  • stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -8/+181That's just not right. This needs to make it to the front page....
    • gardnert1, on 10/12/2007, -24/+141People dont care enough about ***** that isnt happening to themselves. The problem with America is that its full of Americans. And by that I mean people are taught to care about number 1 and thats all. Thats why crime is high, thats why divorce rates are high, thats why materialism rules our culture.

    • nazuraki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+87By the way, the 'supervisor' shown in the video is Sgt. Clayton A. Swatzell.
    • datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -145/+19He went there for the sole purpose of instigating a fight between himself and the police so he could put this on the website and the police didn't follow their own rules. They are both retarded.
    • Mike89, on 10/12/2007, -101/+21Not only was that the sole purpose, the description is misleading. The guy hardly had his head "smashed into" anything. Like everybody else, Im wanting to see the missing footage.
    • Forgery, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36Link to the site: http://www.policeabuse.org/

      (though it's under heavy load right now)
    • SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+115I cannot understand those defending the police involved.

      There is no excuse. None. The second a person asks for a complaint form they get one no questions asked. Anything else and there is grave cause for alarm.

      Of course they went there because they expected this to happen. They had gotten reports of behavior like this and went there to prove it. That means they are in the wrong? If a cop goes to investigate a suspected crime, are they also are guilty of causing it?

      Don't look important things up in your gut. Think!
    • Spanktacular, on 10/12/2007, -2/+85datastorageguy, do you even understand the concept of investigative journalism? He didn't go there looking for a fight with the police, he went there to expose their brutality and corruption. THEY are at fault here, not the citizen arrested for refusing to discuss a complaint against another officer in the LOBBY. He was arrested for violating NO LAW.

      Are you possessed of some absolute subservience to authority that inspires you to make such painfully stupid remarks?
    • ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -47/+12Wow this video does make you swallow your patriotism for a moment. However...

      Yes the police were wrong to make him wait that long (although I've waited longer)... on the otherhand... something doesn't seem right...

      This would be the first time I've ever seen where a cop pushes someone against a wall and the guy's head just goes pop against the window, and I've seen my share of arrests back when I lived in a drug addict/dealer infested area of Woodside NYC. The cop did not grab this guy's head and smashed it into the window at all, the guy just walked into it.
    • SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+67"Yes the police were wrong to make him wait that long"

      That's misleading. He, repeatedly, got to speak to an officer about why he was there and they, repeatedly, refused to give him a complaint form. That's not keeping someone waiting. That's abusing ones power and refusing a citizen of the USA his lawful rights.
    • dboylon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+78Even if they do dramatize the handcuffing incident...for god's sake the guy just asked for a complaint form! They have no business not giving him one. If you can't file a complaint against an officer...the officers consider themselves above the law.
    • ilyag, on 10/12/2007, -54/+18This whole video reeks so much of propaganda that it made me really uncomfortable watching it. I REALLY dislike people who try to get their points across by exaggerating things - tense music to heighten the viewer's emotions, incessant edits of possibly important sections of the video (did this guy agitate or threaten the police officer in any way during any of these cuts?)

      Plus, I refuse to believe that the people responsible for this video did not expect it to end EXACTLY as it did, which is why they were taping this in the first place. Therefore, they'd be perfectly willing to either stage and/or exaggerate certain sections of it ("oh no, he's lying in a hospital bed with a small cut on his eyebrow!").

      Unless a music-free, edit-free video of this exists and is made available, I will not support this organization, and I urge you to do the same. If they do release an un-edited video, only THEN will I make up my mind about what what happened, because I will be relying on my own eyes and ears, not on what they so desperately try to CONVINCE me of with their slick and over-the-top presentation.
    • CriX, on 10/12/2007, -39/+13I agree that this is major anti-cop propoganda.

      It's totally messed up that they don't just have the forms available. You shouldn't have to even ask for it. But that guy did not have his head slammed into plexiglass. lol Watch the video, it's laughable how far forward the guy was leaning and the cop didn't even have his hand on the dude's back. This was no more than a small bump and into a piece of flexible plexiglass, better than a wall. In all the scenes that werent' edited into this masterpiece I bet he's being a real wiseass. If he had a legitimate complaint (as this individual did not I'm pretty sure... this was an actor that works for the .org) he would have taken the time to begin explaining the incident and hopefully he would have been treated with a bit more respect.

    • archiesteel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37CriX: you're missing the point. He didn't *have* to explain his complaint. All he wanted was a form, and the fact that, not only did they not give it to him, but *handcuffed* him clearly shows that the police officers present just ignored the rules.
    • lordthor, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6You're a ***** idiot if you think we don't care about stuff like this.

    • rogueman, on 10/12/2007, -12/+17 Too many edits to make a definite opinion. No timestamps, just their word he waited 22 minutes, things could be very different with the missing footage. Also, from a bump on the head to a hospital bed a few days later is a long way.

      Not that police couldn't be very much at fault, just that in this particular case i need more facts to blame them, and my intuition tells me something smells.
    • CriX, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7No, YOU'RE missing the point.

      Quote from my post, BTW "It's totally messed up that they don't just have the forms available. You shouldn't have to even ask for it."

