Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, what's up guys and welcome to a different type of video today. Today we're going to be getting into some disturbing body cam footage, ranging from disturbing moments of people caught in a crime to police committing crimes themselves. This is one of my favorite videos on my channel, so you'll want to make sure to stick around. And this kind of content is new for the channel, as I've never really made a body cam type of video before. So if you guys enjoyed this one, make sure to like and subscribe for more and comment down below. let me know if you'd like to see more like this in the future. Now, without any further ado, let's get into some disturbing body cam footage.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Edridge, Alexis. The first clip starts off with a pretty unusual 911 call on a regular sunny day in North Miami Beach. Someone calls in, reporting something weird going down Northeast 168th Street in Northeast 2nd Avenue. Officer Samuel Simon, Jetro Nelson, and Bradley Bourbon get the call and drive straight to their destination.
Starting point is 00:01:05 As you can see from the video made by workers from a nearby office, when the officers pull up to the scene, there's a man wearing red from top to bottom, surrounded by policemen with their weapons drawn and being ordered to drop the machete he's holding to his throat. That man is none other than 38-year-old Edridge Alexis. He refuses to drop the weapon even after officers repeatedly command him to. from the office building can do nothing but pray at that point.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Please, please, please, please, please. Say your angels, say you are angels God. According to the police, they resorted to Taze and Alexis after he refused to comply, but he still found his way into the building. That's where he tried breaking into the rooms with brute force, and even tried using his machete to plow the doors down. And that is where he got a hold of a woman in the lobby, held her hostage with the machete,
Starting point is 00:02:01 and ultimately got shot by police. This right here is the body cam footage showing a scene where Alexis can be seen on the ground holding the woman hostage with the machete while officers are trying to negotiate with him and de-escalate the situation. A one-person talk. One person talks. Okay. Okay. Okay. You saw-bez-one.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Put this off the set-out. Sub this one. So this one. So a big one. Hold, some big one. Pop that onion, okay? Put your side, a lot. Mr. Mitz, Mr.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You been going to sound like? Yeah, I'm not going to be able to. After one officer tries negotiating with him in another language, Sergeant Wilson jumps in asking if the suspect wants to go to the hospital and asking how he can help him. He reassures him that he'd be more than happy to talk to him as soon as he can put the way. weapon down. What's up, buddy? I need to be a hospital.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm Sergeant Wilson. How can I help you, buddy? Oh, I'll go to hospital. Sergeant Wilson. How can I help you, buddy? Who are you? I'm going to put his going down. Okay, listen.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Okay, listen. I'm Sergeant Wilson. Okay, what's your name? Edward, John, sir? Okay, Edward. Yes, sir? I would be more than happy to talk to you as soon as you put that down. Please.
Starting point is 00:03:20 No touch. No touch him, please. Okay. I'm putting it away. Okay. No touch him. Okay. Even the woman can be seen trying to calm the situation down, in spite of being visibly horrified in her own right.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Sergeant Wilson keeps trying to problelexes his motives or what he needs from the officers, but with little luck. Edward, I'm John. What is your name? What's your name? Edwin, right? Is that you, ma'am. Huh? Let me see. I don't know if I was on the highway. Okay. If it doesn't matter if you're on the highway, we can take care of this situation.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Okay, so I know what the cost to go. Huh? To do it. Okay. Listen to me. Watch cross fire. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Listen, what do you want from me? I'm in charge. How can I help you and fix this situation? He's so good. What's your name, man? My name is Oksana. The woman can be heard repeatedly asking the officers not to touch Alexis and identifies herself as Yuxana. After yet another back and forth,
Starting point is 00:04:28 Sergeant Baker tries getting in on the negotiation, and it's as one-sided as a conversation could get since Alexis refuses to utter a single word. He keeps asking him to put the machete down and talk to him, while the woman begs him to stop hurting her, and please let her go. Please, no make me hurt, please. Edwin. Edwin. Edwin, love. It's not my blade. It's okay, man.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Listen, it's okay. Put the machete down, Edward. What is the problem here? How can we help you? What can we do to help you, Edward? Alexis then tries banging on the door next to him with his feet, but no one opens. Shortly after, Sergeant Baker's repeated attempts to get Alexis seemed to be, seem to be working as he starts relaxing a bit more,
Starting point is 00:05:19 loosens his grip a bit, and tries getting up. That's when the officers realize they have a clear shot at Alexis. He's a good guy. They can't tell me he had a machete and tried to cut people's throats, said Wilkinson, Alexis, the suspect's brother. Nah, he ain't like that. He said his brother struggled with his mental health, and he doesn't believe what police are saying about the incident. is true.
