after fleeing the police for miles at speeds of over 100 mph when they finally stopped him the first thing this drunk officer had to say was this hey I'm a cop why you why you acing like that I'm a c this completely drunk Lieutenant simply couldn't accept the fact that he made a mistake by getting behind the wheel do me a favor I can't oh my God I'm not losing my career over you and I'm not losing my career either so but that's nothing compared to this ex police officer who injured a disabled Man without any reason but first let me introduce you to James Hodges a legally blind resident of Lake City who on October 31st 2022 was unjustifiably stopped searched harassed and ultimately arrested during a simple daytime stroll in his City this American Veteran had a walking stick in his back pocket during his walk which was officially assigned to him as a medical Aid however the policewoman who spotted him perceived that navigational Aid as a weapon hi there okayy what's this in your back pocket I just saw you walking at it's a navigational age what's the problem you a tyrant yeah I am actually what's your name and date of birth I don't have to give that unless yes sir I was investig you have reasonable to put you in handcuffs right now yes sir I do what is your suspicion it looks like you're carrying a gun in your back pocket I'm stopping to make sure you're carrying it properly you don't have you ensured that it's not a firearm no you keep turning so I can't see it you don't have to be adct to me well you're being one to me no sir I'm doing my job am I detained yeah you are what's your name and date of birth it doesn't not matter yes sir it does do you have a crime would you like me call your super he's right here all right police officers in the US including in Florida operate under the legal standard of reasonable suspicion when they perform a so-called stop and frisk this means they need to have a reasonable suspicion that someone is involved in criminal activity to stop them once the man clarified and showed that the object was a medic Aid the officer's initial Reasonable Suspicion should have been dispelled it seems that Mr Hodges is aware of this which is why he's asking for a supervisor but wait till you hear what the supervisor has to say what's the stop you for for a walking STI it could look like a weapon she asked you to really present it okay now she's asking me for to ID okay I don't need the ID unless reasonable articulated suspicion that I have committed a crime and committing a crime for about to do a crime sir and her suspicion was that you were armed okay and she's asking me for your ID well now she has verified that I am not armed so there is no problem you have your ID or not I do have my ID but you don't need it okay okay Mr Hodges knows his rights in in Florida people are only required by law to show police officers their ID when they are stopped on suspicion of a crime but the worst is yet to come where's your pocket which pocket you are not allowed to search me 2540 sir are you legally buying yes I am okay all right Mr Hodes was that that hard it's going to be I want your name and your badge number know put him in jail for resistance okay all right let's go I want your name and badge number two sir you pick my property up please I sure will after you have a seat you want to pull this out of my back pocket sure here I'll grab your jacket for you too despite learning Mr Hodges was unarmed officer go and Sergeant Harrison continued to detain and harass Mr Hodes the body cam footage shows officers reaching into Mr hodges's pocket without permission committing an illegal search additionally Sergeant Harrison handcuffed and arrested an entirely innocent man and what's even more concerning is that this this isn't the first time he has done such a thing Hodges spent 26 hours in jail before being released following an investigation the Sheriff's Office disciplined both officers with suspensions and additional training Mr Hodges also prepared a lawsuit against the officers and now check this officer who quickly regretted his actions and burst into tears a Miami dat police officer Donovan roas got behind the wheel of his patrol car while intoxicated and floored it another officer who spotted him speeding immediately pursued him but roas didn't stop for nearly the next 5 miles reaching speeds of up to 110 mph when they finally halted him the officers approached with caution assuming someone might be fleeing due to a criminal act however when the suspect emerged from the vehicle it was a shock for all his colleagues [Music] my face turn around turn walk right here walk right here shut the up get right over here I don't give a who you are get on your listen to me when I tell you turn around turn around turn around do not face me turn around turn around just walk walk right here walk right here shut the up get right over here I don't give a who you are get on your knees I'm out why you why you AC like that I'm call then you'll listen to me when I tell you to get on your knees CLE CLE who do you work for you used to work for Miami Dave be quiet don't say another word you hear me this event when broken down has several serious legal and professional implications since officer roas was swerving on the road while refusing to stop for the police and also could barely stand on his feet during the arrest it's obvious that he is quite drunk if the off-duty officer's blood alcohol concentration was over the legal limit of 0.08% he would be committing a DUI offense there is also speeding and fleeing from law enforcement the severity of this charge can vary