Can you show me your department ID, please? Stop, dude. You can make it an emergency, please. I got one resisting. Dude, you're going to get tased. Turn around. Stand up and turn around. I asked him for his ID, he said he doesn't have it. He says, "My ride's here, I'm going to leave." I said, "No, you're not." Yeah. And then I said, and that's why I'm tell He was like getting up to leave. And I pulled my taser out and my dog will start barking and I think he got a little worried, so he started to comply then. He was going to try to dictate and tell me he was going to leave, so I'm not I'm not playing that game. No. He's going to learn, fortunately, the hard way. >> In this video, a 22-year-old man had just finished his shift and was sitting outside his job waiting for his ride home when a cop rolled up and immediately treated him like a suspect. There was no call, no complaint, and no crime reported, but the officer still decided he wasn't free to leave. The moment his ride showed up, things escalated fast with threats of a taser and even a police dog while the man kept explaining he worked there and had done nothing wrong. What started as nothing quickly turned into an arrest that didn't make sense from the start, and the officer refused to back off even after realizing who he was dealing with. Watch how this situation spiraled for no reason. What's going on with you? ID card. Something with your name on it. 6K93 Central. That's my ride. I'm going to go. No, you're not.

You can hang out then. All right, I appreciate This one was kind of strange. So, I'm passing by CVS on Sierra Madre, so I was like, "I'll dip in and check who it is." As I'm pulling in, he hides behind the pole. So, I'm like, that's strange, so I was like, "I need to talk to this guy. His business is closed." I go talk to him, like, "Hey, man." And he's like, "Am I being detained?" I said, "Yes, you are. You're being detained." And I asked him for his ID, he said he doesn't have it. He says, "My ride's here, I'm going to leave." I said, "No, you're not." And then I said, and that's why I'm tell He was like getting up to leave. And I pulled my taser out and my dog will start barking and I think he got a little worried, so he started to comply then. But, so he's going to jail for resisting. That was his Uber right there. Apparently, he works here, but dude, he passed that point and he's just trying to jump in that and leave. Yeah. Is that his [ __ ] that's on the bench up here, too? >> Uh-huh, yeah. I do believe that he works here. I mean, he looks like he's in working clothes, but I mean, he was going to try to dictate and tell me he was going to leave, so I'm not I'm not playing that game. No. He's going to learn, fortunately, the hard way, so it's pretty pretty clear and simple. And he was hiding behind the pole, which I Dude, that was strange cuz I've never seen someone like get up off the bench and hide. He left his [ __ ] there, too. Yeah, he was hiding behind the pole when I was like when I saw him pull in. I don't know. And then I asked him, he's like, "My ride's here, I'm going to leave." I said, "No, you're not, dude. I said you're detained." And then he went and ID'd himself, so. Yeah. All right, face the car for me, bud. Don't lean against the car so hard. I got to check your pockets. You got anything illegal on you that you shouldn't have? You are going to jail tonight. I was pretty clear with you and cool. You don't get to tell me that you're going to leave, okay? I told you You asked me if you were detained. I said, "Yes, dude." And then you decide you just want to leave and do whatever the you want. Are you going to talk or? No? Okay, that's fine. Is this a fake pocket? Yep. You want to what side you want him on? Take a seat. What's that? You don't want to ask You don't have any questions for me? Do you understand why you're getting arrested? Do you understand why you're getting arrested? I'll pull this back so you don't get too hot. I don't want you to overheat back there, dude. Yeah, so you don't want me to explain to you. You're good? I want to explain to you. I I think I dictated a little bit of what was going on. You You looked It was very strange, dude. Closed business, I pull up, you're hiding behind the pole. So, I get out with you, okay? I asked you to identify yourself, then you asked me if you were detained. I tell you you are detained. Okay? There's loitering and prowling, I can investigate that. Although, I'm not going to charge you with that, nor am I going to go further in that. I'm asking you for your ID to identify yourself. You failed to do that, I'm going to charge you with resisting, okay? I did do my uh citations for that 12 F yesterday. Um secure upload, but I'll probably print them out for you, Guppy, if you don't mind. Yeah, I do believe him. Oh, okay. I've never dealt with After this video blew up, everything changed almost instantly. The charges that were being pushed against him were dropped within a day once the public saw what really happened. The officer was pulled from duty and then quietly separated from the department soon after. But even with that, the damage was already done because he had already been taken to jail and lost his job over something that never should have happened. Now, his family has taken legal action, and a claim of $180,000 has already been filed against the city. So, while the charges are gone, the real fight over what they did to him is still ongoing.