      This video and story were created with an agenda. Scroll down and see the other highly dugg post saying what I'm saying.
    • CannibalTom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6at "ilyag"

      I don't know how thing are where you live, but hospitals won't even admit people unless they are SERIOUSLY hurt. No one in their right mind would "plan" on getting hurt enough to go to the hospital, its not a good experience at all, even if your faking it.
    • NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Did'jever wonder why most blacks left Missouri after the civil war? Not nearly as many lynchings on the Kansas side of the line.... If its news to you that the cops in Independence Missouri are assholes, then maybe someone should try getting a police complaint form from the vast majority of Southern cities that don't even have such a form.
    • da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Ok I completely agree the cops were in the wrong on all fronts but why did he throw himself into the glass at the end? and lol how did he get up in the hospital afterwards? I would have been much more inclined to be outraged if the guy wouldn't have tried to injure himself at the end of the whole thing? I mean the cop cuffed him for nothing, his point was proven he didn't need to make it look like they brutalized him.
    • Zigerot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I am an APA Officer in Raleigh North Carolina, the only reason that someone walking in off the street would not get a COM form is because the officers involved know what its all about. I'll bet money that an Officer came in that day saying that they might get a complaint. Now does that excuse what happened here, ***** No!
      The officers here thought that they could intimidate the subject in to not making his complaint and then arrested him for trespassing when he refused to leave, and that case will get thrown out of court when its up on the docket.
      I am as outraged about this as any of you, but you have to submit that the head wound was a little staged, the officer didn't direct the guys head to the window, and when it hits the guy makes a hell of a production out of the injury. Also the whole ER shot and him in pain with his three whole stitches seemed a little over the top. I think that this video should be spread around as much as possible but I wouldn't open my wallet if I was you.
    • baxtermadux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the video doesn't show the officer throw him into anything. the officer isn't even shown touching the guys head, yet the guy slams his head down onto the table, and then immediately cries about his head. i think its clearly exaggerated on the part of the investigator. plus its edited so we dint hear everything the guy said to the police.
  • JonisJon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+136The biggest problem is that the people who end up as police are those who know the least how to handle their power.
    • yoda715, on 10/12/2007, -14/+37I agree
    • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+59And those who are drafted due to their lack of IQ and high ability to follow instruction without question or use of initiative. Those who value these things so highly that they will do whatever they can to cover up that which might incriminate them.

      It's a disgrace, and these sort of incidents are by no means isolated.
    • jeffiek, on 10/12/2007, -17/+75No one knows how to handle power.
    • Arkz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+24Lex Luthor does... But he always gets stopped by... err... i forget, is it a Bird or a Plane?
    • SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -5/+45"No one knows how to handle power."

      This needs to be dugg way up, not down.

      Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is why there are checks and balances written into the constitution of the USA. This is why it is every citizens duty to cry foul if authorities abuse their power.
    • ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -15/+4On the other end... One guy that ended up as president of the USA also know the least how to handle its power. You know who I'm talking about..... Hummmm or maybe he does and doest it on purpose.
    • 4ndr3wk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4they know how to use their powers they just abuse it
    • jeffiek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10"This is why there are checks and balances written into the constitution of the USA."

      Indeed. It's the checks and balances in life that keep the dark side of human nature at bay. That's why it's not a good idea to have to much power in any one place. The need for checks grows right along.

      The three checks in the constitution were a good idea.

      They weren't enough.
    • archiesteel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Disciplinary actions against cops need to be a lot more severe. You break the law? You get *twice* the normal penalty. You're supposed to uphold the law! If you break it, you damage society in two ways: with the actual crime, and by undermining the public's confidence in the institution of law enforcement.
    • Ashkc88, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Police don't have "power" They just enforce the law, thats not power. Police have been arrested in my city for the same reasons citizens have.
    • pulphero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Modern policing is a very competitive field. Normally, out of a pool of 1000 applicants, only 200 pass the initial testing and background check. The remaining 200 are tested on physical condition and IQ. Roughly, the top 50 are sent to the police academy, of which 30 graduate.

      Back before the late 60's, a lot of states eliminated people with high IQs due to the belief that very smart people would be too much in their heads and freeze up when they needed to act.

      Provided that there were no threats made against the officer, the actions were totally out of line. As a law enforcement officer myself, I would say that 20% of cops are dicks. I liken it to pig farmers who, after working with ***** long enough, start to have a bit of a stink themselves.
    • Ashkc88, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1I have to digg the officer up, I hate seeing people trash cops who risk their lives for other people, and get ***** in return. If I were a cop, I wouldnt be too nice to other people either since they are treated like scum when they are just trying to do their jobs.
  • chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -4/+88Most cops are pretty good guys/gals that have to deal with a lot of *****, but this guy was way over line. The guy trying to get the complaint form wasn't doing anything wrong at all, he had a slight attitude, but since when is that grounds for getting your head bashed into a window?
    • Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75He just didn't want to go back into some interrogation room where he would proceed to get the ***** kicked out of him.
    • beotch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26@chembro, I keep hearing this "most are good cops" story, but everything I've seen including all my personal encounters leads me to believe the "***** cop" is the norm. I'm a polite guy and never broke any laws leading up to the encounters, so there was no reason to be an *****, they just were/are.
    • akcoder, on 10/12/2007, -13/+9@beotch: I second that. I've had two encounters with the police this year. First one, my car broke down when driving home. I pulled off to the side of the road, far out of traffic and was trying to fix it. Then a cop pulls up, asks whats wrong, I tell him; then he wants to see my license and what not. Stupid cops.