Starting point is 00:05:58 The last story is not matching. Just be with it, just eat careful by. In so on, March 16th, 20203, Edward Alexis was pronounced dead from his sustained injuries. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office closed the case, saying the shooting was legally justified. Victor Perez. April 5th, 700 Block OFN Harrison Avenue,
Starting point is 00:06:24 Pocatello, Idaho. Around 5.22 p.m., a nearby employee working at a shop made a disturbing 911 call. 911. What's the address of your emergency? Hi, yeah, I worked at a shop. And there is a couple out back behind her shop, furnishing a knife. Looks like they're trying to bathe someone. There's a man and a woman and then another guy in the street who seems like he's antagonizing him.
Starting point is 00:06:52 One guy's got a knife. It looks like he's under the influence, and they're out in their backyard, chasing each other around. Okay. And they're in the backyard of a resident? Yeah, backyard of the resident. I don't know the exact address. I'm not...
Starting point is 00:07:05 Okay. And I got a little bit of it, but this guy, he seems pretty drunk. He's just running at him with a knife and then falling over him, and I think he just stabbed himself on action just now. Okay. Oh, he got hit on the head with a... My dad's saying he got hit on the head with a log. I think he got him and he's laying in the ground on the ground.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah. So the other male hit him in the head with a log? Yeah, he's kind of bad everybody looks like. Okay. Reporting a man who appeared intoxicated, having an altercation with several people in the backyard of residents, looking like he was holding a knife. The caller claimed the guy seemed to be drunk
Starting point is 00:07:41 and even accidentally stabbed himself whilst the call was still in progress. A while later, he says his dad told him the guy just got hit on the head with a log and that a girl keeps pushing him to the ground as the suspect keeps trying to stab everyone. Here's security camera footage that led to the 911 call for the person with the knife,
Starting point is 00:08:00 who was later identified as 17-year-old Victor Perez. In the video, you can see Perez holding a knife, chasing around an older man as the older man tries fighting back, striking Perez back with some weapon from over the fence. We then see a woman run up to them and the escalation between them seems to slow down. But not for long, though.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Soon after, Perez can be seen falling to the ground while the older man steps on Perez in an attempt to separate him from the knife. Moments later, Perez gets back up and swings the knife at the older man, who in return swings a log back at Perez, causing him to fall to the ground, but then quickly getting back up again. Old of them have a go at it from over the fence. The older man swinging the log while Perez swings the knife, with the fence acting as a barrier between them. You can even see the woman trying to break up the fight. Perez then proceeds to chase the woman away and then reverts his attention back towards the older man.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Shortly after, you can see a squad of four cop cars pulling up in the distance. And as they approach the scene, it doesn't take much time before shots are fired. Here is body camp footage from one of the officers. Drop the knife. Drop the knife! Hey, drop the knife! Hey, drop the knife! He dropped the knife!
Starting point is 00:09:45 He's seen police. Pulling up to the scene, he run towards the backyard and sees Perez on the ground holding the knife. He yells at him to drop the knife, but Perez tries to get up and charge at the police. That is where multiple rounds of gunfire are heard, including the officer burying the body camp. Another slow-mo and enhanced version of the footage shows how Perez holding the knife is in close proximity to two women standing close behind him. Footage from another police officer also highlights Perez's attempt to advance towards the police. Multiple officers are also heard yelling, drop the knife, in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. Right before the rounds of ammunition are unleashed on Perez.
