McDonald's but I don't want to waste your time and I appreciate it thank you any other questions no sir I I got what I need right here actually I need their their numbers even though there is no information on whether Melendez eventually filed the lawsuit it is obvious that he at least put the uneducated cops in the their place and schooled them on the law but if you think Melendez had it bad you're about to meet someone who had it even worse I couldn't help I notied you just sitting on the patio out there what's that I couldn't help but notice you sitting on the patio behind this building

picking up the trash around his apartment building when officer John Smiley from the Boulder Police Department stopped him why I just need to verify who you are that you belong here that you have a right to be here okay are you kidding me man can you have a seat please no no Mr ainson no no I'm not I'm not 290 cook CL can you please have a seat no put that down stop Mr ainson right now you're obstructing a police officer which is a jailable offense I'm asking you one more time to sit down I'm not doing anything wrong and you're not going to arrest me you're not going to do anything cuz I

a weapon put it down and comply with my orders that's not what you're doing officer better thing cuz I got dude I could get lawyers and you have a camera on you it's filming right now an idiot have a seat pleas why would you think that you could tase me I'm freaking picking up trash on my property if you you never thought that picking trash on your own property would be considered a crime you're not alone rather than commend this man for being an upstanding citizen officer Smiley decided to treat him like a criminal instead I need to confirm it where I live there's a sign I'm not doing anything illegal and you're not going to tase me officer so how do you think about that sit sit down how do you feel about that sir sit down how do you feel about that sir and get your freaking

consideration I'm minding my all you have to comply right now officer you're going to shoot me just have a seat man all I want to do is figure this out with you officer Smiley kept following Atkinson around his apartment building while being aggressive and threatening him with arrest as if that wasn't enough he also invited seven other cops to make the situation even more terrifying for the innocent man are you serious just relax look at that no I'm not doing anything have a seat drop drop it drop it drop it why do you all four of them look the police are telling you to do something do it you have a gun in your hand yes I do cuz you're not listening you have a gun in you have a weapon drop the weapon drop it I don't have a weapon drop it now focus on me f focus on me what do you mean Focus six of you just drop it this is my property we're not going anywhere you need to drop it we I haven't conf irm that yet I told you I'm investigating a trespass you didn't give me your address 2333 I live in room 30 that's the first time have a seat you are threatening me on my property I live here I'm a resent the first thing you need to do is drop I'm picking up garbage from my DM I go to school here drop it just drop it and sit here just don't tell me what to do you guys don't have a goddamn right to be doing this to me sit down I'm a citizen of this country i f my taxes I am

