IC and I feel like hers is just recently
kicking in and
I've been I work in the field so I've
been trying to maintain it.
Well, I think she needs more help than
what you can give
[Music]
her. We'll be four. We go check on
him. And that's what I did. And hey
guys,
Jesus for us. What's going on?
[Music]
Right. So today's video is one of
probably one of the most frustrating
calls for service I have ever
experienced during my 14 years as a
police officer for the Columbus Division
of Police. Uh this is a call that while
some of the elements of it are very
common, this is a very extreme version
of it where we show up on a call,
especially like a mental health call
where someone's in mental health crisis
and the family members are actually the
ones making the situation worse and if
maybe they weren't doing what it is that
they were doing, the person experiencing
mental health crisis might not have been
in such a bad position. Uh that's
exactly what's going to happen here to
the extent that we were actually forced
to arrest our caller who was trying to
get her sister some help, but she acted
out so bad during this encounter that we
end up having to arrest her. And you'll
see that towards the end of the video.
Uh but this particular call for service
begins. Like I already mentioned, the
sister calls, says that my younger
sister, Precious, is having a mental
health episode. I need you guys to come
and and pink slip her, which is take her
to the hospital on an involuntary hold.
Uh, as I walk up to the house, the first
thing that I see as I'm looking in the
window is, uh, I see one sister sitting
on the couch uh, with another sister on
the floor. The one on the couch has her
legs wrapped around her sister on the
floor. The one that's sitting on the
floor is screaming a bunch of nonsense
about being uh, the light in the
darkness and trying to say something
from the Bible, but it wasn't quite
there. If you look through the rest of
the house, you also see that the front
room has been destroyed. The the coffee
table was broken. There's lamps and just
stuff is all over the place. You can
tell there was some kind of giant fight.
So, we're going to pick up right after
that when I get the older sister out of
the porch and ask her what's going on
and offer get her some help.
I'm going to do my
[Music]
um you generally can't visit people when
they're pink slipped, but if she gets
admitted to like a long-term facility,
then they'll let you visit her there. I
didn't want to call you guys because I
was just like my sister.
Well, no. If she needs help, if she
needs help, we'll get her help. Okay.
I don't know.
Has she ever done this before?
She hasn't slept in like 5 days. So, I
feel like she's You think she got on
drugs? No, she's not on drugs. I feel
like cuz she hasn't slept in 5 days,
she's becoming
like she's scared of her home. She feel
like it's like demons and spirits. She
lives up north in Worthington and she
feels like
she feel like it's spirits and stuff
like that. Like
stuff taking over her homes and she want
to be home. So I brought her here
yesterday and it's been this. Well, it
sounds like schizophrenia to me. Okay.
My mom is a paranoid schizophrenic.
Okay.
Her name is P R E C.
But it just started happening like
My mom is getting paranoid.
She has bipolar.
She has bipolar schizophrenic and I feel
like hers is just recently kicking in
and
I've been I work in the field so I've
been trying to maintain it for the last
two days. Well, I think she she needs
more help than what you can give her.
No, she's a zombie for me for all my
life. See, I can't get her out of sleep.
Well, they can they can help her at
least get back to normal, right? She
needs a reset.
They can help her do that. And then, you
know, they can talk about medication.
Was she like fighting against you or
just
We started fighting cuz I was like
telling her like stop no you don't have
to do this you don't have to do this and
then she's trying to fight me I was like
put her in the restraint cuz my job I
have the training for that so I put her
in restraint and then we broke
everything and I restrained her like
when you walked in I had her but before
I had her like her arms up I had her
like restrained but I let her go cuz
she's like I'm
okay it's me I'm okay. She'd been
singing like this like for a long time.
She that right when I got here. When you
got here, I had her in my legs like
No, she does this at night. I've done
this twice.
We will. Where's her? Do you have some
shoes and stuff? Why don't you grab
shoes and a jacket or something?
Just go grab that stuff.
[Music]
Sierra Lead Davis Brandon. Precious.
Whoa. Stay here. Stay down. No. Stop.
No. Just turn around. I got her. I got
her. I got her. She can come. She can
She can come. She can She can walk. No.
Let her go. Let her go. She can do it.