Starting point is 00:10:32 After the incident, Perez was provided medical aid until paramedics arrived at the scene. Victor Perez, 17, autistic, nonverbal, and who also had cerebral palsy had been in a coma. since the April 5th shooting. And tests the coming Friday showed that he had no brain activity. His aunt, Anna Vasquez, told the associate depressed. He had undergone several surgeries, with doctors removing nine bullets and amputating his leg. Perez passed away on the 12th of April. Everybody was trying to tell the police to calm down, Vasquez.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Perez's aunt said, those four officers didn't care. They didn't ask what was happening, what the situation was. How was he going to jump the fence when he could barely walk, she said. The shooting outraged Prez's family in the Pocatello residence, and about 200 people attended a vigil Saturday morning outside the Pocatello Hospital where he was treated. Another crowd of protesters gathered outside the Pocatello City Hall building, which also houses the police department on Saturday afternoon. Police snipers were stationed on a nearby rooftop during the protest, though no-pulled violence was reported. Many of the protesters held signs with phrases like, Do Better, PPD, and Justice for Victor, and passing cars honked in acknowledgement,
Starting point is 00:12:06 officers whose names have not been released or placed on administrative leave. Decisions about whether charges should be filed against them will be made after an independent investigation by the Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Team, Bonac County Prosecutor, Ian Johnson, told the AP via E. email. When that investigation is complete, a report will be submitted for review, he said. In a continued effort to ensure independent and objective consideration, said a report will be reviewed by an agency outside of Bonnock County. Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad said in a statement Friday, after the family announced that Perez had no brand activity, said officials, thoughts and prayers
Starting point is 00:12:49 were with them. We recognize the pain and grief this incident has caused in our community, Blad said. Blad said Thursday that the city was addressing this matter with the seriousness and thoroughness it deserves and with the appropriate respect for the gravity of the situation. The criminal, external, and internal investigations regarding the officer involved shooting are underway, which is why we cannot answer questions out of concern for interfering with or compromising the investigation, he said. Perez loved watching professional wrestling, eating fries, and taking walks while holding his mother's hand, Fasquez said. He would always notice when Vasco has painted her nails his favorite color blue.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Or when she wore a new weave showing his admiration by touching her hair, she said. I'm going to miss him when he used to get in his weird moods and I used to put him into bed, she said. He wouldn't want to sleep and would wake up again and I would have to walk him back to the bed. I promised him. Hey, I'll be back tomorrow, but you need to lay down and sleep. San Diego Cop This next one kicks off with what should have been a pretty basic arrest, but
Starting point is 00:13:54 turned into a full-blown, embarrassing scandal. On August 15th, 2020, San Diego police officer Anthony Hare responded to a Bay Park to assist the arrest of several people for suspected auto theft. One of the female suspects wearing a red tank top and red shorts also had a bench warrant out for arrest. Hey, just listen to him.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'll spare everything to you, man. I know you're going to spare everything. There's no acts, right? You're going to come with me to my car. So let's go. Oh, you know, you heard of my head on my head. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:14:53 This way. Walk across the street. No. He said he's going to ask me. Oh, sir, why you only mean one of me? Not me. Bro, you're the only day, right? No, we can talk more once you get into the car, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Okay. Okay. Okay. As well, sit inside. Oh, I'm not. I'll put you in a second. Perfect. Just a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I said I don't want to paint your skin. All right. As seen through the body camp footage, she was placed under arrest by Officer Hare and tossed in the backseat of the patrol car. After arresting her, he was supposed to bring her to the police headquarters and later to the Los Kalinas
Starting point is 00:15:42 detention center in Sancy, California for questioning. But as they approached Lost Kalina's detention Center, Hare and the suspect have a pretty unprofessional conversation, one where Officer Hare has to remind the woman about her having a boyfriend. Why are you asking that? Oh, me? I'm cool to you. What is it going to hurt me if I were just speaking about it?
Starting point is 00:16:28 You know what I mean? That's what I appreciate it. If I were interested, she was like me? Once in a while. Whatever. That's good. It's very loud. I can't hear you. Oh, I can't cause a little wind.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's all good. Yeah, no worries. Yeah, I remember. Of course. The thing has to be... It's not lost or anything. You just have to go pick it up after. I'll tell you after, but I'll tell you after about it.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Shortly thereafter, the woman can be heard being pretty straightforward and tells Officer Hare, she's down to have, uh, relations right now. And his reply is anything but satisfactory as he says. says don't say that right now everything is being recorded a little bit well i can't hear you now don't say that right now i said don't say that right now because everything's being recorded right now he then asked the woman what she was doing in the back seat and that's when the police cruiser slowed down and hair switched off his body camera what's going on Investigators said, Hey, reported he believed the woman was suffering from a medical emergency.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And then I came in like that. I was trying to wake her up. My feet wasn't, my feet didn't get caught like that. And then when I was like, waking her up, that's when I noticed that this door closed on me. I was trying to, you know, get her up because her face was right here. That's when I asked her like, hey, are you having a hard time breathing? I said, no. Do you need medics?
