all you know is that we're the police and what do you do when the police contact you exactly what they say when they say it how they say it correct yes or no yeah but no no no no no but shut up I'm talking don't talk when I'm talking it's rude and impolite it shows that your mother didn't do her job and raised you poorly okay he's a suspicious person in a suspicious place at a suspicious time he knew we were the police but he still didn't want to cooperate with us we're the police you got to listen to us for whatever reason you chose today to make your stand well you chose it with the San Antonio Police Department and we're the wrong dep to take a stand against I really want to take him to jail Carl in 2018 a San Antonio police officer was driving down the highway when he saw a truck pulled off to the side of the road with the driver sleeping inside there was no traffic violation nor is a truck pulled over with the driver sleeping Reasonable articulable Suspicion of a crime therefore there is no lawful right by police to detain this man but the detective in plain clothes on an unmarked truck calls for backup which is when Michael Thornton of the San Antonio Police Department arrives in his marked car officer Thornton and his partner in plain clothes shine lights at the truck Point guns and start yelling as you can see there's no red and blue flashing lights and no Sirens just a couple of men pointing guns and yelling while flashing a white strobe light the driver of the truck was under the impression that it was just a couple of armed thugs out to try to Rob him or cause him harm he was about to find out that he was right but as we'll see he'll be surprised surprised to find out that the armed thugs that are out to cause him harm are also police officers

understand that I am the police right yes sir then you need to come out that truck right now sir don't do that the real police come out the truck the driver of the truck calls 911 and lets them know that two armed crazy men are holding him at gunpoint and he thinks they're trying to rob him watch yourself watch yourself come out of that truck watch out Kim the car on inside of the truck is Jose Castro a commercial truck driver who's pulled over to sleep as you can see there are still no red and blue lights flashing get us Eagle get us Eagle these officers are lucky that Jose wasn't armed because any reasonable person would believe that they are being attacked by non-government armed Thugs and therefore would be justified in using deadly force San Antonio police come out of the truck is he going out the other side Texas law and government recognizes an individual's right to use deadly force against someone who unjustly threatens deadly force against you unless the person unjustly threatening deadly force against you is government in which case the government does not recognize your right to self-defense now this doesn't mean that you don't have this right it simply means that your government doesn't recognize it meaning if you exercise this right your government will either murder you or throw you in a cage for it now I have done videos showing cases where people have shot at the police and been acquitted on all charges but in every one of those instances the shooter did not know that the armed aggressors were cops they were under the impression that they were private criminals most governments in the US recognize your right to defend yourself against armed aggressors unless they are the armed aggressor what do you got call talk to meil he's on the you need to exit

now mute their body cameras while they conspire about how they can slap charges on this truck driver who was sleeping in his truck between [Music] [Applause] deliveries any doubt that we're the police now sir not sorry I didn't think so shouldn't have been any doubt when I was ordering you out of the vehicle huh why didn't you come out of the truck okay but when I woke you up you you were able to make a phone call shut up I'm talking don't talk when I'm talking it's rude and impolite it shows that your mother didn't do her job and raised you poorly okay I'm okay I I I stop it just a little bit because I got to [Music] sleep you need to understand you were asleep fine can I talk will you shut up so I can talk I've asked you nicely now I'm ordering you shut up so I can talk to you sir communication is a two-way street okay you talk I listen I talk you listen you got that yes sir thank you okay when I when we pulled up who's call I turned on the red and blue lights I was on the PA you saw my partner in his badge and his vest there should have been no doubt after you were awake and conscious and looking around okay there's red and blue police lights you stuck your head out and looked at me I am in full police uniform with patches you have a CDL sir you never never police uh uh I identified myself numerous times when I got you're parked in the bushes what do you expect with the door open we think it's a stolen truck you understand a normal spot listen the the the air because I need air that's why okay we're not telling you that we're saying that when we drive up here and we see a truck parked in the bushes with the door open obviously it's going to be susp obviously it's going to be suspicious to us oh he's speaking just fine he is listen he just has a problem listening he doesn't want to listen he just wants to do all the Talking we told you that we were the police you should have you have a license you should know the rules you should have exited the vehicle so that you could have told us who you were and we could have been on our way and you would be in your truck asleep the entire time I don't uh you understand just fine okay sit back okay he got a rep vehicle in the in the bushes yes okay all the time well maybe you shouldn't do that and if you need air why don't you roll the windows down you leave the door open that's it's not that's not normal behavior every day he does the same thing he says no every day over here know the same thing but I do everywhere because they coming from Dallas to San Antonio every day s i PR the police they they they hit my door they hit the door okay well I'm not going to go up and hit your door when the door's open and I don't know who's in the vehicle because I don't know what's going on here I saw okay and once you realized it was the police cuz you can lie to me all day long sir but once I turned the red and blue lights on and was on the microphone ordering you out of the vehicle yes yes you're saying I didn't do that you're saying that the the red and blue lights are on that are on right