22 year-old Paul was sitting outside the CVS store where he works in Edgewater, FL, sitting on a bench waiting for a ride using the Lyft app. Edgewater Police Department Officer Daniel Rippeon observed Paul and concluded that he looked suspicious. No crime had been committed. No crime had been alleged by anyone to have been committed. Yet Paul was almost immediately seized and threatened with being tased and bitten by a police K9. He was taken to jail, despite the fact that Officer Rippeon was fully aware that Paul was a store employee waiting for a Lyft driver.

"Those who seek positions of power – cops, judges, politicians, CEOs, etc. – are PSYCHOPATHS! They see a reality that no one else sees and will bend every effort to make OUR reality conform to THEIRS. What's more frightening, this psychopathy is CONTAGIOUS!" – Andrew Lobashewski
Lie! How is he hiding behind a pillar when the bench isn’t behind the pillar. He did say he was sitting down. Sounds like he disrespected his authority and he got butt hurt.
New Jack! With rage issues.
This guy did nothing. The cop lied and said he was hiding. This cop is a liar and should lose his job. File lawsuit get that bag.
LEO doesnt know how to handle a weapon.
So no papers jail? Nazi America. We let it happen too.
god the ego..and the lying.
Ugh. This is so disappointing. This is why some people are afraid of all cops. 😕
Imagine how he treats his family.
That cop is a liar, and a liability
No wonder crime is high on some states across the usa. The cops are too busy harassing and arresting civilians 💀 bros are casually out there creating bogus criminal records to feed the system. Job security i guess 💀
Legend has it, Officer Crooked used to be a yellow cab driver.
Don’t ever talk to cops. Am I being detained or am I under arrest. I plead the 5th to any questioning and I do not concern to any searches. Then be quiet only asking if you are free to go if they can’t say you are detained.
There’s a level of disrespect from the officer that suggests he’s a massive arsehole. More seriously, it directly affects the ability of him safely doing his job. The guy needs to find alternative employment.
What a disgusting person he is. Abusing power while being fed by the American people.
The Caucasoid.
The lawsuit is going to make him set up for a good future. As far this stupid young officer, his future will be flipping burgers.
Even the way the officer is holding his handgun , sideways like a criminal . What a pos
This is America now…congratulations, hope you all are proud!