Starting point is 00:19:15 No. I was like, okay, all right. The police cruiser's GPS tracker shows how Officer Hare slowed down and turned into a dark residential street where he eventually came to his stop at around 134 a.m. Only a couple blocks away from Las Kalinas detention center. About 20 minutes after the cruiser stopped, Hare made a call to a fellow officer asking if he had a master key to the patrol cars. He and the woman waited there for over an hour until help arrived. She's code for her. Okay, hold on, hold.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Let me turn my camera. She's code for? She's code for. Okay, okay. Let me turn this off a quick. At 2.37 a.m. when another officer arrived at the scene, letting officer hair out of the vehicle. Both hair and the woman said they did not have any sexual contact while in the back seat. Explain to me, Tony, how is it that you got all the way into the car with her laying down?
Starting point is 00:20:46 It was... It was a thing. I was trying to lift her up to sit her down. So you, you got into the back of the patrol car and then somehow through hitting the door, meaning when you kind of push it to open it, it kind of rebounds and close back on you? Correct. Is that what you're saying? You think of? I have problems with your story, Tony. She did not say anything like, hey, if I do this for you, let me go. She did not, and even if she did say something like that, I would, I would, I would, I would, I believe I just...
Starting point is 00:21:18 If she said something and you said, hey, don't say that right now. Because it's recording. Do you remember that? But the woman told investigators in a later police interview that the officer wanted to get with me when I was done with the warrant or whatever I got arrested for. She also said, Hair asked her to meet him after she was out of jail, but that she never did.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Well, she said something like he said, Oh, are you single? Are you with your boyfriend or your boyfriend or something like that? I don't know. I was just confused. What the hell? How is it after that? I think he might have used his excuse just to come into the back.
Starting point is 00:22:01 He thought that I wasn't breathing right or something. Because I was laying down and he said he came to the back. So he was saying the officer after. So did he make any sexual propositions at that tribe at all? Again, this is the one where you're going to? Yeah, no. Did you make any comments or special propositions to him during that transport? No.
Starting point is 00:22:26 The department did test Harris clothes for semen and found traces on his belt. On September 14th, Officer Hare resigned from the department. Harris said he was not willing to participate in the subject officer interview which was scheduled for the next day. Mother and her two-month-old shot by Independence Police. On November 7, 2023, something heartbreaking went down in Kansas City. Maria Pike, 34, and her two-month-old baby, Destiny Hope were both killed during a police call. The Independence Police Department later dropped a partial body cam video showing what happened right before everything went wrong.
Starting point is 00:23:07 It all started at around 154 p.m. when officers showed up at the Oval Spring Apartments for a domestic disturbance. That's my wife. Okay. Get your ass and I guess they beat her up. Okay. Is that person involved? This is my husband. No, is that person involved?
Starting point is 00:23:28 No, not that person. No. No, I'm not about it. Okay. What's going on? Maria's grandmother had called 911 saying Maria was being violent. She hit me in my forehead. I got a big old bruise right there.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Got knocked out. Her grandmother is seen sitting in the parking lot of the complex, explained the situation to the officers that just arrived. I called my son and asked him if it's okay for me to come up here to see my granddaughter. The footage then cuts off to the officers going up the stairs. and knocking on Maria's apartments. It's fine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Can we talk about what's going on? Uh, I accept. Your turn. What's up? Hi there. What's your name? Can you come out here, please? I got her in the closet.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Are you okay? Are you hurt? Okay, can we put the baby down, come here and talk and figure out what's going on? You're going to give her to the bait? James too. No, we have like communication skills that we have a lot. that we have problems with too, but we communicate.