She can. No. Stop. Get off of me. She
can do it. No. She can let her go. Let
her go. So, the first part went really
smoothly. After here, you're going to
see basically all hell is about to break
loose. You know, the sister was on her
way upstairs to get uh a jacket and some
shoes for Precious. When she ran up the
stairs, Precious kind of snapped out of
whatever was going on, wanted to be with
her sister, and ran to her. Um, I knew
for a fact that we were going to have to
do an emergency uh medical or mental
health transport on Precious. Um, I
didn't want her to go upstairs. I didn't
want her to go upstairs and destroy more
stuff and have her and her sister have a
confrontation. I also didn't want her to
be upstairs and if she was not going to
willingly be transported by us, I didn't
want to have to carry her back down the
stairs. So, I ran over to Precious and
trying to be as gently as possible
without putting my hands on her was just
like, "No, no, no, no, no. Let's let's
stay here." When I do that, the sister
comes running down the stairs and all
hell is going to break loose because
even though she was probably the one
that got this situation to explode,
she's angry with me for the way I am
dealing with it. And we're going to see
a piece of that right now. Help. You
have to let me. No, let her go. Okay.
I'm not going to sit here with you all
night and go. No, you can't do that.
Police kill people. You got to
understand. You got You got to
understand that I know this job. Okay. I
know what I'm doing and what you're
doing right now. You called me for help.
I'm trying to help and you're getting in
the middle. Okay. If you want me to
leave her here like this, then I will do
that. Okay. If you want me to do my job,
let me do my job. So aggressive. Was I
being aggressive when I got here? No. So
when I tried to do my job and you got
here and tried to tell me what to do,
your
brother listen.
I'm trying to help you. You can't do
this to you. If you want me to do my
job, you have to let me do my job.
You're not doing that right now. Go
ahead and grab her shoes and stuff. I'll
take her with me. You've already proven
that you're not capable of doing that.
Yes, I can drive her. She's going to
listen to me. I can take her. You're
being very like you were helping me at
first, but when I go to get her
something, you can't I'm not going to
let you understand. Once you had a
brother killed from a [ __ ] police
officer, you got to know that is it's
scary. This is scary. Help. I will do
that.
The only way I can get her pig slipped
is if I call the police. That's the only
reason why I called you. Okay. Well, I'm
going
to take care of that. We need to get her
shoes and a jacket and we'll get her to
do that.
We're not going to have her running
around the house crazy. No. So, I went
upstairs. She follow me. But I don't
want like I I don't want something to
happen when you get upstairs. You've
already had Okay, listen. You've already
had your house destroyed. That's okay. I
don't care. That's my sister. But
listen, it doesn't work. I understand.
her shoes.
We're going to keep you guys separated.
She'll be fine. She's not going to let
me. She's not going. That's what I'm
saying. I wanted to. What you're saying
is that you're not letting me do what
I'm trying to do. Okay, you can leave.
No, I can't now. I can't leave now. You
can leave. No, I can't. Why not? Because
of what she's doing. Okay. I'm going to
take her to get help.
I'll do it all myself. No, you can't.
Why you can't? Because I'm here now and
I have a responsibility to take care of
them. So you can kill us both. No one's
killing anybody. You're not going to
kill us. I'm not going to kill them.
Both of us.
[Music]
Shut
up. Shut up. What's your name?
So, I know that it's a little bit hard
to see cuz it's so dark in this room,
but if you weren't able to tell, the
older sister standing in front of
Precious, Precious, actually started
elbowing her. She's screaming at her and
elbowing her. And you got Precious in
the back having a complete mental
breakdown. Uh, this is the part where we
knew we had to get these people
separated and we had to get more
officers on scene. Um, I know that the
way we go about the next few minutes is
going to get a lot of criticism from
people on the internet because of course
everyone on the internet knows how to do
the job better than the officers that
are at scene. That's one thing and I've
learned by being a YouTuber for the last
5 years. But we get these two separated
and you know I'm very very patient with
the older sister doing everything that I
can to avoid putting my hands on her.
The main reason I'm trying to avoid
putting my hands on her is because
there's only two of us there. I've got
one that I'm dealing with. My partner
has precious that he's dealing with. If
I have to put hands on sis and take her
down to the ground and we start to have
a struggle, my partner then has to make
a decision. Is he going to come help
Officer Badger or is he going to watch
me struggle with his female while he
holds on to Precious? Or if he does come
help me, we now have Precious who is in
some kind of excited mental state. Who
knows what she is going to do? Also, who
knows what with her state of mind,
what's going to happen if she sees me,
you know, having a use of force on her
sister and that's going to put my
partner in a bad spot as well. And you
don't want to have two police officers
fighting with two people inside a
residence. You want to get a lot more
officers there. That way, you can
control the environment a lot better.
