22 year-old Paul was sitting outside the CVS store where he works in Edgewater, FL, sitting on a bench waiting for a ride using the Lyft app. Edgewater Police Department Officer Daniel 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. 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.

I hope this cop dies in the line of duty!
So why don't f**** cough even bother in him?That's why people shoot cops.Bricks like that deserve to get shot.Somebody do the world of favor shoot this mother, f**** stink, dumb nazi baloney.F*** head do that to me cop.I would smoke you take your gun a win.Bitch slap you with it
And yet, if you harassed a cop like this outside of their place of employment, you would be the one charged with a crime.
Now days police are more dangerous than criminals 😅
I honestly cannot continue to watch this channel as I am sick and tired of hearing of these atrocities with zero legal consequences or punishment resulting at the end. I am becoming so angry
New subscriber
Another 🐖 at work. This As Hole is a danger to society.
If this cop is still on the force ANYWHERE in America that is a slap in the face of “justice”
You have a truly great channel, sir. Thank you for what you do.
if we had a federal government that cared they would be prosecuting this cop.
Edgewater FL, Color me surprised.
Since when did the US become a Police State where it's illegal to even exist? Was it Dony Mussolini?
I hope Paul files a lawsuit,and gets a nice settlement this psycho (tyrant)cop is out of control!!!!!!!!
What was the "muh guns" thing about? The end of the video totally turned me off to this law boy.
Cops like this eff it up for good cops. Why on earth would you trust the police if you have this type of interaction with them.
The cop broke so many laws. He should go to jail!
This moron cop sounds so stupid!
I’d like to place a bet that the cop just found out his old lady been getting smashed by Tyrone 😂
This was an egregious abuse of power! These rookies really NEED to study the Constitution, and BASIC laws !
Why am I being arrested? Resisting arrest. What crime did I commit for you to arrest me? Resisting Arrest. So you arrested me for resisting arrest but what crime did I commit that authorized you arrest me in the first place? SHUT UP AND DO WHAT I SAY. Welcom to Tump's Murica

After this he wont need a lyft any longer because from his payout he will be able to buy a car.
10:49 at this point ied take the taze then the cop must do use of force report which will highlight the lack of a crime
Another example of an unstable bully with a badge and a gun who does not have the character or temperament to be a police officer. He is an emotionally weak loser with authoritarian issues. He is not competent enough to be a police officer which is an honorable profession that is topically done by exceptional people who serve their community and not this idiot who victimizes his community.
ur civilians are dumb enough to not held your goverment liable. force yur gverment to make new laws that have narcicist, phycopath and drugs exams. if theyr positive instant reject from the job. narcicist, phycopathlove jobs like police. teacher and goverments jobs where power are really high. im telling you all narcicist, phycopath are swarming in the police force and schools in your country. if this was in philippines these narcicist, phycopath already be persecute by the country citizens. thats the difference of your country and others
A feral hog. Too bad this isn't Texas.
This couldn’t be dumber. God god!
Apparently, sitting on a bench is illegal.