told me that you are a resident oh wow what a that's what we were trying to find out okay what a surprise I gave him my ID and then Ted and he's started taking down my information telling me this that and the other thing and then I walk away and he pulls his taser out on so J I'm listening to you and I just appreciate if you did so so Zade if you were willing to sit down this would bring everything down a little bit and we could I I I do not feel comfortable sitting down around a bunch of murderers okay so Z this guy was ready to kill me sir okay so Zade um once again I'm off oh you is going to ignore what I just said though no I'm just trying to convin you go home officer and why don't you guys go find some real criminals instead of wasting my goddamn time how about that I live here I think this is a joke I live here you were ready to shoot me down and you didn't know a goddamn thing you're wasting all our resources I didn't my gun you're wasting all our resources there's people out there actually committing crimes can I feel you feel you're ready to jump out of your skin cuz you know you made a dumb mistake today can I tell you something no I don't want to hear it I want you to get why don't you talk to my partner I don't want to talk to any of you right now I need you to sit down so we can figure my property and stop wasting my time that's not going to happen until I confirm who you are okay all right so let's uh you got his uh information in terms of his name and all that I just have his name okay and uh give him his ID back and we're out of here yeah cuz we already confirmed he's there and this gentleman here just said yeah he works here and he lives here so okay yeah yeah eventually one of the other officers developed the common sense to actually try to figure out what happened once he got the full story he realized that officer Smiley was indeed at fault and asked him to let Atkinson go it was at this point that they cut off the audio because they didn't want further proof of their corruption but cops like officer Smiley are all over the world in fact here's another one at Burlington hi where are you doing just checking out my employees what's up what's your name badge number Delgato Delgato you have a badge number I don't okay what's your name a I'm not going to give that so what are you doing just checking on checking on the Burlington employees and seeing if you guys are doing a great job you're keeping looking through the cars yeah I want to make sure you're keeping the officer safe with like good tires you said I need to yes sir you're actually trespassed unless you actually have something you want me to or I need to do you have any business back here this is only police Personnel only yeah you said I need to so I was asking do do you want me to come talk to or did I have to am I being detained yes sir just point yes sir okay for suspicion of what crime okay you're walking around Tak a pictures of police cars and so forth you're you're not you don't have any business here Police Department is that illegal it's only supposed to be police back here and your name badge number this is a First Amendment auditor who runs a YouTube channel by the name Free Press NC he was exercising his rights outside the Burlington Police Department when this happened I don't have a badge number Sergeant Marsh Sergeant Marsh okay your name badge number offer he awesome and you guys don't have badge numbers at all they we're asking you why are you back here so you said I'm detained and I said suspicion of what crime what are you doing back suspicion of what crime what's your R ask your question what's your R you said I'm detained do you have a reason to back it is 3:44 when you detain me do you have a reason to be back here what you need to leave what Raz you need to leave sir what crime have I committed you need to leave if you'd like to stand on the sidewalk and do he told me I have to come here and I'm detained I didn't say that I didn't say that you said we need you to come here and you said I'm detain talk to you I need to talk to you if you want to go over there take on the sidewalk free but you I can do what I want thanks if if you would have approached me and tried to talk I didn't treat her bad you told me I was detained no it's a public sir you can go on the sidewalk and take pictures you have to sidewalk where's the sign that says it's authorized personnel only there's actually a sign in here that says public parking right here did you touch that vehicle did you try to they pull in here correct did you try to go in that vehicle what did you do what did I do what on that vehicle over there on what vehicle the one that you were at the passenger side door so first off the fact that he told me I was detained means that now I lose cordial interaction with you guys cuz now you're trying to find a crime and I have the right to my fifth amendment my first amendment my fourth amendment and because of how he act I was talking to you I wouldn't give you my name but I was talking to you right he escalated and said I'm detained so that's when I lower my expectations of your department and that's on him right so I wasn't like this to you until he did that you tell me I'm detained in a public parking lot with no signs that's bull crap back off sir you need to understand I don't need to do crap you detain me for nothing you need to leave the parking lot I'm not going to cuz there's no I'm walking to the freaking Lobby I seen you and I called my sergeant and I that's that's why I but that's what you need to articulate you didn't do that until now he was telling me that I was suspicious cuz I was filming around Vehicles if you suspect me of committing a crime detain me and investigate I mean I don't know why I I don't need to teach you guys that but he doesn't get to detain me cuz I'm filming I don't care how suspicious it looks I I'm not trespassing you set off trespassing while two of the officers were quite professional even though they had no Reasonable Suspicion Sergeant Marsh was a complete mess he kept making commands that weren't within his jurisdiction and he wasn't even polite about it it was no wonder when Lieutenant Beckner came on the scene he immediately saw the need to remove him from the situation here's here's our Lieutenant fantastic what's going on man howdy how are you I am I was doing pretty good tell him at the sergeant these two folks are incredibly professional he hasn't escalated a single thing she said she had red me breaking into a freaking car she was very polite at first once he escalated she jumped on the bandwagon but generally they've been good okay he is a train wreck how you just treated me was a train wack I should say that I don't know you Sergeant Marsh so I shouldn't have said that I apologize right I was walking around cars because I'm trying to inspect the vehicles that are in City parking lots paid for by the city run by public officials while I'm on the way to a public Lobby through a public parking lot I'll give you that he just detained me on video I said you're telling me I have to and he said yes and I said so I'm being detained he said yes I said then I'm not talking and he said you're trespassing you're detained come back here that is a violation of my rights period now what I was telling him as long as this doesn't escalate further probably a court doesn't care about a 5minute detention right okay I mean he didn't have what's reasonable what's not he doesn't have Raz and he knew he didn't have Raz he said his Raz was that I was filming you and I both freaking know you do not want that on camera right and so okay so moving forward how how can we do something for you here you can you the back lot you know what I mean if you need paperwork tell me what you need we'll try to get it for you they're going to close pretty soon you know what I mean I'm to go I'm just here to quietly exercise my rights and not be impeded and not be detained we good we power to you awesome yeah thanks Lieutenant yes sir take care Sor the lieutenant was polite and professional and was able to deescalate the situation quickly without ignoring the law or jumping to conclusions Sergeant Marsh could definitely learn a thing or two from him if you enjoyed this video