      Second one happened in June of this year. I'm driving along, and I see a cop running a speed trap. Now before I continue, you have to understand the cops up here like to complain about how they are under manned, and don't have enough man power to respond to calls in a timely manner. Anyways, because of all the bitching about manpower from the cops, and seeing this guy running a speed trap, I've had it. I give the guy the finger as I'm driving by, doing the speed limit. About 3 seconds later, I see his sex lights come on.

      I pull over, he comes up to my car acting like hes one big bad mother *****; Tells me he pulled me over for giving him the finger, I tell him "You ever heard of a little something called the 1st amendment to the Constitution?" Tough guy says "You ever heard of challenging to a fight?" I said "Don't flatter yourself. Do you really think I would want to fight with the cops? I don't want to end up like Rodney King". He goes back to his car, runs me in the computer, comes back with nothing. Walks back to my car like hes A #1 tough guy. I continued to verbally joust with him the entire time. No ticket for me though.

      Its a good thing I pulled over in a public place with cameras and witnesses around... I'd hate to see what my cities "finest" would have done had it been at night in the alley...
    • beotch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@akcoder Anyone would be an ***** if you gave them the finger. Not to say the cop didn't deserve it, but you can't really expect otherwise.
  • deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+133First, it's the kid getting arrested for holding a BUCK FUCH sign. Now it's this poor dude getting arrested for asking for a complaint form. I love the Internet. If it were not for the Internet all these abuses would have never seen the day of light.

    And thanks to the Internet it's not only Big Brother watching the people. It's now the people watching Big Brother. Let the tables turn. No one is above the law, not even the police.

    I don't hate cops, I just hate the assholes. Unfortunately, law enforcement is filled with them.
    • laplie, on 10/12/2007, -38/+11" If it were not for the Internet all these abuses would have never seen the day of light."

      nah. if you sent this to a TV stations, I'm sure there are lots that would be happy to air this. "Shock" tv is still one of the best ways to get ratings
    • hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -3/+66FCC:I'm sorry but your broadcasting license isn't going to be renewed.
    • Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33No *****, they would never show this on TV.
    • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45I deal with TV stations & advertisers, and most people don't follow laws, they follow intimidation.

      Certain things don't get aired because it's not good business sense to attract lawsuits or turn away advertisers... It's much safer (and gets more viewers) to talk about 17 year old british kids playing with toothpaste bombs than it is to talk about *REAL* news and *REAL threats in our society...
    • theone3, on 10/12/2007, -23/+4"would have never seen the day of light."

      As opposed to.. the day of dark?
    • klaymen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2it's sad that borgib is being dugg down. he wasn't saying that there is no such thing as police brutality, simply that people can act irrationally on both ends of the spectrum. this guy definately hit his own head on the window for effect (which is why he yelled "my head dude! my head! my head!"). this is definately a corrupt police office, but like other people have said, it would be much more benificial to see the entire video.
  • vhold, on 10/12/2007, -9/+62I'd like to digg this, but the cheesy music and constant editing with black and whitle titles flying at you to make it seem all evil are defiant to the spirit of truth.

    Let reality speak for itself and lay off the dramatics when it comes to stuff like this.

    The constant cutting also leads me to believe there is something simply missing from this video. He is all meekly asking for a complaint form and they suddenly detain him? Then the video asks for dontations? What aren't we seeing?
    • Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Well, it's obvously from the station's own video cameras (unless they let the guy film from on top of a ladder), probably took years to get the police to unass this footage. But whatever, the existing footage speaks for itself, don't kid yourself into believing that it went down any other way, you're just blindfolding yourself. It could easily happen to you.
    • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Yeah this sort of ***** has happened to me first hand.

      The saying "power corrupts" wasn't coined for fun... These guy's often have let it go to their heads, and there's little recourse when it does..

      The only thing that can be done is we recognise the problems when they arise.
    • vhold, on 10/12/2007, -11/+28"But whatever, the existing footage speaks for itself, don't kid yourself into believing that it went down any other way, you're just blindfolding yourself."

      I'm just questioning why it seems so doctored. What's more blindfolded? Blindly accepting this video as truth, or questioning it?

      You can't even really tell what way it actually went down. They show him being carted off camera, but then what? Not only does it cut all over the place, but there is no clear aftermath.

      Also, watch the part where he hits his face on the plexiglass carefully. Does it actually look to you like the cop is pushing him aggressively? I'm sorry, but to me it doesn't. To me it looks like he threw himself into it. Watch it a few times.

      They show a hospital, then they show him lying somewhere with his eyes closed and what looks like a cut on his face. Did he require stitches, or were they creating a false notion of what happened by just showing stuff?