You know, you want to have at least
twoon-one if possible. That way, each
officer can grab a hold of someone's
arms. If you got a hold of someone's
arms, they're not flailing around.
You're not having excessive use of force
against them. you're not going to get
injured. That's just the way to go. So,
in this situation, it's going to look
like we don't have control, but we we're
maintaining control of the situation as
best we can without escalating it into a
use of force scenario.
Shut up. Shut the [ __ ] up.
Get the [ __ ] off. Get off me. What are
you doing? Why are you grabbing me? Shut
up.
Shut up. Why are you touching me?
[Applause]
Babe, why are you grabbing me? Why are
you grabbing me?
Relax. Babe, why are you grabbing me?
Stop yelling. I'm getting my [ __ ] Why
you grabbing me? No, I'm not. This is my
house. Okay, back. This is my house.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Why are you getting her all work up? I'm
not. You had her come and get out of my
face. I didn't put her down. I did not
put her down. You separated us. That's
why she's doing that. You separated you
were elbowing her. I told her to stop.
You were not doing this. You separated
us so Stop. I can control her. You
can't. No, you can't. You just
demonstrated to me that you cannot
control her. You can't control her. Yes,
I can. I can't look at her. You going to
do it to the both of us. You need to
separate. No. What are you? Matter of
fact, do you have a warrant? I don't
need a warrant. What's your probable
cause? I don't need probable cause. What
is your probable cause? Listen, I'm not
investigating a crime. Exactly. You
don't need No, I'm going to get her to
treatment. No, I'm going to get her
treatment. Look at her. She's not
refusing. Why are you touching me?
Because I don't want you reaching around
like that. I'm not doing I'm not
reaching around. I'm not doing [ __ ]
What are you doing, Precious? Shut up.
Stop screaming. Shut up. Stop screaming.
Precious,
you're not. That's not how you do this.
Precious,
don't shut up. Don't shut up. Shut up,
man. Separate these two. Shut up.
Precious, shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
Separate her. No, babe. No. No. I'm
trying to get her help in the [ __ ]
What the [ __ ] are you doing? Relax.
I know. I know. I don't get it. She's
she's trying to fail her. This part I
just thought it was kind of funny cuz I
am I'm doing everything I can to avoid
having use of force against this woman.
I see her boyfriend come down and I
think ah this woman has directed all of
her hate and anger towards me. Maybe if
I insert him and I stand behind him, I
will diffuse the situation. She he's her
boyfriend. She loves him. She'll calm
down. She'll listen to him. No. No. That
didn't work at all. As it turns out, a
man telling a woman to calm down doesn't
work. even if she loves him allegedly.
So, you know, honor. No, shut up.
Precious, shut up. You called him off.
Precious, shut up. Now you're going to
race her. Now you No, the [ __ ] I wasn't.
No, I wasn't. Watch out. No, I wasn't.
She was yelling. I said, "Precious, stop
being defensive. Back up. Back up. Back
up. I called you to help me, not you.
Stop that. What are you doing? I'm going
to put you in my [ __ ] That's my [ __ ]
That's my making worse. You're making
her situation worse. She is being man.
Look at it. Look at it. How making her
worse? What are you doing?
How making her worse? Look how you doing
her. I can help her. I can't help him
with that. Stop. Stop. Stop. Back up.
Precious. Stop. Precious. Stop.
Precious. Stop. Precious. Stop.
Precious. Precious. Stop. Precious.
Stop. Precious. Stop. I call for help.
This struggle when I want help.
Precious, stop. Stop. Precious. Let it
happen. I'll be here in the morning. I
love you. I love you, Precious. Stop.
Let go. Get off of me. Precious. Nah. He
ain't going to [ __ ] kill my
sister. Get the [ __ ] off me.
Why are you on
me? Why you on me?
[Music]
I like to shut
up. Shut up. Don't say nothing. I'll be
there. Don't say nothing. Don't say
nothing.
Why are you wrestling? Get the [ __ ]
bro. I swear to you, God. You ain't

down. No, you're not. You were yelling
at her and calling her name. Yes. No.
