cops have a duty to Serve and Protect but many go against this mandate by abusing their power on civilians but what happens when these cops try to harass Navy veterans here are times when idiot cops got humbled by Navy veterans ask when y first pull somebody over right y'all Ain do none of that come on I'm not posing St citizen shut your mouth don't get off loud with me they ain't going to change nothing hey I'm just talking I'm just talking I'm having a conversation with you right no you're trying to talk over me and trying to set up a defense for yourself because what you did is called fail to obey it's a fleeing charge and it's a felony 3 this is Braxton Smith a US Navy veteran sailor who got pulled over at night during a traffic stop by cops for having a tended vehicle the officer then goes as far as threatening Braxton with jail time this is how the interaction went what's up it is he keep your feet is that something he has or was that you that sound I don't know what was it I I heard it wasn't sound thought it was coming from him right here you have an alarm or something on you huh you have an alarm or something on you no [Applause] 397 I got everything out of his pockets all right give me your shoe some well right now you might be going to jail for what I'll talk to you about that in a second okay the officer claims to have seen Braxton making suspicious movements in his vehicle during the Stop and before for the arrest he then accuses Braxton of concealing a weapon when pulled over the officer proceeds to search the suspect's vehicle and when he doesn't find anything here's what transpires next questioning if you can't afford an attorney when will be appointed for you at no cost for question begins and if you answer questions now you can stop at anytime cons an attorney you understand all that uhhuh so what makes this spot safer for you than the where I tried to stop you I mean I hit the light I a't want to pull in the middle of the road that's dangerous for y'all I just want to pull in a well lit area you get y' out of traffic I ain't stupid so do you think that making a safe spot for us is is uh is something that you're authorized to do I mean I don't I a't think it require authorization I'm trying to be say just like yo I ain't posing a threat I se y'all CLE wa sir you're trying to be safe you're trying to find a safe spot for you or for me for both of us no you don't get to do that okay that's understandable you can make a claim that you're trying to make a safe spot for you is that what you're doing yeah all right why is this spot safer than that spot it's it's a Well lit area I mean it's not in the middle of the road do you see all those do you see all those uh street lights down there I understand what you're saying so why is this spot more well lit than down there I mean what was so detrimental between me stopping right there and stopping right here I I well actually I'd like to ask you that why did you keep driving I have no I just told you that I just told you that why would a lot of moving moving around in that car you just looked in it there's a lot of moving around whenever whenever I have my lights on I roll the window down put my driver license my registration not the window that's y supposed to ask when y first pull somebody over right y'all ain't do none of that come on I'm not posing citizen shut your mouth don't get off loud with me they ain't going to change nothing hey I'm just talking I'm just talking I'm having a conversation with you right no you're trying to talk over me and you're trying to set up at defense for yourself because what you did is called fail to obey it's a fleeing charge and it's a felony 3 okay if you'd like to go to jail on a felony charge I'm good with it I'm not all right well then quit trying to talk your way out of this and just talk to me and actually tell the truth because I'm not stupid okay I know you're trying to play me okay so why didn't you stop I just told you why I didn't stop smarter than ever look what you just did to me you just snatched me out my car I rode the on down and gave my license my registration you ain't reading no right you snatched me out the car damn right I did why did I do that why I don't know I had the slightest idea because how about because run my name for 300 yards I had my lights did you hear how many different signers did I turn off listen I'm a black man asking you question terrified to the police Mr black man I'm asking you a question how many times did how many different Sirens did I turn on and how many times did I lay on my horn I had the SL when you said pull over I pulled over you said throw the keys out of the car I comply no when I said pull over was back there when I turned my light and Sir on get in the car okay damn you know get in the car shut your mouth the [Applause] car feels warm to the touch you it yeah like it feels up against is B now you know what I mean I guess the where did you buy the firearm uh pawn shop on on Le Boulevard store yeah pawn shop you do the paperwork yeah it might be in the car okay when you get car is he been within a year okay so you did all the paperwork the background check and everything yeah so why would they how come you just buy a gun but you can't have a cwl hey so what's the process of buying a gun right you go you go through the backr I've bought guns my whole life bro I'm a veteran I I'm served 10 years in a V so why wouldn't you be able to get cwo is what I'm trying to get to you but why why is that an issue about within my legal limit that's what I understand because I'm wondering if you're a prohibited possessor just prohibited from purchasing or that mean if I prohibited Pur you don't need to know what it means I know it means right or wrong I don't I know what it means you don't need to know what it means I'm just trying to ask questions to determine which category you fall into why if I'm within my legal limit why does any of that matter legal limit if I can purchase a firearm I can ride with it in my vehic right if it's in the trunk that's why I'm asking that's the law I studyed the Florida gun law That's the Law I that's the law I abide by great great do you mind if I do you mind if I ask questions to verify that of course of course so so you did the background check right and you purchased it but you but when you did a background check for the cwl they said no well I I I don't understand where these questions going like is is is all right [Applause] roll it up I'm just going to get the tent is the front good [Applause] yeah oh no they're ' 90s do '90s might have [Applause] [Applause] been going to do the same it's they're going to be the front it's going to be legal but I think they're going to be yeah this will be 20 so it's over yeah all right you come up here to the [Applause] front all right here's the deal so my traffic program is messed up so I can't ride a ticket right now and we have gunshots down the road that I'm going to go respond to so so those two reasons are getting you out of ticket tonight okay your front windows are too your front windows are too dark though in your windshield just so you know huh where you left it [Applause] after a series of conflicting orders and attempts to accuse Braxton of marijuana intake and possession in what seems to be a case of racial profiling Braxton didn't budge this left the officer with no choice but to embarrassingly swallow his ego and uncuff him if you thought this cop went over the line this next case takes it to a whole

leave the traffic stop arguing that she was obstructing the situation however Miss Shell well aware of her rights responded firmly and confidently putting Carlos in his place undeterred officer Carlos tried various tactics to regain gain his authority and get her to leave even suggesting that she wasn't safe where she was parked but with each attempt it became increasingly evident that a walk of shame was imminent for officer Carlos as Miss Shell stood her ground and exposed his unprofessionalism please sister and my so I'm just going to stay here I need you to leave if you you can wait up

allowed to be stopped here if you are interfering with any kind of Investigation you can be detained at that point to and identified as a person you cannot just stop on the side road for somebody else to stop even if you know her sister brother son you can't do that while no one was arrested deputy sheriff Carlos was certainly put in his place by Miss Shelly after reviewing the body cam footage of the traffic stop the two deputies directly involved were extensively retrained with orders to complete 4 40-hour courses and other training exercises but Deputy Carlos duza's Walk of Shame is nothing