      Then after all that, he asks for money. I'm sorry, but BS senses definitely tingling.
    • interiot, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Not that there's *any* excuse for a cop to be really physically aggressive with someone who's being nonviolent in a police station.... But just like quotes taken out of context can be twisted quite a bit, we don't necessarily know the context to the video. It's possible that the guy who visited the police station had prior arrests, or had visited the previous day and was an ***** or something.
    • misinformation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I question him hitting his head and while the editing leaves questions, YouTube doesn't allow uploads of 25 minute clips. I do think he played it up some for the shot afterwards in the hospital with little doubt in my mind though. What makes the entire thing worrisome is that he couldn't get a complaint form and the police were violating numerous policies in order to prevent him from getting a form. The truth didn't need to be dramatized in that regard. Him being handcuffed after being questioned and denied a form was more than enough to put me on his side.
    • Kriss, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3I agree with you, vhold. The lesson to be learnt from this is that you should not headbutt plexi-glass partitions.
    • Poon007, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Wait. You wouls sit and watch him sitting there for 22 minutes waiting fro the jerk to come out of the back office. I think not. The cuts would be needed to not bore the crap out of us. The music was a bit cheesy, but the images do not lie. They jammed his face against the glass. They violated there own complaint policy.

      I guess when you are the one in power you think you can break the rules with that power...Isn't that right Mr. Bush? Wire tap everyone yet?

      Sounds bad, but we keep seeing more and more of this crap and we get closer and closer to a 1984 police state.
    • borgib, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3@poon

      You need to watch that again. No officer had there hand on his head No officer jammed his face against the glass. I watched over and over, and it seemed to me the cop hardly pushed him. Like others I think he might have leaned into it a little.

      Just as there are idiot cops blinded by their power, there idiots civilians blinded by their hate.

      Next time you get pulled over be polite. You'd be surprised how well it goes.
    • dboylon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18You guys are pathetic. The guy was not allowed to get a complaint form. That is the tragic thing here. The editing and the arrest may have been played up for effect but the police invetigator was correct. The police department was indeed corrupt. They wouldn't let him file a complaint. Why is this so hard to understand? Are you all braindead?
    • Kriss, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Nobody is denying that he wasn't given a complaint form. The police were stupid not to give him a form, that doesn't need reiterating. It's just the fact that he tried to make out that he was assaulted, when he only handcuffed.

      The police do sometimes act stupidly, but in this case the guy was obviously just trying to make something out of nothing. I'm not pro-police (far from it), but in this case it's obvious that the guy wasn't pushed at all, and that doesn't exactly make me sympathetic for him and his little wound. That's all I'm getting at.
    • missflibbles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd very much like to see the original video, unedited. The music is cheesy and the graphics are a little too much.

      However, I do find it hard to believe that at any time he took a swing at a cop, and since I didn't see anyone running for cover or hear anyone screaming, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume he didn't make a bomb threat, either.

      I don't care how long he was waiting. They dicked with him when he just wanted the form, when they should have just handed one over and said, "Have a nice day, sir."

      Short of a threat or physical violence, they have no reason to arrest him.
  • aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I like how when a one video becomes very populuar on the front page, you start seeing numerous similar submissions following it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to let the public see these actions taken by our police. After all, at least it's not a Colbert clip...
    • allenu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13They should add a feature where you can post a related story. Then, beneath the blurb for each story, it'll say, "If you liked this story, you might also like ..." and list other stories that are related if they get enough diggs. It would be a good way to take advantage of people's need to post related stuff.

    • geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38... at the taxpayer's expense.

      The guy had an attitude and didn't show much respect but being disrespectful isn't against the law. Taxpayers will end up footing the bill for this lawsuit, as they usually do in the countless police misconduct cases. I personally have little respect for cops as they haven't been there when I needed them but they were there when they weren't needed, making sure to restrict my freedom and rights.

      You have to pick your battles in life, I have turned the other cheek when it comes to police abuse, but inside I have 0 respect for cops. They talk about the stress, I don't care about excuses for bad behavior. I have stress and I play by the rules.

      It boils down to cops wanting to be jerks and enjoying the adrenaline rush of power.
    • theoallardyce, on 10/12/2007, -9/+19Erm its illegal to film police officers - its one of the secret federal laws passed under the PATRIOT Act. Im not supposed to say that but ***** it.
  • wirah, on 10/12/2007, -20/+11Haha true.

    People shouldn't need to ask for a complaint form. They should place them on their boards along with the other leaflets etc.

    And ***** police chiefs like that old man need to get fired. Are their a lot of police that join the force to take out their anger on innocent people? It's a way to beat people up legally and 'feel big'. Very gay.

      Also, (you may not know this) but the world has infact, more than one timezone (shocking, I know); whoever submitted this may have submitted it in the afternoon.

    You set the example the rest of the world is following. You have yourselves to blame.
  • ifrkr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34i get the feeling most policemen are just insecure little pricks who can only relieve their stress by taking it out on other defenseless people. but then, nearly everyone employed by the government is like that (dmv, school admins, white house staff, etc).
    • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Not only that, but most of them think they are "doing the right thing"

      After all, these people are probably "fags/communists/terrorists/*****/witches" or whatever the 'demon' of the day is...