Precious. Bring your camera back. I know
a lot about the [ __ ] cuz I've been
the [ __ ] person that I've been
beat up by the cops. I've been [ __ ]
up. I have a lot of scars on my head.
I'm not about to play with y'all. First
and foremost, I called you here to
[ __ ] help me. Help for my
sister. If she want to act crazy, that's
her [ __ ] right. I'm telling her
to calm the [ __ ] down. Why are you still
here? No, he [ __ ] my sister up. No, he
didn't. Why didn't he? I watched it. Why
you held me? Why the [ __ ] are you still
here? Get my glasses. Why the [ __ ] are
you still here?
Why are you still here? She's not here
no more. Okay. I can't even I don't give
a [ __ ] She's not here no more. I called
to get help for my assistant. We're
going to get her help. Exactly. So why
the [ __ ] are you grabbing me so [ __ ]
aggressively? You're grabbing her. Why?
No, I'm not. I'm telling her to calm
down and be safe. I love you. I'm your
sister. Don't put your [ __ ] hand up
to me. Exactly. I'm here. [ __ ] Exactly.
What the [ __ ] are you talking about,
[ __ ] No, I don't get it. He can't do a
[ __ ] thing to me. He can't do
[ __ ] to me. That's my [ __ ] Relax.
Relax. Don't touch me. Don't [ __ ]
touch me. I thought she was out of here.
Can I talk to her? Let me calm down. Let
me calm her. Let me let me calm her. She
I need you to step back. You're the one
to stop being calm. Babe, back up. She
got a jacket. It's a bag right there on
your side of the bed. Fine for now. Step
out of here. I need you to step
back or not. No. Precious.
What? I didn't invite y'all in my house.
Get out of my house. Stop touching me.
Stop touching me. I won't touch. Stop
touching me. Stop touching me. I didn't
invite y'all in my house. Get out my
house. Get out of my house. Y'all have a
warrant. I didn't invite y'all into my
house. I did not. Why are you touching
me? Because you need to step back. No.
This is my house. I have rights. I have
You do have rights. Right. By the law. I
know my [ __ ] law. My best
friend is a [ __ ] lawyer. Get
off me. Turn around. extraction. Did you
guys get me for instructions? This part
right here is probably one of my most
frustrating moments in the entire video.
Uh the reason being is because things
got out of control due to a
miscommunication. And at the time, I was
absolutely furious about this. You know,
looking back on it, I do understand what
was going on, but it's still incredibly
frustrating. And it should be um a
lesson to officers that when you hear
someone ask a question, make sure you
know what they asked before you give an
answer. Uh because I'm in the kitchen
trying to hold back
uh sis and and I I I hear other officers
show up in the house. So I say, "Hey, do
you guys have her out of here? Is
everything under control?" Um and that's
not exactly what I said, but I did say,
"Do you guys have her out of here?"
There's a sergeant that had arrived. He
heard me ask that question, but he
didn't understand what I asked. He said
yes. And then a moment later, he said,
"I'm here now." And and the question I
asked was, "Do you have her out of the
house?" When he said yes, I thought,
"Oh, great. I've got this sister. She's
in there smacking her hands. She's
getting very agitated. We're getting
very close to violence here. We're in
the kitchen. Kitchens are dangerous.
There's pots and pans, plates, knives,
silverware, all that kind of stuff.
Officers do not like being locked in a
kitchen with somebody." So, I thought,
great, I can get out of the kitchen. I
can now let her go. As long as we don't
let her run out to the cruiser where
officers are putting Precious in,
everything should be good to go. So, I
step out of the way, let Cis run in.
Unfortunately, the officers were still
in the front room with CIS. So, or with
Precious. So, Cis runs over, tries to
grab onto her. We're now forced into a
situation where I have to put her under
arrest. Uh, this is something that I
wanted to avoid at all cost. I didn't
want to have to put my hands on her. I
didn't want to have to put her in cuffs,
but unfortunately um due to a
miscommunication and the actions of the
sis, I had no choice. I had to place her
under arrest at this point. Extraction
and justice. Put your palms together. My
palms are together. Are you going to
fight me? You said put my palms
together. Do I put my palms together or
not? All right, that's cool. But y'all
can still get out my house. Go get her
outside. Tell them get out of my house.
I didn't give y'all a right. Get the
[ __ ] out of my house.