now on this police car weren't on now I'm starting to think maybe I need to evaluate your CDL for maybe you need a medical evaluation for your CDL maybe you don't need to be driving need that if your memory is that poor sir lot if you need to be quiet again sir when I'm talking good Lord you can't hear me when I'm [Applause] talking okay you never sleeping uh somebody wake up like that it's it's horrible okay you're in the bushes in a truck you're not in your house in a bed you're in the bushes in a truck as soon as you actually woke up you should have realized what was going on and then once we approached you and there was three police officers next to you you wanted to continue to grab and fight you're scaring me for sure sir we had been out here for 10 minutes but that point you were fully conscious at that point okay you knew what you were doing was wrong for whatever reason you chose today to make your stand well you chose it with the San Antonio Police Department and we're the wrong Department to take a stand against all the officers mute their body cameras again they spend almost an hour with all body cams muted searching his truck trying to find something illegal that he might have done after coming up with absolutely nothing officer Michael Thornton calls the district attorney to ask if they'll take charges on this guy for resisting with no other charges one of our detectives comes across a box truck like a rental box truck from Enterprise one of the big ones parked out behind some bushes off on a little Private Drive that goes to nothing off of the the main road right he pulls in sees that the driver door is open okay doesn't approach calls for us cuz we're in uniform we're in a market control car we roll up we start walking up and I say hey you know what let's see if somebody's in there let's call out maybe somebody's in there they'll come out so we don't you know get ambushed so call her out hey you in the vehicle show me your hands come out somebody answers up so now we know there's for sure somebody in the truck right Spanish Spanish English so I order him out in Spanish he keeps yelling no no no I'm not doing anything no no no then he start saying that we're not the police right so I go back to the patrol car activate all the red and blue lights I have on my police car get on the PA system San Antonio police you need to come out of the car the detective has gone around the side of the truck clearly visible to the AP shows him his badge vest police on his vest okay clearly we're the police okay another officer gets here oh he's making a phone call he's calling uh 911 911 is telling him those are the police you need to get out of the truck okay still not getting out of the truck we get another officer here we go to approach the truck at this point and he's poked his head out a few times and made eye contact with me he knew I was the police I have no doubt in my mind he knows I'm the police tell him hey get out of the truck he says no no no no no he's not getting out of the truck okay immediately we grab on to him he starts grab oh and at one point when we were ordering out of the truck he turns the vehicle on like he's going to drive away so we all pull way back cuz we don't want to get ran over by this big truck uh I get the truck turned off we get him out um he's still not putting his hands behind his back still not complying with orders um clearly we're the police there's a bunch of us here by this point um So eventually we end up taking them to the ground and getting him handcuffed okay now he he says that he's here doing deliveries from Dallas he has a CDL commercial driver's license so he knows what to do when he's stopped by the police okay uh but we don't have anything besides the resisting search on him would you take that we're being told that you wouldn't take a just a straight resisting search without an actual [Music] charge he's a suspicious person in a suspicious place at a suspicious time in a known area where safe burglaries and ATM burglaries are happening and one of the things is they use these big rental trucks trucks to haul the ATMs out here to these places out of sight to break into them after they steal [Applause] them okay that's fine with me I mean I really don't feel like taking this guy to jail he's just an idiot and I think he was he knew we were the police but he still didn't want to cooperate with us I can yeah but he's there's no resisting detention that's my problem so I think we'll just SP him and then we'll just kick him loose the only thing is because we had to take him to the ground and if we would have got to the truck if if we when we were at the the door of the truck we didn't immediately grab onto him and try to yank him we're like hey dude come out of the truck and he still didn't come out of the truck we're the police you got to listen to us going a truck tell them to cancel it they just canel me right now you okay we will SP him and file it at large and see what happens all right yeah thanks for all your help thanks bye so she was she said that we don't have PC to search him we don't have PC to search somebody that's in a suspicious place at night I said suspicious person suspicious place in a suspicious time in an area where the mo for the burgers is to use big box trucks to take ATMs and other safes and then go out to these abandoned places what did we just recover the other safes from from the the other ATMs out here same thing right they were in a stolen truck told her all of that now he didn't just going cuz he's got Noah looking at it he just looks like he was pushing y away he didn't go no he didn't like try to kill us but he did grab back on I he grabbed onto the wheel okay is he all we got to make sure he's coherent enough to yeah to operate if he is I mean he told me I was out I was out and then we can cover ourselves with that and I agree that he was out for about maybe the first minute we were out here for a while but we were out here for a long time and the fact that he got he was coherent enough to dial 911 and talk to them and talk to them and the 911 operator is telling him sir they are the police you need to get out of the truck and he's still not and then I was cool all the way up to the point where we approached the truck and me and King and Kim are standing there in front of him understand been Justified to quote unquote shoot the guy right so if we would be justified to do that then we are in the right place at the right time doing a lawful Duty how can we not book him I go with that as long as you call Da that's the on who's going to put in there like that for