      "why these people gotta act diffrent anyways?"
    • timtipton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2oh, ok, let's make a global stereotype about all cops based on one propaganda film... face it - without police, there is no law, without law, there is only chaos... chaos as law is not what i wish upon my children...

      don't make complete generalizations based on your small peephole to the world... by doing so, you become what you are so eager to rebel against

      ok - start "un"digging. . . . . NOW!
  • stinknugget, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11So, the 2nd ammendment says you have the right to have arms and the obligation to use them to agressors at home, that would include the police. So, why dont you use your 2nd ammendment rights? The police are obviously the agressor at home.
    • MutedMajority, on 04/30/2008, -0/+0You nailed it. That was written specifically so citizens can protect themselves from a rogue government. You also have the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness by the venue of your choice (with respect to others pursuit of happiness) which is defendable by "abolishment or replacement" of any law or government which comes destructive to it.

    • Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7there's a difference?
  • Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7It appears to be quite shocking. I'd like to see the whole footage. It's heavily edited.
    The police should not act this way, but I feel we are not being presented with everything that was said.


    • misinformation, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Do you want to watch 25 or so minutes of tape split up over several clips on YouTube?
    • Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7Yes, if I wanted to see the whole picture. How do you know he was't standing there swearing at the officer for 10 minutes, causing a scene?

      I'm not saying I agree with the actions taken, just that editing can completely change the perspective of what actually happened. I do not think the cop should have done what he did, and I do not agree with police brutality.
    • siodine, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8@misinformation: yeah I'd like to know if im being manipulated by some clever editing.
    • misinformation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17He still was turned down the form from the beginning. Anything he does after that is null and void if the point of the video is to show police misconduct (refusing or making a complaint difficult is misconduct). If he was swearing from the start he would have most likely been arrested and there'd be no cut up video as there wouldn't be enough to cut. The officer he first speaks to doesn't seem to be treating him like someone who was shouting profusely before any editing either.

      I'm would like to see the whole thing before jumping to the conclusion that the arrest was warranted as I have posted a bit earlier. Though I can say with a good deal of certainty that he was denied a complaint form and policies were disregarded. If he was swearing or acting a fool, they would most likely have treated him much more forcefully than the questionable slam against the wall. Aggressive people are arrested forcefully to minimize threats to the arresting officer (rightfully so). While edited, the actions that are shown do give clues as to what happened in between cuts. The actions shown do not depict a screaming loon.
    • Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7misinformation, I'm not arguing about that. My only problem is that we are only seeing part of it. The police are in the wrong, they have clearly break thier own rules in this video.

      I think we agree, but my point was that I'd like to see the whole, unedited version before passing judgement on the arrest part of it.

  • stinknugget, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22The guy is an investigator investigating police abuse so why would he be causing trouble?

    Why didnt the police just give him the form? That right there is wrong, not giving the form. Then they proceed to be confrontational to a person asking for a form. Maybe I missed it but which part is the investigator doing wrong?

  • 15charmaxwtf, on 10/12/2007, -21/+5Privatise the police force, no company would allow this to happen because they could not exist against competition.
    • Spanktacular, on 10/12/2007, -9/+7You're an idiot. Or, you're an internet Libertarian, which is little different than a brain damaged Republican who has watched too much Star Trek...

      A private contractor for the CIA was just found guilty of abusing an Iraqi prisoner. Bad press is bad for business so the same tactics, if not worse, would potentially be used in the very same situation as the one in the video.
    • diggduggjoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The benefits of privatization is that the firm could lose it's contract. I believe a police contract would have far greater public discussion than a CIA contract. Currently, in the US alderman and city pols get off a lot due to the individual cop knowing his head will roll, eventually. A cop for a private firm would not be individually at risk, only his entire firm. When a mayor busted for drunk driving demands a police contract to awarded to someone else, it will look as it is and will not receive traction. Another benefit to privatization is the firm will be responsible for the lawsuits from brutality and not the city, town or village.That alone will increase the desire for very precise careful police work. The CEOs will demand it.
  • yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -25/+4They expect us to believe and support their 'cause' from this over-dramatized, sensationalist 2 minute video? I for one need a little more than that to be convinced. Looks like he was looking for trouble - and he was lucky enough to get an ***** cop come meet him. Well done.
    • yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -20/+4People, don't be so easily misled. Do you really know the full story after seeing this video? I also believe the police should never abuse their powers but If we consume media like this with very little or no skepticism and accept and make judgments so easily it can be very dangerous.
    • Spanktacular, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Exactly right about blindly consuming media. I mean, if we did that, we'd end up in a war over weapons that didn't exist simply because the President told us they did. We certainly wouldn't want that to happen, now would we?

    Song: Sound of Da Police
    Artist: KRS-One
    Album: Return Of The Boom Bap

    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of da police!
    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of the beast!

    Stand clear! Don man a-talk
    You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
    Watch out! We run New York
    Police man come, we bust him out the park
    I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act
    You claim I'm sellin' crack
    But you be doin' that
    I'd rather say "see ya"
    Cause I would never be ya
    Be a officer? You WICKED overseer!
    Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour
    First show a little respect, change your behavior
    Change your attitude, change your plan
    There could never really be justice on stolen land
    Are you really for peace and equality?
    Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
    Your laws are minimal
    Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal
    This has got to cease
    Cause we be getting HYPED to the sound of da police!

