An Alabama pastor who was helping a neighbor by watering her roses was confronted by police after another Karen neighbor reported a suspicious person. They demanded ID and that he respect their authority. He stood up for his rights and refused to be harassed. They arrested him for obstruction. Was he required to provide ID? What is reasonable suspicion? What to know….

  1. The day of weaponizing the police against black people is coming to an end eventually it's coming sooner than you think all this calling the cops on people when you call the police 🚨🚓 you call a gun to the scene and that's about to come to an end in this country eventually Babylon will fall.

  2. I'm periodically trying to catch up on your videos, and taking in as much information as I can for general learning purposes. I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't mention that I really like your outro. Great scenery, terrific banjo music.

  3. My question as a white guy is why they haven't fired every one of these crooked cops that are bald face Liars that Pastor Jennings did not identify himself not only did he not only identify himself even told them where he lived Shame Shame Shame on crooked cops

  4. Cops are the guys that got C & D grades and were actually trying 😅. Think about that next time that cop has a comprehension problem. He is trying his best and just can't understand because he is redlinin.

  5. Normally, I absolutely agree with you, BUT jumping to the conclusion that the neighbor was "apparently a Karen" is just plain wrong on your part. This time you did as many of the misinformed cops do on your channel and jump to a false conclusion despite the facts! The neighbor was looking out for her neighbor just as the pastor was and even admitted that it was her fault (unlike most Karens)! The pastor said the same thing himself and commended her for doing so, citing that she did nothing wrong. He wasn't even mad about the police coming out, as this was their duty to do so. What he was mad about, as we all are, is how the police conducted themselves after they arrived! You owe this "Karen" an apology!

  6. I've seen the body cam video from this incident before. The cops were acting like complete morons, he gave them his name, pointed at his home across the street, was doing nothing but watering the flowers, hell… one of the cops even told him he could keep watering the flowers as they talked! Like often happens, even after identifying himself, the cop started in on that "I need to see your I.D.!" BS and that is what lead to the arrest. Total violation of that man's rights. Even the lady that called tried to get them to leave him alone, and they ignored her.

  7. Childersburg and Harpersville used to run a debtors prison until they got smacked down by the Circuit Court and district court. Look it up. It’ll make you sick.

  8. Sill – uh – cogga. It's a southern thing, normal pronunciations don't apply down here. We have a town named "Arab", which any casually literate person would pronounce, well, as in like referring to a denizen of the Middle East. But no, it's pronounced with a long "a", then like the "rabb" in rabbit. We here southern folk got our own dang language rules, y'all. Ifn y'all don't cotton to it, jez stay over yonder.