me please I will because I don't want want this guy coming back and suing anybody that's my thing is what's the rule they go use of force they got to go to jail or the hospital for Ed or but if you ask pm and you still file it and then it's on them not on us you know what so I will leave a copy on your desk and we will file it at large no you know what we could do and it's going to be up to the sarge there you can go to the judge you don't have to go to the DA so now that they've been told by the da that everything they did here was completely wrong they're still trying to fabricate false charges on this guy in order to justify their unlawful use of force against him in other words they now realize they never had Reasonable articulable Suspicion or probable cause to make an arrest meaning they never had the lawful right to put their hands on him at all but they did and they roughed him up pretty bad the officer had forgotten to mute his body cam at the beginning of this conversation but now you can see exactly why cops mute their body cams this is why it should be illegal for officer to ever mute or turn off their body cam when they're on a scene at all this is exactly what criminal conspiracy to violate rights looks like these cops committed crimes but the only thing that's going to happen is a lawsuit in which the taxpayers are going to pay out now 6 years later this lawsuit is in the fifth Circuit of appeals but none of these officers have faced criminal charges for their criminal conspiracy to violate rights come here sir you want to go to jail today huh do you want to go to jail or do you want to go about your day in your life you're the boss I you're the boss I can't do nothing sir you you you do whatever what you want I do my job it's not what I want I'm doing my job you want to talk about doing jobs I was doing my job protecting the citizens of San Antonio and their property tonight apiz for May got an address a lot but uh what I do is my job deliver is that's what I do uhhuh and what's my job I I understand that the other police say he say you looking for somebody but I don't know you don't know right you don't know all you know is that we're the police and what do you do when the police contact you exactly what they say when they say it how they say it correct yes or no yeah but no no no no but it's a yes or no you're talking yourself into going to jail got SC I got scared when somebody when somebody got a gun with like that you know it's scary you didn't know I had a gun I saw so you saw that I had a gun and I was the police I saw I saw another side somebody shooting it because they want to shot nobody shoot nobody shot anything no guns were fired out here apologizing for that but I told you when never never police do that never never how many times have you encountered police in this situation with your door open I can never never I I I can't do you never encountered the police like this have you I tell you the truth never never do anybody do it anybody anybody I really want to take him to jail Carl no listen I apologize Jud God BL you because because you do your job buddy God God believe you okay B and just make sure he knows that my real problem is when that there's three policemen at his door he still won't come out of the damn truck I don't understand what he didn't understand about that part of it told what to do before you ever saw a gun don't give me that crap okay there's a case that's going to be filed on you most likely so if I were you I'd start trying to brush up on your law because we're also going to contact the DPS about your your uh commercial driver's license you understand that there's a chance that your license you're held to a higher standard than most people you have a we have his license yeah I got all this stuff come over here sir I don't like this I don't like this at all even after being told by the da that they were completely and totally wrong they bully him threaten him and even threaten to take away his CDL his livelihood when we talk about holding police accountable people say that we can't just destroy an officer's life over one mistake and yet these officers are willing to completely destroy someone else's life and take away their livelihood over their own mistakes Jose Castro filed a lawsuit against four of the off officers involved in this incident including the plane closed detective that first showed up and Michael Thornton the one whose body camera we watched here the officers filed a motion for qualified immunity in the case meaning they aren't saying that they're wrong they're just saying that there's no way they could have known that they were wrong or in other words they're ignorant and therefore shouldn't be held accountable the thing about qualified immunity though is that it applies to civil lawsuits civil cases not criminal cases and in civil cases police aren't held accountable the taxpayer is held accountable for the police officer's actions when the victim is either given a settlement or the jury Awards them something here's what I mean when you file a lawsuit against a government employee or official for violating your civil rights under color of law it's filed under 42 USC 1983 this is the civil code for violation of Rights meaning the code under which you can file a civil lawsuit but there's a Code under criminal law for the exact same violation under 18 USC 242 violating someone's rights under color of law is a criminal act but we rarely see any public officials charged under this statute one that just about everybody knows about is Derek shavan the officer who killed George Floyd and there are others there are two sheriffs both with Rio arba County New Mexico who have been charged and convicted under this in just the last decade but when you realize that this should be applied every single time an officer violates someone's rights you realize it's not being utilized nearly enough and as far as I can see all the lawsuits in the world making the taxpayer pay out for police crimes will never stop police crime why would it there's no personal accountability for their actions but I do believe that if police realize that they're going to start being thrown in prison for committing crimes they might stop committing these crimes and even if they don't it doesn't really matter they can commit crimes against each other in prison we don't need to lobby for any new laws or come up with any new novel ideas to hold police accountable we simply need to start putting criminals in prison where criminals belong I really want to take him to jail Carl I really want to take him to jail Carl