    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of da police!
    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of the beast!

    Now here's a likkle truth
    Open up your eye
    While you're checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
    Take the word "overseer," like a sample
    Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example
    Overseer
    Overseer
    Overseer
    Overseer
    Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer!
    Yeah, officer from overseer
    You need a little clarity?
    Check the similarity!
    The overseer rode around the plantation
    The officer is off patroling all the nation
    The overseer could stop you what you're doing
    The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
    The overseer had the right to get ill
    And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
    The officer has the right to arrest
    And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!
    (Woop!) They both ride horses
    After 400 years, I've _got_ no choices!
    The police them have a little gun
    So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one
    (Woop-woop!) I hear it all day
    Just so they can run the light and be upon their way

    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of da police!
    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of the beast!

    Check out the message in a rough stylee
    The real criminals are the C-O-P
    You check for undercover and the one PD
    But just a mere Black man, them want check me
    Them check out me car for it shine like the sun
    But them jealous or them vexed cause them can't afford one
    Black people still slaves up til today
    But the Black police officer nah see it that way
    Him want a salary
    Him want it
    So he put on a badge and kill people for it
    My grandfather had to deal with the cops
    My great-grandfather dealt with the cops
    My GREAT grandfather had to deal with the cops
    And then my great, great, great, great... when it's gonna stop?!

    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of da police!
    Woop-woop!
    That's the sound of the beast!
  • speedstream, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11First of all, I'm pretty sure all cops lie about the complaint forms. They've got each other covered. And even if they did give out the forms, they would just end up in the trash the moment you left. And if you came back to complain, the would say they misfiled your last form and make you fill out a new one.
    • iliketoprogram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what can you expect? they are a fraternity, after all..
    • garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Mmmm hot cop girls having a pillow fight...

  • BasouKazuma, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6I dont like the whole propaganda style of the video. They couldve just shown the video without all that text and that crappy music. A better idea would've been to take the unedited video and post it into a blog with an explanation.
    • mabhatter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4hey, it's good to see any anti-cop propaganda true or not. After all we have 20 seasons of Cops that is nothing but blantant pro-police propaganda on Fox.
  • Odweaver, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2My BS senses are also tingling with this video, no digg. Saying that a majority of cops are assholes in both unfair and innacurate. From what i've seen most seem to be nice enough people, as long as you don't get worked up enough and treat them like another human being (no, don't try to butter them up or anything).
  • bj00rn, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1What the hell is up with that music??? Anyway, the video looks out of context, obviously produced and angled. The attitude of the guy looks no better than the cop's. If the guys behind the video want our honest help, why don't they release the raw material so that we can make up our own minds without trying to remote-control us with lame produced videos?


    • gardnert1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7So you think its ok for that cop to smash the guy's face into a window for being rude? He WASNT being rude, the cop was. If you listen to the audio you'd know that. No, the only reason why people are seriously doubting the validity of the clip is that they already made up their mind that they think police are good, thus, any evidence to the contrary MUST be false or else they would have to admit to being wrong which their braind simple wont do. Its just like partisan politics and religion. There is an article that was posted on digg a couple weeks ago that explained why partisan politics are so extreme. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/30/AR2006073000579.html?nav=rss_politics
      Copy and paste that into your browser.
    • bj00rn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2That logic could be turned around and used on you as well, don't be condescending.

      If they honestly want the truth to come out then they shouldn't make a lame produced video with lame dramatic music! That's all I'm saying. I want to see the raw material, and then I want to make up my own mind. I didn't say anything about the cops being right, don't put ***** words into my mouth. What I want is something without heavy bias, and that video was heavily biased, period.

  • mrvendetta1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Yes that guy in the clip was definetly a democrat and probabably had it coming to him(sarcasm). But seriously i think that the Missouri has really come along way from being a mostly african american civil rights abuser to a equal opportunity civil rights abuser.
    • mrvendetta1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Actually the cop broke the rules, the guy couldnt made a complaint, even though he is supposed to be able to. And cops shouldnt have to worry about undercover watchdogs becuase they should do the right thing EVERYTIME. Noone is saying paper pushing cops at the police abuse center isnt hard. I know a cop's job is hard and i respect what they do because they are supposed to keep the peace, but there is absolutely no excuse for abusing people trying to make a complaint about the police at the POLICE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT.
  • Kobayashi953, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2Cops have more important things to do than worry about undercover watchdogs. The guy was raising his voice to the officer and giving him attitude. The officer who restrained him wouldn't have done it without just cause knowing that everything was being recorded.

    Try being a cop for a day - then make your judgment.
    • Qtip42, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3You're an idiot and cops aren't the brightest people on the planet either. Lets not put pressure on the backwards retards that are the police or anything.