Starting point is 00:25:34 That's not a good idea. That's a baby. You're bobbing the baby's head around. Please don't be there. Jackson County prosecutor, Melissa Johnson, announced on the 14th of March, 2025 that, after thorough review, criminal charges will not be filed against the Independence Police Officer involved in the November 2024 shooting,
Starting point is 00:26:14 resulting in the deaths of a woman and her infant. We did not arrive at this decision lightly. The loss of a young mother and her infant are devastating and tragic, said Prosecutor Johnson. However, as prosecutors, we are bound by an oath to apply the law and analyze facts without being guided by the sympathy we feel for all those impacted. Our purpose is to determine if what was done was reasonable, defined by Missouri law, and not whether it was the best course of action. We recognize the profound loss suffered by the families and our entire community and frankly wish that circumstances were handled differently. However, that is not the role of this committee or this office. Rather, our review of this incident is ethically and legally limited to determine only whether criminal charges are appropriate, said prosecutor Johnson.
Starting point is 00:27:06 While this decision may not bring the closure many seek, especially given the weight of this tragedy, we are issuing this letter to uphold our commitment to transparency. The family of the shooting victims was not satisfied with the investigation from the start, saying law enforcement wasn't transparent. What the circumstances was. There's a baby in that woman's arms. I am the aunt who makes sure that we get justice. Justice for baby destiny.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Since the shooting, the apartment complex has provided counts. counseling, a visual for Maria and Destiny, and support for both the adults and children in this community. Jeremiah Thompson. On November 19th in the Smoketown neighborhood, officers responded to an anonymous tip about a stolen Kia soul and encountered 19-year-old Jeremiah Thompson. Officer Walsh approached Jeremiah standing outside a house the car was parked in front of and immediately instructed him to take his hands out of his pockets. What's going on, my man? Not much. Take your hands out of your pockets for me. What are you doing in this car?
Starting point is 00:28:32 I can go out. Jeremiah is seen missing a shoe. And he asked Officer Walsh if he can get his shoe from the car. He also swears he wasn't in the car driving and he was just getting his shoe. My friend came in here. Can you take your hands out your pockets for me? I'm sorry, sir. Can you get my shoe though?
Starting point is 00:28:49 My shoe is in the car. But I wasn't in the car driving it. I swear to that. guy, I was just getting my shoes there. Okay, who was? Um, keep running it. Sure. I'm a life. You run that way, sir. I'm not going to like to you. So what, you and your buddies ever just, sir? I'm literally in the car. I promise you. He keeps insisting if he can get a shoe, but Officer Walsh denies his request for the moment. Can I have it? Can I get it? Okay. Can you take me over there? Uh,
Starting point is 00:29:15 let me get your term information first. Where'd your buddies go? I just watched them off that way. That's fine, but just one. This way. You know, about you know, about Get it up in the basket thing over? No, not. It's just a mousous. You see where they went. Do you do my sus up? Yeah, I went here, right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Uh, do you messers up? Inside. He said his suits inside. Inside the car? Yeah. How? You said they went inside here? They're all looking out the front door.
Starting point is 00:29:56 What's your last thing, boss? Thompson. The first thing? Jeremiah here. You must spell it. Four 29. What is domestic violence on three feet? You must spell it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Three. location that was here earlier. Officer Coroner asked him again to take his hands out of his pocket, which he does right before putting them back in again. And then he asked for his shoe again, while both Officer Coroner and Jeremiah wait while Officer Walsh pulls in details on the car and the suspect. You know, man, I'm going to ask me one more time if you can take your hands out of your pockets for him. What's about that? 12-01-0-4. You know your social. I don't.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Okay, sir. Give me just a second, hiring me? Forward 20, David, can you copy a tag? It's gonna be Lincoln, 9 Paul, 878 on a solar KSO. Do you make any for me? Get what? My shoe. Like, my shoe?

I'm gonna keep him worried. Shortly after, Officer Walsh finds the suspect's shoe inside the car and he approaches him from the back to arrest him with Officer Corner. Why would you shoot me at it then? Because I literally just took my shoe off to go grab something from the inside the car.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I'm not going to have to you. What are you going to look for? What you're going to do? Oh. Why are you walking me up, yeah? Why are you walking me up? Why are you walking you up? They get him on the ground, on his stomach, but he keeps resisting the arrest for over two minutes.
Starting point is 00:32:32 He claims there, locking him. him up for no reason. He's going to be in the room. Why are you walking me up? Why are you walking me up, sir? Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:32:49 No, they're locking me up for no reason. That's when one officer mentions he was just going to detain Jeremiah, but now he'll be arresting him for resisting. They're locking me up for no reason. Who said you're getting locked up? Oh, you're just going to be detained. You were just going to be detained. But why?