from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on circumstances and state laws and now let's see what's with the police cruiser he used for this mess Jesus what Ser I can't see well that wasn't on when he passed me no he not no he's drunk did you turn that did you turn that on or it was on no it was on right on but the visor up son of a is this an agency vehicle yes sir you know how this goes okay I don't want be quiet before I ask you any questions you must understand your rights yes you have the right to remain silent with these rights in mind do you wish to talk to me now no sir okay I feel you're impaired me yeah no okay are you willing to perform field sobriety exercise to dispel my suspicion that you're imp sir no okay this is his agency car this is his agency car back to I just asked him I haven't run the tank I just got here um where he since he doesn't want to talk refuses to feel sobriety exercises more absolutely he's up yeah all right thank you it is what it is it was you you was Andy I clocked him at 17 I got him up to 111 and I know he saw my lights oh yeah bro you you this is not the highlight of my day I know bro I'm sorry brother but yep don't see say anything else after being brought to the police station the now former officer roas consistently claimed he stopped as soon as he noticed he was being followed by another police vehicle he stated he did not want to communicate yet kept on mumbling that he stopped as soon as he could and that he didn't run from the officers he refused a breathalyzer test in the end he was charged with fleeing and eluding and DUI following the arrest roas was relieved of his duties at the Miami Dade Police Department without pay during the interrog a he broke down when he realized his career was over and couldn't hold back [Music] tears hey let me see your hands B get on the ground get on the ground get on the ground right here me get on the ground you burgy shark get on the ground over here on the ground on the ground get on the ground do you not listen get on the ground get on the ground get on the ground there's a gun behind me there's a gun I believe behind me I ain't got no gun this is Clarence gilard a 58-year-old man from South Carolina what you might not know is that Mr Gailard was unable to quickly lie down on the ground because he has metal rods and pins in his leg and hip what you don't see is that the officer then thoughtlessly stepped on Mr gilard with his foot injuring him in the process on July 26th 2021 the police received a false tip that someone was moving in front of a building with a weapon officer David Lance Dukes was the first to arrive at the scene he immediately drew his weapon and began shouting at everyone present to lie down so he could retrieve the alleged weapon and you might wonder where was the weapon is there a gun back there a no gun by that truck H you got a gun on you man no I ain't got no gun I don't no gun he had something I the doorlock no it was right here watch him go watch him there it is all right that's what he had stand all right listen about to help hold hold on hold on y listen yep they slam my head down on the cement go back inside go back in the house go back in the house ain't nobody talking to you I got head Dr go back in the house yeah he was in front of the car when I came up and he was walking like this and I I thought it was a gun at first I said drop the gun drop the gun drop the gun drop the gun had him a gun point he's over here doing something like this you my head you my head what he was doing is putting this up behind the tire so he comes over right here got his hands in his pockets I'm tell him let me see your hands let me see your hands let me see your hands my head he wasn't listening these looks speak for themselves officer Dukes now realizes he made a big mistake and starts to explain himself in front of his Superior he claims he thought he saw a weapon which is why he ordered everyone to get down and that Mr gilard didn't obey which isn't true because he reacted to the command as quickly as he could again the man has a disability and can't just bend down easily depending on the specifics of the situation the officer might ask individuals to get on the ground as a precautionary measure to secure the scene especially if there's a belief that one of them might be armed however stomping on an individual without justifiable cause is a clear use of excessive force using Force without cause especially force that can cause harm or injury is a violation of an individual's rights for officer Dukes there's no way out but he sticks to his story and even Lies when a relative of the victim asks for his official details I didn't know what his ince you need to upload your camera I'm going take that into evidence what he have can I get a c from you I don't have one man we don't have they don't give us cards okay what's your badge number 1059 let me see if I can get my phone hold on we we we have cars thank youp in summary officer Dukes was fired and is no longer a police officer and Mr Gailard received a compensation of $650,000 for the physical and emotional distress he suffered and finally let me introduce you to Lieutenant Brian philipak or rather former Lieutenant on November 13th 2016 his fellow officers caught him behind the wheel while extremely intoxicated after receiving multiple reports from citizens about a pickup vehicle swerving on the road and nearly hitting other cars Brian immediately knew what he had done but he simply did not want to accept it and insisted that the officer let him go even though everything was recorded on camera can I hear Li St [Applause] proof okay
