That's like saying somebody put up a white only sign on the street after they just banned all the black people off of it. >> Damn, I'm not making this a race thing. >> It is because there was no stop sign before the black man got arrested and now there's a stop sign there after the black man claimed and a white man claimed that there was a stop sign there.

And we came here to make a complaint about it and you are refusing to take our complaint. You turned off THE LIGHTS IN THE OFFICE AND asked us to leave. This is insane. And when we weren't going to leave, he put his hands on DeAngelo AND THEN ARRESTED HIM. THIS IS INSANE.

You don't understand. This has been going on the whole time. DeAngelo was leaving the parking lot. >> [laughter] >> I want to come here today to make a complaint specifically about the fact that they arrested him >> Okay. >> on 9/11 after a cop was stalking our house. He was sitting in front of our house in the middle of the night and DeAngelo left the driveway [laughter] >> Okay. >> and he turned onto our street >> Okay. >> and the cop pulled him over and said that he ran a stop sign.

They have been harassing DeAngelo ever since I've known him and before I've even known him. This isn't acceptable. None of this is acceptable. The fact that I am in handcuffs is unacceptable. The fact that DeAngelo is in handcuffs is unacceptable. ALL WE WANTED TO DO is come in here and make A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE HARASSMENT. >> I'M CALLING back up here and I'm handling this. >> car, okay? >> I'm calling back up here. >> I'm fixing your car. >> I'm going to be back in this situation again.

What did What did I do to deserve those charges? Tell me what I did to deserve those charges.

If you were just stood there doing nothing, >> You stood there and do nothing while you WHILE YOU DO THAT TO HIM? WHILE YOU WHILE YOU BOTH ATTACK HIM AND AND PUT HIM in cuffs for no [ __ ] reason and taze him for no [ __ ] reason? You're kidding. IF YOUR WIFE WAS BEING TREATED like that, do you think that you would stand there and do nothing? You'd stand there and do nothing. >> That's where we're at right now. >> What is wrong with you people? >> You will have a court date to explain yourself. >> What is wrong with you people? >> Okay.

I was just called here. I have no idea. Obviously, you're in custody because of whatever reason and now I'm going to take you out to Aurora. Is that okay? >> Yes. >> To get medically checked out and then we'll just figure I don't know what's going to happen. I have no idea what's going on. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> Police reports indicate on the night DeAngelo was pulled over, there actually was a valid reason for it that had nothing to do with the stop sign. That night, DeAngelo reportedly [music] stopped in the middle of the road for about 20 seconds with an officer behind him in traffic, which warranted the traffic stop. During the commotion in the lobby, seen in the body cam footage, the village clerk, who was on the other side of the building, heard the commotion and activated the panic alarm, putting the entire village hall into lockdown. According to court records, DeAngelo was charged with disorderly [music] conduct and resisting obstructing. His case is ongoing and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. His girlfriend, Halsey, was charged with felony battery to a law enforcement officer, resisting obstructing, disorderly conduct, and felony resisting causing substantial bodily harm or soft tissue injury. She took a plea deal, pleading no contest to resisting, obstructing, and disorderly conduct while the other charges were dismissed. She was ordered to pay $1,198 in court costs and fines [music] and was released back into the public. >> She had every right to criticize the police department and to request a formal investigation. Hey, I am the lead attorney offering a little legal perspective with our friends over at Midwest Safety. He did, however, possess an unlimited right to use increasingly aggressive profanity, threaten these officers, and to scream at the top of his lungs about racial retaliation [music] or whatever else. The suspect's girlfriend here was making those same mistakes. You can verbally object. [music] You can record the officers with your phone from a safe distance. You can even call your lawyer. Don't call me. What you cannot do though is physically [music] step in and attempt to stop an arrest simply because you feel like it's unfair. Just make the complaint, preserve the evidence, and fight it out in court, not in the city hall lobby.
