On June 3 of last year, I posted the video showing 22 year old Paul Wert sitting on a bench outside the CVS store where he worked. He had just gotten off work. The store had closed about 7 minutes earlier. Then, here comes Edgewater police officer Daniel Rippeon. Officer Rippeon observed Paul and concluded that he looked suspicious. No crime had been committed. No crime had been alleged by anyone to have been committed. Yet Paul was almost immediately seized and threatened with being tased and bitten by a police K9. In the end, he was taken to jail, despite the fact that Officer Rippeon was fully aware that Paul was a store employee waiting for a Lyft driver. It’s now been 9 months and I have all the updates for you, straight from Paul’s lawyer.

Do you think the City of Edgewater will do the right thing?
That officers entire story was a lie .
Sic Semper Tyrannis
I want the people that watch your show to understand how the higher ups are the systemic problem
that cop #LIED HIS ASS OFF.
When are we going to have better regulations and enforcement on the misuse of tasers to seek compliance without resistance? These weapons are supposed to be used for defense. Severe misuse. I see a lot
Sometimes when you give a badge to a person that person can get all puffed up with himself.
Lethal force by the victim would have been morally justified.
POS cop he never needs to be a cop again not even a security guard get rid of qualified immunity now so tax payers never pay for the lawsuits they get
There is only one way to get justice when a cop is a criminal.
Telling the other cop “oh, I saw him trying to hide behind a poleâ€, etc; so many lies, when it’s all on video. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cop had watched the manager leave and then approached Paul when he knew nobody could stop him from this egregious violation of Paul’s rights.

roid testing mandate for police
Is the officer slurring his words a bit while giving his supervisor his bogus version of the arrest?
I can't believe the supervisor was just " uh ok" . The way the officer described showed this was pretty clearly a nothing burger. This was just another " you'll do as I say even if what I say is dumb" incident. Makes me mad. Glad he has legal counsel.
Did the young man lose his job?
Cops are jokes these days
Name of the game: egocentric behavior being bigger than his ass…
using his mouth as a utensil.
See how Police can damage a perfectly innocent citizen's life without accountability. This young man got a criminal history for just sitting outside his job waiting for an Uber. Wtf
does this dogs parents know that this dog has a job for the police department?
where does the fucking dog come in as if I don't know? you let Katt Williams talk about Kevin Hart, why can't I talk about this dog?
