.
You're under arrest.
No, I am not.
Yes, you are.
No, I am not.
Yes, you are.
Malarkey's behavior is erratic and her tones aggressive from the off.
Her children are in the backseat of the car, but this doesn't seem to affect how she handles the encounter,
and things only get worse.
I will tase you if you don't get out of the car.
You better take your hands off of you right now.
I told you you're under arrest, get out of the car.
Why?
Because you have a warrant.
I just sent a message and I, excuse me.
Get out of the car right now.
No.
Did somebody say that you could come into our house?
Asking the cops who gave them permission to enter the property
is a common tactic in situations like this one.
But for the suspects, the reality is that the police are well within their rights
to enter property uninvited,
so long as they have a warrant.
With a second officer's assistance,
Malarkey is removed from her car and coughed.
However, this is where things get even worse.
You did this.
No, I didn't do it.
Andy asked you to get out of the car.
Excuse me?
Andy has to get out of the car.
No, Andy yanked me.
I yanked you because I told you you're under arrest
and you refused to act in your vehicle.
Are you going to stand up and be cooperative?
Are you going to understand that my attorney
has filed a motion to quash this?
Has filed a motion.
You hit us, you do anything stupid towards us who weren't any charge done.
Excuse me? Let's go.
You've already hit me.
I didn't hit you. I asked you all the car. I told you're under arrest.
Now, you got a whole show for your neighbors here.
Even restrained, Malarkey's attitude does not change at all.
The cop then smells alcohol on her breath, which may explain some of the bizarre behavior.
You are a shi-de-h-hitting human being.
You throw somebody down in front of it.
There's children? What the fuck? It's most of you. Don't. I told you. You piece of shit. You know what? You are the piece of dirt that I wouldn't put it on if you were on fire. I smell an order of alcohol on your breath.
No, that's my. That's your bitch. I'm pissing on you. Okay.
She defies the officer's orders and tries to leave the vehicle, then makes a point to single out the cop who initiated the arrest.
Get your fucking hands off me.
We see situations like this often, where a suspect will target one member of law enforcement and use them as a scapegoat.
This is typically followed by legal threats, so they're likely targeting the officer they feel they could best build the strongest case against.
However, this wouldn't work all too well.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Cool out.
Hey, if you keep resisting.
Get your fucking charge you with that.
You know what?
I'm going to charge you with putting your fucking dirty ass hands on me.
Stop moving, let him take off your watch.
Malarkey then goes on to make violent threats to the officers.
Pay attention to how quickly she tries to change the conversation after her most extreme threat.
You know, no, do you know what he's done?
Stop picking us.
I'm going to kick you right in the fucking piss.
That's mean.
Don't do that.
You are dead.
What's that?
No, no, what did you say before that?
You said I am dead?
What do you mean by that?
She continues, elaborate on it if you mean it.
You, you're getting sued.
She continues making the cop's lives difficult by pretending to have trouble getting out of the car,
though it's clear from her movements that she's not actually trying.
She blames the tape on her ankles and says it's the cop's fault she tried to kick him.
Put your feet off.
No, no, it hurts too much.
You could just take it off.
Okay, no.
No, you're going to kick him.
No, what am I?
I'm a fucking 100 pounds.
You think I'm going to.
Take a 200-pound dude.
You've already kicked at us a lot of times.
Why?
You're not going to win.
Why?
Why?
Because that guy, right there.
The one you tried to buy it?
Okay, Sean, let's go.
Why?
Could you ask yourself a question?
John, put your left.
She was charged with aggravated assault of an officer and aggravated DUI.
This was her third DUI with a child passenger.
Soon after this arrest, she was also charged with endangering the life or health of a child
and violation of a bail bond
and received a misdemeanor charge
for resisting or obstructing an officer.
