They told me to leave as he’s leaving they say stay then tell him to get out the car while they’re holding his arms lmao these cops don’t even know what they want smh
LEAVE. Leaves* STOP THE FING CAR
These fools have never been beaten up and it shows, they think they're above everyone else, it's sickening that they are still alive.
Two Officers Screaming at the Man und tell him different commands every second. Crazy.
This guy deserves millions of dollars from the city and these violent disgraceful cops need to go to jail. What a disgrace and you wonder why people are in fear of the police this is over what waiting for his son at a traffic stop you’ve got to be kidding me
This is over the top excessive police force
I think everyone was a jerk in this case.
To be fair he was non compliant and wouldn’t get out of his car and the police car. At the same time, the cop told him to leave and then immediately told him to stop but he should have complied and fought them in court and won his case.
Crazy things always happen in Fargo😂
Power trip filth
Yelling get out of the car as your twisting his arm out of the window to where he can’t move to get out of the vehicle
It's never gonna stop until you make them stop.
He DID NOT TRY TO RUN THAT OFFICER OVER
I hope a lawsuit was filed
Oh look two angry minorities with a badge abusing people what a surprise.
Entitled piece of crap
Colorado sheriff's office settles for $1.5M in tasing lawsuit: "If the sheriff won't hold you accountable, we will"
And police wonder why no one likes them
This guy just got rich off his neighborhood taxes
Leave, leave, leave!! No stay! Spoken like a true b**
Leave, leave, leave!! No stay! Spoken like a true b**
The only question the attorney representing the sheriff's dept. needs to ask is: What's the first number on the check and how many zeroes do you want behind it?
More usual suspects lying
Both of them should be doing life in prison. Absolute slimebags.
😂 costs them 1.5 million 😂😂
I get pulled over all the time. If you do what they say it goes way easier. When they said "leave" I would have left and got to go on my way right after.
he told him to leave
Bet those cops when home to their wife's maybe boy friends and say baby I almost died today
Danggone!
At what point does the right to self-protection kick in?
Ya’ll clearly escalated that. You told him to leave now he’s getting arrested
Cops are 🤡.
those officers are known wife beaters. Shame on them!!
When does self defense start applying to officers like this I’m genuinely curious?
Officer "I brake checked you and you got closer, why did that happen?"
If the color of his skin was different there would be protest and riots, and it would be all over the media for months.
THIS INFURIATES ME. HOW DARE THESE COPS ACT THIS WAY. Absolutely DISGUSTING. If this were my dad. Oh boy.
Simon didn't say!…lol…
"Leave, leave, STAY STAY!"…😂
Those cops suck at being cops
CRIMINALS BEHIND BADGES
He must've gotten a decent payday off of these incompetent amateurs.
Did u miss the part when he said leave
Power and authority seems to bring out the worst in police. They seem to forget they’re paid by the people for the people
Those are some real tough guy cops!
Hard to charge someone with resisting arrest when there was no reason to arrest them to begin with. This is probably one of the most disgraceful abuses of power I’ve seen yet on the tube.
If you listen you wouldn’t get manhandled lol you told him go go go then stop stop stop if you don’t know what you expect someone to do how are they supposed to know what you want
They told him to leave! What's wrong with those cops?
George Floyd was treated like royalty compared to how these cops treated this man.
Why aren't these cops arrested for perjury? How are they allowed to stay cops? This is insanity that this is allowed to happen & cops just get away with it because they have qualified immunity. Sad
