In 2019, on a rainy April night in Sterling Heights, Michigan, 18- year-old Logan Davis had just gotten off work at a sandwich shop and was waiting under a nearby awning for his dad to pick him up and drive him home. A few minutes later, Davis ended up hand-cuffed in the back of a Sterling Heights police cruiser, having been forcibly taken to the ground and arrested for loitering. Davis subsequently sued the City of Sterling Heights and Officer Jeremy Walleman for unlawful arrest in federal court.

This was youtube's reasons for demonetizing this video, after manual review: "Raw footage focused on violent law enforcement; graphic dead bodies in a non-educational video; edited video gameplay that primarily focuses on graphic violence; domestic violence."
It was about the time the original video first came out that I had first started watching YouTube. Took years for the victim to win his right for a day in court against this tyrant. Our system needs to be fixed: justice delayed is justice denied or we're just kidding ourselves.
Does being a Police Officer make people power-mad, or do power-mad people join the Police?
Goes are out of control.
Waiting while black
Sterling Heights city officials have agreed to pay $265,000 to settle a federal lawsuit that accused a police officer of making a wrongful arrest of a young man waiting for his father to pick him up from work. According to a copy of the settlement, the agreement does not admit any liability in
City of Sterling heights, pays $265.000 for this young man, to settle a federal lawsuit, September 2023.
It was reported yesterday that the City of Sterling Heights settled this case out of court for an undisclosed amount. It was rumored that the amount of the award was $266k.
Power trip cop
ANY UPDATES?
This cop should be obligated to spend a year in the general population of a medium security prison after being fired from this police department then barred from ever being an LEO. Once he saw the young man's shirt and work credential, he should have told the kid to have a good night. actually, he should have checked back to see if he'd been picked up or was still safely waiting for his dad. This cop somehow missed the memo that they are supposed to look after the law-abiding, not hassle them.
When is not giving id disorderly conduct
This cop has played to much GTA! He thought the kid had a fake firehouse subs shirt made so he could break into a BBQ restaurant.
This cop is a sadist. He likely had an orgasm when he generated terror and fear on the face of his victim.
I really hope this young man wins his lawsuit and I hope the cop gets fired he was way out of line
Here's a tiny thought: Mandatory Gummit Highschool classes in 10,11., 12th grades on Civil Rights to graduate. ? CRT ? "Constitutional Responsibility Throughput".
Arming these people and sending them out on society is stupid. These people should stay in jail were they belong.
Like sayinf ID 50 times would make it any different. Sense he is a minor. Does he have any obligation to answer any question without a parent present…
Also; is it true that these cops never heard of a teenager waiting for a ride? This was a good kid who was doing nothing wrong. How did it come to this? Refrigerator IQ?
The cop earns his money by enforcing the law. But he don’t know the law. Just how dumb do you have to be; to be a cop?
Wow, he really needs that id-fix bad! I didn't know that its is so addictive.
What ID DO THEY WANT. If you have no Drivers License?
Cops across the nation are getting an intervention to I.D. addiction thanks to cell phone cameras and body cams transparency is a key to good policing
We need the same in government; city, county, state, and federal
Thank you for your content and tireless work your my favorite hillbilly
This young man showed tremendous courage in the face of a tyrannical bully
"All you had to do was give me your ID" no proof any crime has been committed, the teen explained his actions to dispell any suspicions, but this cop wanted to beat on someone and this was the first person he saw who thought he would be of no resistance (a lawsuit). Pathetic. All this for loitering?? How was the ID going to prove he was not loitering? Last time I checked loitering was not an arrestable offense.
05/24/2023 the 6th district's court of appeals rejected the officer's appeal for his qi
This guy definitely beats his wife. " I told you to wash the dishes! That's all you had to do!"
I love just outside Sterling hts and I’m glad you covered this. I eat at that sub shop!
The Police need to have personal Insurance just like a Doctor!
And his name would determine if he is loitering how?
ID won't tell you he works there, dumbass.
Another example why cops, judges and politicians shouldn't have QI
Jeeezuz Christ…That was excessive…
The cop was promoted to the K-9 unit and given a dog to patrol with. They hope the officer will stay out of trouble now he has a partner who is smarter than he is.
Hope those cops feel proud of being a jerk and a horrible police officer and will forever be shamed on the net.
These cops are putting too much manpower into investigating "loitering."