Starting point is 00:33:07 But now you probably are. For what? For resisting. How am I, bro, you all right? We're trying to detain you. So you didn't ask me, sir. You didn't ask me, sir. Sir, you did not answer me, sir?
Starting point is 00:33:20 Sir, you not ask me, sir? We have family pulling up. Someone get this car. I don't know if they're gonna try to help him or not. Excuse me, Mel. I'm getting just detained for nothing. Are you okay? My man, you were in a, you're in a, you're in a car.
Starting point is 00:33:36 in a stolen car. I wasn't in it. I was not driving this car. On my wife, you're not going to door here. Jay. Jay. So, can you please? We need help with him first, but there is a car that just pulled up and he's talked to him. Jake. Jay. You're up for 21 road lane. But if I get me up for nothing, Ms. Neeson? Keep him in there, please. You're not going over here. Stay over there. What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing? I didn't do nothing. Apparently from Officer Walsh's audio, he mentions a car pulling up
Starting point is 00:34:25 and Jeremiah conversing with the people that pulled up. Soon after, Officer Acharya pulls up to the scene and tries arresting Jeremiah by getting a grip on his hands from under Jeremiah's abdomen. Sir? He just can't get him tough. He's still resistant. Sir.
Starting point is 00:34:39 No, I'm not doing nothing. I'm not doing nothing. Officer Achira tries using his ASP to get access to Jeremy. Jeremiah's hands. While Jeremiah just keeps repeating, I'm not doing nothing. I'm not doing nothing. Then just a second later, bang. I'm doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:35:06 There's a gunshot and Jeremiah starts screaming. The smoke is seen near Jeremiah's hands on the grass as well. Officer Achira is then seen applying a tourniquet to his leg, which apparently has been hit by a bullet. The suspect's gun. He shot it. Stop. I got it. I got it.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I got it. I got it. The suspect's gun is then recovered by Officer Walsh and multiple responding officers are seen aiding the suspect. Can you do it? I need a pet. I got you. I got you. I got you.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Why the fuck would you do though? What do that? I ain't doing nothing. A video from a witness also surfaced with a front on. on view of the moment Officer Achira arrived and the gunshot was fired. According to officers, 19-year-old Jeremiah Thompson admitted to driving the stolen car and then resisted arrest. He fired a handgun in the process, injuring himself and two of the three officers on the scene. Police said Thomas was shot in the torso and arm, treated and then taken into custody.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Thompson has been charged with two counts of assault, wanton endangerment, receiving stolen property, and resisting arrest. Two LMPD officers and the suspect, then 19-year-old Jeremy Thompson, were injured in the shooting on Tuesday, November 19th. An arrest citation accused Thompson of discharging the firearm, but LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey admits it's unclear how the gun went off, saying it remains under investigation. It would be inappropriate for me to speculate how exactly the gun went off, Humphrey said, adding. The suspect's actions resulted in officers being shot, so however you say it, we can play semantics. If the suspect had cooperated, he wouldn't have gotten shot, and the officers wouldn't have gotten shot. Regardless of the semantics of it, he's at fault in this situation. So as you saw in court yesterday, there was probable calls found, and the case is waved up to the grand jury at this point.
Starting point is 00:37:26 that is on the charges related to the suspect. While that might seem like an, you know, an innocuous property crime where somebody's upset that their car was stolen, it turns out to also be a gun crime where people almost lost their lives, including the suspect at his own hands. So we're fortunate and we're grateful that that didn't happen. We don't know that right now. That's part of the investigation of why that gun went off. I can tell you, if that, if that suspect had cooperate it, that wouldn't have happened. So regardless how it happened, it's his fault still. I believe he's only 19 years old, so to carry a handgun, it's illegal anyway. So that's going to have to come out in the investigation. It would be inappropriate for me to speculate how
Starting point is 00:38:10 exactly the gun went off. But as I said previously, had he put his hands behind his back and cooperated with officers, everyone would be okay, and he'd be looking at much, much more minor charges than what he's facing today. The suspect's actions resulted in officers' being shot. So however you say it, we can play semantics. The suspect that's had cooperated, he wouldn't have gotten shot, and the officers wouldn't have gotten shot. So regardless of the semantics of it, he's he's at fault in this situation. Based on the seriousness of the charges, I am going to keep the bond as set at 100,000 plus HIP if posted. Thompson is charged with two counts of assault against a police officer, wants an endangerment of a police officer, receiving stolen
Starting point is 00:38:54 property were valued at $10,000 or more and resisting arrest. Tony Timpa. On August 10, 2016, Anthony Tony Allen Timpa, a 32-year-old unarmed white man, was killed in Dallas, Texas by police officer Dustin Dillard. Officers had responded to a call by Timpa requesting aid for a mental breakdown due to the fact that he had not taken his prescription medication for schizophrenia and depression. His final moments caught by a small body cam would later raise serious questions about how things were handled. The footage starts off with Timba on the ground, handcuffed and erratically moving around,
Starting point is 00:39:32 while officers are seen standing around him, telling him, Tony, chill out, man. While Tony begs them not to hurt him. They reassure him of that, but when he starts moving around more, they pin him to the ground on his stomach. Oh, no, please. Hey, Tony. What's your last name, Tony? Please.
