Chuckers anything in the CATE Council I

[Applause]
yet and the take down was on the other
side of I'm just trying to figure out
should I take
I mean look at this thing I thought it
was real all right hey Amy thanks for
being cool okay yeah thanks like I said
you know what have solved all this right
I know I was just worried about
him I'm coming in here they about
probably where the front of Manny's car
is I hop out I go sit down sit down and
I was directed him to the shade cuz it's
hot as well you know what I mean and I
have to tell them numerous times to sit
down finally I move in since she's
bigger and I want to cuff him cuz he's
young and a dude and I'm 40 I'm old B so
I go to cuff him he's like can you cuff
me in front my shoulder hurts I'm like
fine so I cuff him in front then she
gets up she makes it over to that pole
and as I'm dealing with her he gets up
and he start
like he gets probably the cone and I
realize like he's running I got to get
her in cuffs to get him so I start
pushing her down and she's going down or
on the ground or whatever and I'm
cuffing her he turns and starts running
towards
me we're like right there
he gets to like right here I take out my
Taser and he kind of stops and maybe he
does a back step I don't know what it's
call but I end up lighting him up cuz I
can't deal with her and him I'm
outnumbered am were you trespass from
Walmart
normal but be honest with me yeah and
that covers all Walmarts right just be
honest I don't know I the one normal I'm
taking this this is one there's another
there's a Jabra that we haven't found
and then Burberry what about the the
needles have insulin and yeah but the TS
with them alcohol seal right but is it I
don't know I don't know that they would
have been able to get it but they
haven't made mention with crown
yet all right I'm going to follow them
to Joe from Walmart where did
you Crown Royal we got a sealed box here
a box of Crown Royal
so here's the deal I'm going to forward
charges for resisting okay okay cuz I'm
going to be honest I think if you would
have stayed sat down I know then Kenny
wouldn't have been tased cuz Kenny
wouldn't have think thought he could
have run away and then Kenny wouldn't
have seen me trying to put you on the
ground yeah right and then ran at me and
then me think that I'm going to get
overpowered or have to fight two people
I guess in my eyes was thinking I'm not
going nowhere I'm not going to out run
yet I guess that's what I was thinking
you know I mean I just wanted to make
sure he was okay but told you but you
told me I know I didn't treat you
nothing but decent I did I just gave you
direct orders and I explained why I know
right I know and that's the first I ever
done anything like that anything so I'm
going to go actually officer brace did
you find anything Benny no okay I was
going to say so officer man is going to
cut you loose okay was that your
decision yeah cuz oh my god well I'm not
going to call animal control for Ruckus
Ruckus didn't do nothing but be a good
boy that's the only good boy out of him
and Kenny he is come here budddy yes
your B right here all right did you
found more stuff well I don't know just
it was over there in the trash can
okay a no trash can but there's
no okay I'm going to go inside and see
how hard it is for me to get video okay
so what was going on over here then it
was just I don't know I'm in the store I
said okay go ahead and go out and check
on rucky boy cuz I knew it it's was kind
of getting warm and that's my baby and
he said okay I'll meet you in the truck
I was grabbing some data raid blah blah
blah and then I had this lady come up to
me in Walmart open your purse I'm like
okay I'm like uh where's the items you
just took I my purse I'm like what are
you talking about what items here's my
purse well your husband just took off
and we got your plate number and I'm
like what so I start walking out like
what's going on I see the truck is gone
where it was parked I'm like so I'm
walking across the parking lot and I get
by the gas station and I see him walking
on the other side of this bank uhhuh and
I can tell it's him cuz there ball head
shining and I said what are you doing
what happened we didn't even get two
seconds and he pulled up and then I was
crying and worried about him and I said
where's rucky he said the truck's over
there and so when he was arresting you
then then Ken started coming back at
yeah he's like yeah cuz he's like don't
throw it down because I have a a hery I
had to get surgery on stupid I've never
done that in my life sir never had
raised my voice that anything to help
and it just all happening so fast I mean
I'm I my daughter absolutely absolutely
okay all right yep no
problem like that all right your legs
up I appreciate it
yeah love I
know yeah yeah now certain situations
can always be avoided hey everyone I'm
John and I appreciate you watching and
when police respond to any call it's
never just cut and dry and the call can
come out his shoplifting and turn into
something else now I've responded to
many shoplifting calls and arrested many
people over my career but back in 2012 I
respond into a shop lifting in progress
on Roosevelt Boulevard at a Walmart as a
Mel was removing a knife from a piece of
plastic as I go in and numerous
employees point me to where he is I
advise him to stay back as I get to the
ow and sure enough I observe him taking
the knife from the packaging he then
looks at me and starts walking towards
me with the knife so I remove my Taser
and Target him with the Red Dot while
ordering him to drop the knife now I'm
thankful that he did and placed him in
custody quickly because my backup didn't
show up for probably another 60 seconds
now my case went well because the
offender probably didn't want to feel
the pain of a taser now with this case
at a Bloomington Police Department that
we just watched the officer arrives for
a shoplifting call and gives multiple
orders to the male and female as he
tells them to sit down and stop moving
now the male then walks toward the
officer as he's cuffed in the front when
the suspect should have stayed seated
the officer deploys his taser at the
male suspect incapacitating him now the
officer will have to articulate in
detail while he tased the cuff male now
the male did fall and hit his head on
the concrete however following
instructions would have prevented any
injury now when deciding whether a
police officer engages in excessive
force courts look at the totality of the
circumstances to determine whether the
actions were objectively reasonable now
per directive 10 of the Philadelphia
Police Department a taser will not be
used on a handcuffed person unless the
person is displaying combative Andor
violent behavior and it is necessary to
prevent the individual from inflicting
serious bodily injury to themselves the
officer or others and when we speak
about tasing handcuffed people we must
consider the implications for both
safety and accountability handcuffed
suspects are often perceived as subdued
yet the reality is that they can still
be a threat to the officer however it
depends on the situation how that
individual officer articulates the
incident Amy was charged with resisting
arrest while Kenneth was charged with
felony retail theft due to a prior
shoplifting conviction aggravated
assault and resisting arrest they are
innocent unless proven guilty in a court
of law