      I've never seen a smart cop in my life, just a guy who couldn't get a better job.
    • quazywabbit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7it could have been avoided, but just giving out the form and doing his f-ing job.
    • beotch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yes, after one day I would beat you down for raising your voice over mine. Great excuse there pal, go back to the donut shop.
  • deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@Kobayashi953

    No screw that. All they had to do is give the guy the form. The guy could of wiped his ass with it for all they cared. It's just a piece of paper. But the clerk and then the cop went out of their way to make things difficult for the young man.
    And if there where no camera's recording this abuse then we would have never seen or heard of it. The cop was totally in the wrong. I don't care if the officer had a bad day or that his dog died. There was no excuse for the way the cop handled the situation. Again, all they had to do is give the dude the form - a freaking piece of paper. How hard was that for them to do?
    Abuse is abuse. And no man is above the law not even the police (especially if he's having a bad day or that he has it tough). They should throw the book at the cop. But instead, we all know what will happen. He'll get a slap on the wrist (it that).
  • whatrucrazy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7OMFG "The guy was raising his voice to the officer and giving him attitude", well lets take him out the back for a savage beating. no-one is surprised by this, we all know cops protect their own and have a huge moral superiority complex - cause if you're reporting on a cop[ (a good guy), well, you therefore have to be a bad guy.
    the sequence of events is something i've seen so many times: cop lies to a person (no you can't have a form you have to tell me), person disagrees/asserts their legal rights, cop creates a situation by which the person is "breaking the law" (cop tells him to leave, he says 'what? give me my form'), cop arrests person and assaults them. i have seen this happen not just to kids and social 'scum', but people trained in the law. the cops don't even think of this as wrong, the are doing it so it has to be right.
    this is why so may people hate cops, they are given a profound authority and almost all of them abuse it. they have all the power, yet they act like children.
    anyone in the USA should complain to the relevant authorities AND publicise the results, then maybe the cops might think twice.
  • jamesob5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2There are people out there with chainsaws and their taking this guy in? I hate most policeman.
  • steal_apps01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2All Cops abuse there powers at least once if not several times in there policing careers, there cops they can do whatever they want. Do you think someone will stop them? Of course not.
    • jolton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You're right, they do. That is why it's up to people like us to make sure that as many people know, see, and hear about it as possible.

      Standing by while this goes on, and doing nothing, is another way of helping those who do things like this get away with it. And while we can't be there to physically protect those that are abused by authorities unnecessarily, we certainly can do our best to make these corrupt officials known to the public so that they can get their punishment.

      We can't be there to stop them, you're right. But we can make damn sure they don't get away with it. And we can help to make damn sure that some one else will think twice before they violate some ones rights with verbal or physical brutality.

      DUGG.

  • henryaj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Here is a letter I have written to the Independence, Missouri Chief of Police and copied to the Professional Standards Internal Affairs Unit.

    subject: Recent incident of police abuse in your PD

    Dear Mr Mills

    I am writing to you to complain about a well-publicized incident of police abuse that occurred in the Independence, Missouri Police Department on March 24th, 2006. In the incident I am referring to, a man investigating police abuse requests a complaint form from a desk clerk. After being made to wait more than twenty minutes for the form, he requests to see a supervisor – Sgt. Clayton A. Swatzell, if I am not mistaken.

    Sgt. Swatzell approaches the man wishing to file a complaint and asks him the details of the complaint while he is in the lobby of the Police Department. Independence PD policy states that:

    "...under no circumstances are we to discuss a complaint in the reception area."

    After trying to convince Sgt. Swatzell to give him a complaint form – something which should be incredibly simple to do – the man forcibly arrested, and in the process receives an injury to his face when it hits the plastic barrier between the lobby and the clerks.

    The video showing the alleged abuse is available here:-

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p53ky3RIjfU

    The Independence DA is now filing charges against the man who requested the complaint form.

    The fact that such blatant violation of policy leading to the arrest of an innocent citizen who had not committed a crime is thought to be acceptable by an officer is absolutely disgraceful, and to sanction such behavior by filing charges against said innocent citizen is criminal.

    I request that you withdraw the charges you are filing and discipline the officer involved. I request that you also issue a public apology to the man who had his civil liberties infringed upon so drastically.

    I have copied this email to the Professional Standards Internal Affairs Unit to alert them to this incident.

    Yours sincerely

    (Your Name Here)
  • starmanjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2its not just a problem of police actually physically abusing people... its a general attitude that the police don't need to follow the rules anymore. i live in a small mid western town. very far from any terrorist threat. i am friends with the chief of police. i am known in my town as someone you can call on. i am not scary... i have worked in law enforcement... in the juvenile system... i am not anti police.

    but in the last couple months i have been stopped coming into town early in the morning. my house is on the edge of town. i can drive up a gravel county road enter town and be in my garage inside of a 100 yards. thats what i was doing. there was a cop sitting on the side of the road as i passed. i was driving the speed limit. 30 mph. as i passed he pulled out behind me. i signaled a right turn. went a block signaled another right turn and he hit me with his lights. i continued to my drive way and hit the button to open the garage door. so he pulled up behind me. lights going at 2 AM and as my garage door was opening he checked my drivers license and said that he thought i was evasively. huh? he was polite and cool... and stopped his check when he put it all together and realized it was nothing.