Starting point is 00:39:58 We're not going to hurt you, okay? You need to relax. Okay? What did you take today? Where did you take? Oh, God, I can feel. Hey, what did you do? Help me!
Starting point is 00:40:08 An officer keeps asking him what he took today. Tony mumbles something and then keeps screaming for help. Tony, what did you take today? What did you take? I'll tell you, but you know, let me do it a little bit. Help me! He keeps asking the officers to stop as they applied their weight on his back. While they keep asking,
Starting point is 00:40:27 him to chill and relax instead. No! No! Help me, I'm down. Don't do it right there, sir? I'm down. I'm down. I'm down.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Please don't do it. Please, do it. You're all right. You're okay. You're okay. You're okay. Don't jump back. You got paramedic behind you.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Okay. You want to twist your body off the right. No, that's good. I'm just worried about him. I can't now. Get your head! Go! You're gonna be alright. Tony, relax.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Tony, relax. You don't need to be squirming, man. Stop. Trying to get you help, man. Stop. Okay, stop. I stop. I stop.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Please look at the feet. Look. He finally said. Y'all club and rock boys. Okay. Let me go, please. Hey, Tony. Let you let me go.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Let me go. Oh, God, please. Oh, come my feet off. You're going to be all right, you're going to be all right, Tony. You're going to be all right, buddy. Okay. No. Don't you smell.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop, obviously. You're going to be okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Okay. Relax. Okay. Got me over here, so I'll just, I'll unbuckle these. Okay. Okay. No. Help me!
Starting point is 00:42:04 Tony, you're going to relax. Help me. We gotta stop. You're gonna relax. I'm stopping, please. Okay. Please, I'm stopping, please. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Ah! Ah! Yeah! Ah! Ah! The whole ordeal keeps repeating, and Tony is seen hyperventilating in being really anxious as he struggles on the ground. Soon a paramedic shows up with a blood pressure monitor and just casually measures Tampa's blood pressure as he screams through the whole process, visibly losing his mind
Starting point is 00:42:42 while you can hear laughter in the background. Murky knee somewhere. I just got what you meant by that. After him, please me, please. Tell me, my friend. Tell me, I need to touch. Afterwards, the officers try probing him for questions, and when he's unable to respond properly,
Starting point is 00:43:33 there's chatter hurt in the background, saying he's definitely on something. Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Hey sir, can you talk?
Starting point is 00:43:52 Oh no. Tony? Tony. Anthony Templar or someone. Hey, can you respond to my questions? Tony. No? Tony. I try to help, but I need to acknowledge.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Tony. Tony. Tony. This ain't just normal crazy, man. He's just normal crazy, man. He's on something. There's no way he's, this is normal crazy. The officers subduing him asked again what he took today, a question that he keeps on repeating.
Starting point is 00:44:27 All the officers are heard laughing as well in the joke the officer made while Tony suffers at their mercy. Help me. Tony. What did you take today? What did you take? Holder! Pinned him down like this because they had him just sitting down and he's like rolling, rolling like a rolling pole. And I was like ah, mhm, damn near I got kicked.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Let's be the one of y'all. They can both run the back, I'll try the ambulance. This is not the 11's ambulance. If it's 11's ambulance, then yes-o- anybody can drive it. Anybody can drive it. Let me see if he's warned him for anything. I highly die. I highly doubt it.
