All right. >> I ain't touching you. I'm touching the wholeing out pit. >> Okay. It's not going to happen. Get your dog and get out. Is this your dog here? >> No, it ain't my dog. >> Okay, then get your dog and get out. >> I'm trying to find my dog. >> You're sitting here arguing with me not getting your dog. >> Move. I got to get leash. >> Get your dog. >> I got to get a goddamn leash. >> Get your dog. >> What's that? An elderly man, a court-ordered eviction, officers with a legal mandate to remove him. What happens next raises questions every citizen should understand. Officers are executing a rid of possession, a court order transferring property control to a new owner. Notice was issued January 12th, 2 months prior. Legally sufficient. Once that notice period expires, any remaining occupant is trespassing. Officers hold full legal authority to remove and to arrest anyone who refuses. >> All right, >> I'm trying. >> It's over. Everybody's out. So, all right. Gave you a little bit of extra time because we had stuff going on. How would you like it to come to your house? >> Well, I I I'm not >> I'm not in your position. I don't know what led up to this, but >> you right now. >> Yep. So, have everybody come out. It's We're getting ready to go in after that and make sure everybody's out and anybody that's not out be arrested. >> What's that? >> I don't >> I don't either. I put them in the vehicle and take them with you. So, so go ahead and do that. Everybody's coming out. You don't need to go back in. So, just wait here. >> What's that? >> I just bought that car and the tools are in there. Um, can I have >> You can make you can get with Charlie and he can get the property owner, the new property owner and see if you can make arrangements to get it. I can't tell you that he will or it won't, but you can work with him, but >> here in a minute everybody's off the property and can't come back until >> I have permission. What's your name? >> Huh? >> What's your name? >> Oh, Robert Stevens. I don't live here. I was just helping people. >> Yep. >> You know, moving everything for help. >> He's going to know what the name of the >> He's got the paperwork. >> They're all a little bit They're not You know what I'm saying? He doesn't know what the [ __ ] going on. >> Okay. Yep. They've got the paperwork on it. >> So, I'll be able to help with that. >> Nobody came out with you. Need everybody out. Okay. >> I I'm trying. >> No, you're not trying. Tell them to come out. work. >> He said come out right now. >> Yep. Come on out. >> All right. They cut out in front of her. >> Arabel that's inside needs to come out. >> No, you're getting ready to be on my time. Okay. So, You guys have had since January 12th to get out. It ain't happening like that. So get out or you're going to be arrested for trespassing because the eviction's up. >> I didn't know nothing. My mom's still in here. Can I get have you? >> No. No. You had two months. >> I didn't know that. >> All right. Well, it's not my my issue. >> What's that? >> I'm not kissing anybody's ass. I'm telling you how it's going to be. You're going to get arrested if you remain in the house. >> What's that? Shut the up. >> I could not come out. >> She's my wife. >> Okay. >> It's the man that's whoever the guy is. Is the one >> guy? Oh, that's my wife. >> He's okay. So, he Anybody else in here? You the last two. I'm I'm just two more things. I'm sorry. I was at work. >> You can get the dogs and that's it. >> Dogs and cats. >> Cat. Whatever. Yeah. >> Not coming back in this way. >> I got to get my cat. >> Huh? >> My cat. >> Cat. >> It's just on the porch. I can get it, right? >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah, she was at work when y'all showed up the first time. >> Yeah, but they've known for two months. So, >> they're all they check. They don't know what two of them have eat. They can't get what I'm saying. They can't. >> Is that the only cat you have? >> No, I've got two. >> Two. Okay. >> Is that one of the cats there? >> Is it white? >> White with yellow and black? >> Yeah. I got a yellow one somewhere. White and yellow >> and elderly. That's That's just crazy how they can do that. >> I'm not going back in. >> Got to go get my dog, dumb ass. >> The subject directs profane language at officers throughout under City of Houston versus Hill decided by the Supreme Court in 1987. Verbal insults directed at police are first amendment protected speech. Profanity alone cannot justify an arrest. You dumb ass mother [ __ ] stupid ass. >> Come on. No. Come on. Come on. >> 10 minutes. >> I got to get my dog. >> There was a dog that came out already. >> Yeah. [ __ ] down all tables and fire. >> Listen, sir. >> Huh? >> Damn dog. You're not going to sit here and cuss me. All right. >> I ain't cussing you. I'm touching the wholeing outfit. [clears throat] >> Okay. It's not going to happen. Get your dog and get out. Is this your dog here? >> No, it ain't my dog. >> Okay, then get your dog and get out. >> I'm trying to find my dog. >> You're sitting here arguing with me not getting your dog. >> Move. I got to get leash. >> Get your dog. >> I got to get a goddamn leaf. >> Get your dog. >> What's that? >> Cuz I am getting >> No, you're not. >> I got arguing with me. Get your dog and get out. >> Shut the up and get the hell out. >> You're the one still running your mouth. >> Stop it. >> Here's your leash. >> My leash. >> It's going to work. Here you go. Stay up. >> Put that on your >> Where's the cat? She's in here. She's kind of got an attitude. I don't know where she's at. >> Oh [ __ ] Sorry. [snorts] >> There's one up here in the window. >> Yeah. >> Come here, baby. in here. >> What's this guy's