In this powerful reaction video, DrJudge delves into a disturbing incident captured on dash and body cam footage, where Des Moines Police Officer Kyle Thies, alongside Officer Natalie Heinemann, pulls over two young Black men—Montray Little and Jared Clinton—on July 15, 2018. The officers' actions during this stop have raised serious concerns about racial profiling within the Des Moines Police Department. Key Moments Analyzed: Unwarranted Accusations: Officer Thies immediately implies the vehicle is stolen and accuses the occupants of possessing weapons and drugs, despite no evidence to support these claims. Unjustified Detention: Montray Little is handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car without probable cause, while Officer Heinemann questions the passenger, Jared Clinton, in a manner that appears to distract from the ongoing search. Lack of Evidence: After a thorough search, no weapons or drugs are found, yet Officer Thies continues to press for an admission of marijuana use, which both individuals deny. Historical Context: Data from the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (CCI) reveals that in 2017, Officer Thies booked 282 individuals into the Polk County Jail, with a significant percentage being Black, raising questions about potential systemic bias. Community Response: The Iowa CCI has condemned the officers' actions, highlighting the broader issue of racial profiling in Des Moines. They argue that such incidents not only violate individuals' rights but also erode trust between law enforcement and the community. Legal Insights: As a criminal defense attorney, I provide an analysis of the legal aspects of this case, discussing the rights of individuals during traffic stops and the importance of accountability in law enforcement. At the end the officer says... "I feel like I've missed something". YES, officer, you missed the APOLOGY to this young man!