Starting point is 00:45:19 He's zip tight his feet. He's a kicker, man. I'm laying on him. And then suddenly, Tony goes silent. Still moving while the officer's debate if he's dead or alive, and you can hear them joke about how he's sleeping because they heard him snoring. Just trying to kick him.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Tony, you still with us? You're all right, bud? He's going to be all right. Is he acknowledged him? No, he's moving. I thought he nodded yes once he was. What's Tony? Tony. He's breathing.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Tony. I'll make sure you still breathe him. His nose is buried in there. I think he's still breathing. He just snorted. Tony. He's out long. He's asleep?
Starting point is 00:46:11 He's sleeping. He snore. That's what it was. Yeah, he's asleep. Shit, I was squirming that much have he sleeping too. When Tony is still unresponsive, they try shaking him in an attempt to get him. in an attempt to get a response, while one-offs are even jokes saying, back to school and, first day, can't be late. Those are then followed by a number of jokes of similar nature.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Tony. Tony. Tony. I'm going to school. Oh, my more minutes, love. First day, you can't be late. Tony. You're punching new shoes.
Starting point is 00:46:58 The paramedic then comes back to inject him with some medicine. And Tony's head flexes a bit, while the police assume as a sign of life. I don't know, he just got quiet. What was it? It just, whoop, there he comes. Two more minutes passed. Tony was completely still. No pulse check.
Starting point is 00:47:29 No CPR. They just lifted his limp body onto a stretcher like it was nothing. Oh. Ooh. Hey, don't fall off now. Is he knocked out or he did, is he? Next. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:59 I think I was going free. He didn't just die down there, did he? Finally, someone half-heartedly checked if he was breathing. One officer even joked. Hope we didn't kill him. And the others laughed again. Is he breathing? Hope that ain't killing.
Starting point is 00:48:21 He's all this weed shit. I love all this. It became a weed. Yeah. We ain't French. Exactly. It's America. Tony was loaded into the ambulance.
Starting point is 00:48:38 That's when a paramedic finally looked properly and said the words nobody had cared to check for until it was way too late. He's not breathing. He's not breathing? Nope. Oh, shit. Well, put on some gloves when he's chest compressions.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Fuck. He's breathing. So he was fighting and then just gave up. I've got her, his mom on the phone and she knows all this stuff. He's dead. He's what? He's dead.
Starting point is 00:49:10 The ambulance footage is mostly blurred, but you can see them trying CPR pushing on a chest that was already lifeless. Yeah, because he started to calm down, and then he started snoring, and he was still breathing, and then I started noticing because his eyes were kind of open. Tony Tempe was gone. He was 32 years old. He called for help. Instead, they crushed the life out of him while laughing. Tony was struggling for 14 minutes to stay alive. No officer was ever criminally charged. His death was ruled a homicide. It took over three years for footage of the incident to be released. The footage contradicted claims by Dallas police that Tempe was aggressive.
Starting point is 00:50:04 The officers involved were Sergeant Kevin Mansell and officers Danny Vasquez and Dustin Dillard. Criminal charges against three officers were dropped in March 2019 and they soon were return to active duty. An excessive force civil lawsuit against the officers was dismissed by U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey in July 2020 on a basis of qualified immunity. On December 15, 2021, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing the trial court decision given the officer's qualified immunity, which means the Tempa family won the right to go to trial in their case against Dillard. In September 2023, a jury found three officers liable for Tempa's wrongful death, awarding Tempa's son $1 million.
Starting point is 00:50:52 The officers' lawyers had argued that the cocaine content in Tempa system was what killed him. The Tampa family's lawyers had argued for hundreds of millions of dollars to be given to the Tempa estate, Timpa's parents, and Tempa's son. Two jurors later said they regretted not giving Timba's family more in damages. And that pretty much wraps up today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

Starting point is 00:51:37 Just let me know. I really hope it all looked pretty good. Turned it out all right. I think it did. And just comment down below. Would you like to see more in the future? I notice a lot of these body cam videos do very, very well on YouTube. So I'm like, why not did my hand into it and maybe do a little bit more research than most of the other guys
Starting point is 00:51:54 and kind of lay out the entire case instead of just like the part where, you know, violence happens or something? But I hope you guys enjoyed. And please comment down below what you thought about this video, which you liked, what you didn't like, what you'd like to see in the future.