name? >> Huh? >> What's his name? >> Who? >> The one that's still in here. >> Uh I I don't know who who's in here. There's Lee. >> Lee. Okay. >> No, no, baby. I got I do got to come back in and get have a goddamn hard night. I all you mother. Come on. >> One dog left. >> Do you still have a dog of your own? >> Yeah. >> Back there in the back room. >> I want you to bite these dumb son of a [ __ ] when you go by him. >> He took the leash. I don't know where he >> leash over here. >> [ __ ] took it. I don't know. >> I hope you die >> right there on top of that. >> Can't see it coming from outside. Hope you all have just hit my head on. So, I got to get my medicine. But if you ain't going to help me back in, I'll sue you back. Sue me. I get sued all the time. I'm not worried about it. So this time please my family >> you're not helping anything. >> Come on. Push down some behind me. Think you got bad boss people around. >> It's called the judge's order. >> That's our job is to boss people around. >> Yeah. It's called the judge order. >> Get out of the way so I can leave. No, you're just going to go walk out. >> Get your dog and go. >> Get your dog. >> I'm getting my [ __ ] >> You're sitting here arguing. Go. >> You're going to get arrested is what's going to happen. >> I've been arrested before I go. >> Are you going to leave? >> After I get my [ __ ] >> Go. >> Push me. >> At the 6-minute mark, the subject states he hopes to have a heart attack and die. Crisis intervention team protocol requires officers to pause enforcement and assess mental state when a subject makes statements of this nature. That does not happen here. The arrest is preceded by one phrase, quote, push me, I got it. End quote. Under Graham versus Connor, the Supreme Court's 1989 controlling standard, force must be reasonable from the officer's perspective at the moment of decision. That phrase puts the initiation of force in legal question. Graham's three-factor test weighs the severity of the crime, the immediacy of the threat, and whether the subject was actively resisting. Trespass is nonviolent. The subject is elderly and unarmed. Verbal argument is not physical resistance. Force used here sits at the outer edge of what courts would find defensible. During restraint, the subject says, quote, "I can't breathe." End quote. Following the Garner litigation, officers are trained to treat that statement as a medical indicator. No response occurs on camera. Handcuffs are reported too tight. No fit check is performed. Both are protocol failures. Your other arm. Give me your other arm. I can't breathe. Got it. >> [snorts] >> Stop. All right. Stop. Son of a Look at these big heavy son of a do long run. That's the way they always do. [ __ ] your ass. Have anything on you? Stop. You >> do. You have anything on you? I got [ __ ] on me. Don't throw my [ __ ] down. They're killing my ass. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I'm good. >> Quit filming, you dumb mother. >> Have a seat. Have a seat. You going to kick me again? >> Don't kick me. You understand? You goddamn mother. Oh, god damn it. God damn it. My goddamn worm. >> Did you loosen the co stuff? >> They're properly fit. >> They are not properly fit. I do cut into my goddamn rest. Put your foot in there. >> Cut. I ain't going to put my foot in there. >> Stop. >> Stop. Stop. >> [cough] >> did good though. That was way to deescalate. That was good. >> You guys are good. >> You want to take his stuff you said or just fine with that? >> Okay. Does he have some medication in there somewhere? >> Yeah. >> Where's your medicine at that you want? >> Yeah. Take me county. We will here in a minute. >> Now, >> what medicine do you want? >> Yeah, I ain't going to tell you. >> It's fine by me. You're the one that needs it, not me. >> I'll die and then my family will see you counting >> cuz you refused to take your medicine. Good luck with that, >> boy. Boy, >> he said you did. >> You called that one. Cigarettes. I thought they was test strips. So, okay. Appreciate it. Like we said, just get with the property owners, see if you can get up, >> make arrangements, get the rest of it. trying to get time to get in. >> That's fine. Just don't go back in. Okay. >> Okay. No problem. >> Boys, boys. >> Yeah. When we get there, tell the sheriff I'm on top train cuz you're sucker. That's why you back. >> Like I said, I hope both your houses blow up with in it. Step up. >> No. Can I step up? >> No. >> The subject faces two charges: trespassing and resisting arrest. The trespass charge holds. The writ was valid and notice was served. The resisting arrest charge is more vulnerable. Verbal non-compliance alone does not satisfy. The force element that most jurisdictions require to sustain that charge. Lead officer receives a grade of C. The authority to arrest was lawful. The execution was not. Escalatory communication, a contested force initiation, and a missed crisis intervention are not offset by a valid court order. The subject receives a grade of B. First amendment rights were exercised, no weapons were introduced, and core compliance was eventually achieved, but verbal escalation built the conditions for his own arrest. The right to speak does not always protect the person speaking. The department receives a grade of C++. Procedurally sound, tactically undertrained, civil enforcement involving elderly or emotionally vulnerable subjects demands crisis competency. That preparation was absent here. Three takeaways. A court order authorizes entry. It does not authorize any level of force. How a lawful arrest begins determines whether the force used is constitutional. and statements of distress are legal triggers, not background noise.