Get out of my house. Wait, let them get
her. No, I don't give a [ __ ] No, put
them down. She ain't get [ __ ] I don't
give a [ __ ] She don't get [ __ ] I ain't
got no shoes. She ain't got no shoes. We
in that [ __ ] together. Get the [ __ ] out
my house. Y'all don't have no right to
be in my house. Y'all don't have no
[ __ ] warrant. I'm arrested for
obstruction and justice because I called
to get help for my sister. So get the
[ __ ] out of my house. Kevin, I don't
give a [ __ ] I will risk every
last one of you [ __ ] Get the
[ __ ] out of my house. I called for my
sister. Why the [ __ ] are y'all in my
house? Get out my house. Listen, we're
going to walk outside. Get out my house.
Nah, I want my shoes on.
I'm going to fight our [ __ ] Get
your stupid ass to [ __ ] with you. You
[ __ ] Oh, y
strong ass. You want to [ __ ]
[ __ ] grab my life? No shoes. I don't
give a [ __ ] My first one. Get the [ __ ]
out of my house though. I didn't tell
none of y'all y'all good. Watch this.
Are you good?
Get the [ __ ] out of my house. No, you're
not allowed to be in my house. And [ __ ]
you, too. Give me resistance. Y'all not
allowed in my house. Get out of my
house. Y'all don't have a warrant. All
right. Get out my house. Get out my
house. Get out of my house. I don't
care. Get out my house. Why are y'all in
my house? I didn't get nobody to [ __ ]
permission to be in my house. Yeah, cuz
y'all arrested me for nothing. How you
going to arrest me in my house when I
told y'all I didn't need y'all? I called
y'all. [ __ ] this supposed to be the
[ __ ] supposed to help me. [ __ ]
you talking about? Y'all [ __ ]
ignorant, bro. But let a [ __ ] be
shooting like they was out here
yesterday. And y'all [ __ ] ass ain't
going to do [ __ ] right? Y Why are you
grabbing me, [ __ ] I'm handcuffed.
Unbuckle. [ __ ] Your back hurt, don't
it? Goofy ass dude. Babe, Kevin.
Nah, y'all is dumb as [ __ ] Like, I
can't believe the [ __ ] out of this. I
called cuz my sister needed help. And
y'all want to arrest me for obstruction
of official business?
That is crazy. And when I get out in the
morning, I want all Where is your
supervisor? Like, he was here. He's the
one that said you're under arrest. No, I
don't care. I want to speak to him right
now. Like, I called y'all to get help
from my sister and y'all going to arrest
me because I'm the only one who can
control her. Y'all ignorant as [ __ ] Get
off my boob, bro. Before I get your dumb
ass for [ __ ] sexual harassment,
get off my titties. [ __ ] you talking
about? I mean, I ain't fighting. I'm
letting y'all do y'all's thing. All
righty. So, from there, uh, sis on her,
um, cot, her stretcher that she was now
tied down to. She got loaded up into a
wagon. That wagon drove down to the
jail. Uh, Precious was I think she was
already in a cruiser and maybe already
being transported to the hospital before
we even got CIS into the back of that
wagon. Uh, I then had to sit right there
and start doing paperwork as fast as I
possibly could. Uh, the officers that
took uh, Precious to the hospital, they
took care of that paperwork for me, but
I had to do the arrest paperwork for
CIS. I had to get that done because the
officers that took her down to the jail
were were basically being held hostage
by the jail as they waited for that
paperwork because you can't um you can't
just drop someone off the jail and bring
paperwork down later. When you when you
have someone that's um you know being
resistant and belligerent and all that
other kind of stuff, take them down to
the jail, they put them in a side tank
and then you stand by and you wait for
the paperwork to arrive. Once the
paperwork arrives and it's all checked
out, the jail will then clear the
officers so they can go back to work and
then they will slate your your prisoner.
Um, but that was that was the
culmination of one of the most
frustrating calls for service I've ever
responded on. And this is a very extreme
example, but nonetheless is it's an
yeah, it is an example of something that
we see all the time where you have a
person that suffers from mental illness.
uh they're having an episode and that
episode is made worse by the family that
doesn't know how to act around their
their person that is mentally ill. They
make the situation worse a lot of the
time and it makes our job that much
harder. So, all that being said, I hope
you enjoyed the video. I will talk to
you guys later.
