Details/Case Law: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2025/01/22/lazy-cops-make-a-youtube-video-about-wrongfully-arresting-a-janitor/
Two police officers in Asheville, North Carolina, violently arrested a beloved local 63 year-old janitor after receiving a false report from the local Subaru dealership that one of their cars was being used without authorization. Louis Searles, the janitor, sees the officers looking at a car outside the building where he works. He had observed the woman who was driving the vehicle, so he walked up to the officers and told then where the woman was (in a local business called "Thrive," which is in the building where he works as a janitor. Instead of going and locating that woman, they decided to violently arrest the janitor.
The video the cops made: https://youtu.be/TnxWJ8nuEkA?si=x0k88f_HfdcPAYLm
You are all Big bad boys behind that gun and badge.. come play with some real boys
Pardon my ignorance, but id this now citable case law?
The fact that the cops are dumbfounded about the law doesn't give them the right to play cops are robbers as the see fit
He didn't just walk off. I'm sure I heard him say that he was just going in to get the woman.
Thank you.
Coward bastards
How stupid and cowardly do you have to be to draw a gun on an empty car
I hope the janitor sues and files a complaint.
Please tell us he is able to sue these pos's and retire
10 million..nothing less
Sue the car dealership and the police officers. Not just the Police it is on Subaru for making false reports. I wish the police where I am were so diligent.
racially profiled him
can the Subaru dealership get sued as well for the false police report that started this ?
if they acted within policy the chief of police needs to be sued as well for misconduct for a policy that violates constitutional rights
Stop calling them heroes underservedly
if police start getting held accountable for their own bad behavior. these incidents will decrease exponentially
Threatening and assaulting an innocent member of the public , and not doing a proper investigation is grounds for dismissal.
Apparently cops can do whatever they want, but they can also go to court and get sued. You dont have to talk to the police and dont have to help with their investigations
When will 18 USC 242 actually be prosecuted?
Yet ANOTHER fine example prime example of why the cops make it so that we should just not deal with cops! The poor guy goes to try and help and what does he get? Then the department doubles down and let's the whole community know what they are in for. It's reasonable suspicion OF A CRIME having been, about to be, or to be committed. Not JUST reasonable suspicion. Jesus, what to do they actually teach these people at the academy? Really?
Sociopaths and idiots become cops. End qualified immunity.
I would return the car and not want it anymore if the dealership reported my car stolen
They officers will say the crime is 'obstruction!" I know, we know that's bs.. but that's what the cops will use to, at minimum, try to detain or arrest the guy to hem him up in an attempt to get what they want. Sure the person will win in court but that's days weeks months later. In the here & now the person is put out. Yeah
There needs to be far less training on take downs, and add many many hours on the law!!!!!
Huh?! I go to the Asheville, NC Police dept website only to find reviews are turned off and 0 reviews have been left prior. How does one redress their grievances with their government like this? Is this legal? Why would they not want the funeral citizens of their State & Country to leave reviews? I find that rather odd! My right to redress can be blocked or is limited to 'in-person?'
Was he detained or under arrest ?
Was it a consensual conversation?
Was he going back to work?
BLACK PEOPLES………..*FOR THE LAST TIME DO NOT CONVERSE WITH ANY COP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES* they are not your friends! Nor do they support your interests!! Stop talking to cops and calling the cops!
The car was held in gunpoint and detained for resistance…
Both these idiot cops need to be in prison for breaking their oath of office !!
How and why was the car reported?
It's America…🤡🤡
Cop logic: I am here and you are here, I am the cop, you are the criminal. Play😂
No! Unreasonably! And they will keep doing because there is no consequences at the end of the day!!!
Did the cops act appropriately? Uh, that would be a hell no. Common sense seems to be completely absent in almost all officers these days. They are feared and universally deceitful. We can’t even trust the FBI these days. Whoever thought that could become possible.
I have the feeling that in the USA, they recruit individuals into the police force who are emotionally and socially behind others. These people, who have been bullied and mistreated during their childhood, now seek to join the police force to feel safe with a gun at their side, and in a way, to seek revenge on society for their past mistreatment.
I hope he sues and takes all their pensions.
Can we get a law that says if cops brake laws we the people can arrest and brake there qualified immunity.
This is why you can not trust any cop ever.
wild gang pigs
He clearly said when he was at the door that he was going to get the owner. So they tased him…
Lawsuit city😢
Trump has unleased his proud dogs on the blue gang interesting times.
The second he pulled his gun I knew this cop was a coward and incompetent. If you're that afraid of a potentially stolen car or civilians then you probably shouldn't be a cop.
The more I watch these cases I realise that many officers are not bright enough to be in the job. Standards need to be raised to protect the public from abuse.
When you think that they can't get anymore dumb, they have to prove you wrong
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this channel went away completely like the River Monsters TV show?
They ran out of giant fish in rivers, Ran Out of Content.
Unfortunately for American Justice and the American People, it doesn't look like we will be running out of bad cops breaking the law and violating the Constitution any time soon.
Get rid of "Qualified immunity" and this would stop overnight
It a he'll do mind set.