    different time. coming into town early in the morning. i was driving by the middle school and the high school. 30 mph. nobody but me. i passed a cop coming the other direction. we passed and i looked in my rear view mirror and saw him making a 3 point turn in the middle of the road. i wasn't doing anything wrong so i turned on the frontage road a mile or so from home. i was surprised when raced up behind me. lights going he gave me blast from his siren. i stopped. he came up to the window and checked my insurance and license. then went on to say that he just wanted to say hi. that he stops people to introduce himself. then he ask if i'd been drinking.... i said no... not a drop. i hadn't been drinking. i'd done nothing to make him think so.

    neither of these stops would have been acceptable a few years ago. i could have had them disciplined or fired for stopping me for no reason... a few years ago. its just part a new attitude about whats acceptable under the bush administration.
    • modernhumorist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1...how did that have ANYTHING to do with Bush? Don't get me wrong, I agree completely that those policemen were in the wrong, but this blaming Bush for every single incident is getting ridiculous. For the record, I'm not even a Bush supporter but come on....
    • gardnert1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i agree with modernhumanist. Bush should only be blamed for his failed policies.
    • mabhatter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3it does have to do with Bush. The "patriot" act was bouncing around congress for 4 years prior, as a CIVILIAN law, in one form or another prior to 9/11. One of the big pushes that Ashcroft had was to get civilian law enforcement more powers, less lawsuits, and less accountablity. That was what he promised law enforcement he (and the "new american century" group) would do when in office... So yes, with the election of Bush and appointment of his cabinet was a decleration of "open season" for law enforcement.
    • modernhumorist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1While the officer pretty much always has the law on his side, (which has always been the case, regardless of the patriot act... by the way, putting patriot act in quotes doesn't change policy.) do you honestly believe the reason this happened was because of Bush?

      This would've happened one way or the other. It's the officer's moral values in question here. Bush is a figurehead. He doesn't micromanage every single police officer. His policies don't affect every single station either even if they should.

  • Anonymously, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This video was part of a series of investigative reports commissioned by local news station KCTV 5 News. http://kctv.com/Global/category.asp?C=79408
    Most police stations were reasonably cooperative.

    Obviously, this one wasn't, and, apparently, this was a decent sized news story in the area.
    In the link above, if you check the story, "Controversy Leads to Apologies, Changes", the police chief apoligizes and there's more video of the situation. The added video doesn't make the police behavior any better.

    The local news reporter grills the police chief at about 4:00 of the video.

    The added video makes it clear these guys aren't just instigators causing problems or that there was something edited out to indicate this guy did anything that makes the officer's response reasonable.

    As for what he was charged with, IIRC, the officer claimed there was a "crowd" in the waiting room, and the guy was instigating them.
    • stinknugget, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3In the area? It should be on national TV.

      Happened once it will happen again. Ofcourse he appologised once confronted. They all do.
    • berfmurret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2THIS is what should be on the front page... this completely explains all of my lingering questions.
  • Scramblor, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Off topic, but it is sad that everyone on digg has to digg down comments that dont match their viewpoints. This is clear a sensationalized piece of video with the dramatic music, careful editing etc.

    While it is true that the police should have given him the form right away, you should consider that these people have probably been working together for a good period of time and feel some sort of loyalty to each other and would be somewhat defenseful about this. I'm sure if you were working a job and someone wanted to file a complaint against one of your friends you probably would be hesitant as well.

    Also in regards to all the conduct violations by the police, these people have been working that job for who knows how many years and probably dont have the entire conduct memorized. Now I am sure someone will say that it is their job to know all that stuff, consider that being a police officer isnt exactly a high paying job that is going to attract the smartest people. If you want better police officers you have to pay them better, spend more on training etc, which I doubt msot of you taxpayers will want to foot the bill for.
    • williamdyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look at your town budget. Cops suck almost as much money as schools. Cops retire way too early, and they defraud disability at amazing rates.

      And before any bleeding hearts get on me about poorly paid teachers, do the math on spending per student, and ask where the money is going - i.e. not into the classroom.
  • mrvendetta1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you dont want to be abused, you gotta pay the police more money, lets face it, you cant complain about the police without being arrested. They are all buddies and if you wanna complain expect to have your face smashed in, but its not the cops fault its the music's fault, yes this obviously matches my viewpoint. I cant believe anybody would defend this crap.

    here are a couple other topics that should open your eyes a little wider to realize how insane america is becomming. To put it in context, 2 years ago i when i was a freshman at a the military college of south carolina i was an avid Bush supporter and ready to join the marine corps after graduation. NOW, i want to get as far away from this country as possible.
    • mabhatter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you do realize they refered to that plot in X-Files quite often.. The Federal Govt never denied it either!
  • AhronZombi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2i dont support nazism. so i am inclined to support cop killers
  • ChromeGhost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3For those that think of this as an isolated incident, take a look at the other police abuse videos on youtube

    Teen gets arrested for holding up a "***** Bush" sign
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23QgunoRYxw&mode=related&search=

    So if you say something cops don't agree with you get arrested? That video doesn't even have editing in it and you can see the wrongdoing.

    Here Police are Teargassing non-threatening protesters
