cops deal with citizens every day but what happens when they get unprofessional and make unlawful arrests involving soldiers and Veterans here are times when idiot cops tried arresting soldiers

around on a car they speeding I'm doing my job out here sir give me your last you hit me don't worry don't worry I'll see you int dude let's kick off with the traffic stop of Veteran Charles Donner and his wife Britney on May 10th the couple had been driving behind Arkansas State Police Trooper Ryan Wingo in Hot Springs Arkansas when Trooper Wingo made a sudden U-turn in an attempt to pursue a vehicle headed in the opposite direction which was allegedly speeding Mr Donner honked his horn at Trooper Wingo who responded with a full three 360° U-turn and pulled behind Mr Donner's vehicle with his lights flashing Mr Donner pulled to the right side of the road and stopped the vehicle when Trooper Wingo crashed into him with his Patrol vehicle here is the interaction that unfolded what's going on take it on look at my car all right take a SE in the car for right now we're on the traffic Stu right now you hit mying car on traff now out here I want to see the Damage Done to my give me a

that you so that you so want sir yes I do want it okay you fuing hit me there's no damage between our vehicles though I don't give a bro you Trooper Wingo then forcefully opened Mr Donner's vehicle door ordered him to exit the vehicle and placed him under arrest for alleged disorderly conduct this contradicts the state's law which states that disorderly conduct involves intentionally causing public inconvenience annoyance or recklessly creating a risk of public inconvenience such as engaging in violent action or causing a public disturbance since Mr Donner had simply been in his vehicle conversing with Trooper Wingo this was unlawful as Citizens cannot be arrested for simply using curse words you're under arrest for dis the cont sir come on take a SE until you can calm down okay why are you doing this ma'am there was no need for cussing me out until he can calm down and act like an adult he's going to sit in back the car let me explain to you my husband has severe PTSD severe severe he's 100% disabled veteran and he is fuing that's why I'm here you going to talk you going to talk to me you going to let me talk or you want to interrupt me the entire time man I'm sorry okay until he can calm down and act like a human being and stop cussing me out for no reason so I'm trying to explain to him what happened but he doesn't want to let me talk okay so do you want to let me talk or not yes I'm sorry okay now you going to calm down you're going to continue C I just want your badge number and your name you going to I'm asking you a simple question so you going to C down I just want your badge number in your name it's all I want okay well I'm trying to ask and I said share officer okay well you going to Contin to cuss me out or not cuz I that and you're going to say

want your badge number and your name okay it's all I want okay this is going to end horribly I just want him I'm trying to get him to calm down but he doesn't want to he wants continue to yell at me for no reason okay said he I don't know if he has malicious intent he's over here yelling and cussing me now I'm just trying to get his information and he wants to start yelling stop in the middle of the road for no reason I understand but he was freaking out because you hit her car that's why he was upset was because you hit us driv backat he started cussing me out and I have trying to have Cal down back but everything's good to go yeah he just want toell and cuss me for no reason so I got him out and put you're good yeah okay I was coming this way he was I saw him rideing my butt I didn't

butt turned around yeah um turned around and when I turned around he starts laying on his arm like okay so you want to lay on your horn I'll just pull you over Clos so when I turn around turn back around to come behind him he moves straight over from the inside Lane to the outside Lane go straight over and just Slams on the brakes okay and I'm just trying to get behind him and he stands on his and I didn't even have my lights on at that point but he just stops in the middle of the road you see these cars see the see the mark our turns are legal when we're going after it doesn't make any difference and what you did slamming on your I slam on my brakes that's his work that's not M and my wife that's fine I didn't slam on my Brak so it's one minute it don't matter don't have are you one of these top people that you're going to provoke the no I'm not trying to it sounds like no I'm not evidently Trooper Ryan's driving was a reckless disregard for the safety of others and his erratic driving was both illegal and likely responsible for the accident Mr Donner was ultimately released without charges for disorderly conduct but was issued a citation for following too closely and parking on a highway due to the disturbing experience during the traffic stop the couple decided not to fight the charges and paid the $330 fine but filed a civil lawsuit against Trooper Wingo however Trooper Wingo wasn't the only law enforcement officer to falsely arrest a veteran as we will see in this next case how's it going can we get away from the power lines let's start with that yeah sure what get away from the power lines let's sit over here for a minut oh I I didn't know I didn't know we were you don't I mean you don't see the power l i mean I didn't even look up okay well maybe you

good one there's your ride me get you home brother never no you didn't I appreciate that thanks thank you guys all right overall the Wheatridge police officer's arrest was totally unlawful and unprofessional accusing James on no clear grounds of several baseless allegations like being drunk in public when he was on private property they detained James without reasonable basis and displayed a clear lack of knowledge of the laws guiding their profession as Law Enforcement Officers James clearly ensured that despite being intoxicated he made sure he got home in a safe manner which was very compliant with the law the Wheatridge officers should have simply waited around and observed until the Uber arrived rather than unlawfully forcing him to give them digital information from his private phone but this unlawful arrest is nothing compared to the level of unprofessionalism displayed by the cop in the next video he got sto in the spray and he brought it out here and they they sportman took it off the Record but I don't know why they haven't took it off yet this happened like a couple months ago oh yeah yeah I I'm not a t make I go to work every day I want to tell y yeah but that's it we in the car he already got it okay I do calm down this can and paper okay I wouldn't tell you I with no dble if my wife right here and she know I be I wouldn't work who's the call register to
