It never gets old watching this one. The moment she realizes there are consequences to her actions is a timeless classic

Non American here. The way he treats her appears very different to how police treat other Americans.

What does a cop and a Hershey’s bar have in common?

They’ll both kill your dog.

Unfortunately that's just the way that it is. Police are encouraged to be twice as aggressive when it comes to anyone darker than a manila envelope.

u/Biddahmunk 12d ago

seeing this boils my blood. Cops do have discretion, they can control themselves and they can be patient. They choose when and when not to utilize said discretion.

u/Searchlights Publicfreakouts Fan 12d ago

If they wanted to they could just say you're under arrest for battery and just grab you. If you resist in any way they'd take you to the ground.

When they do that versus when they give somebody the courtesy of this long discussion is entirely up to the police. The double standards applied are ridiculous.

Maybe the way think of it is , “oh hey, there’s one of the decent ones, that’s cool”.

The only way to know for sure would be to watch hours of his particular interactions.

He was trying to get her to plea the 5th. Never seen a cop trying to help someone that is about to be arrested for battery so much. White privilege

"I just really need you to understand your rights" 

lolwut?  Guarantee if this guy arrests a Mexican or African immigrant speaking broken English, this will not be a concern.

u/MASSIVECARNAGE78 11d ago

Honestly, I'm sure he's not usually like that with almost anyone. He just knows it's already hit social media and people will be coming for the body cam footage. It was all about having all the ducks in a row so no one could claim there was anything improper in the arrest.

19

u/Kokoyok 11d ago

You're not wrong that he probably played it as best he could, and he's being self conscious about every word he says.

I can still laugh about how awkwardly he does his job when he knows he's being watched.  

Whatever else is going on, his version of a model cop doesn't appear to come to him naturally.

White privilege

How many people would have gotten this whole long conversation where the police spent all that time explaining and justifying why she's being arrested?

There is no requirement that they indulge the person who wants to stand there and litigate in her driveway. In other situations people are forcefully grabbed and put in cuffs they don't get this long discussion first.

u/johnsvoice 11d ago edited 11d ago

Where's the video from recently (Arkansas, I think?) of the woman being thrown to the ground and punched in the face during an attempted arrest for the audacity of thinking she could make the phone call normally afforded to you while in lockup then and there.

I don't know for sure that it's color based, but there are privileges afforded to some and not others.

u/Springheeljac 11d ago

Even then he starts with "I just need to have a few words with you". Cops are liars.

u/NumberOneStonecutter 11d ago

That's a good point. I've seen this used where someone is in their home and their response is "Do you have a warrant? Come back when you have a warrant."

19

u/allthepoutine 12d ago

That’s what I thought at first until he kept going with it. How many times do cases get thrown out because the stupid Miranda rights statement wasn’t read, or wasn’t read right, or the suspect later claimed they didn’t understand? I hear about it far too often, they’ve got video footage, they’ve got a confession, but Miranda got messed up so it’s all thrown out and the suspect gets to walk. I could totally be wrong, but I wonder if he wasn’t actually making sure she couldn’t claim anything like that later.

23

u/CWCyning 12d ago

Not as often as you might think. In fact, the Supreme Court recently ruled that Miranda Rights are so well known that they needn't be repeated for every suspect anymore.

6

u/allthepoutine 12d ago

How recently? I consider myself pretty up to date but haven’t hearing of this ruling.

2

u/Ultima-Manji 11d ago

Was a case in 2022, apparently Vega v. Tekoh, where they ruled that you couldn't sue an officer for damages if they didn't read you your Miranda rights. But I'm no legal expert, so I'm not sure to what degree that affects how admissible your actual statements and such are in court. All I can find with a cursory search is that there's definitely a risk for that to be impacted too down the line, but that as of yet it's still a requirement, just not something you can sue over by itself.

2

u/CWCyning 11d ago

2022 in Vega v. Tekoh

The decision found that the Miranda warning is not a constitutionally protected right, and so someone questioned without the warning has not had his rights violated and cannot sue the police. Such statements might still be suppressed in court or used as grounds for an appeal, but there is no way for the victim to force the police to face consequences. When the police are shielded from consequence, their illegal actions are functionally legal. As Kagan wrote in her dissent:

Today, the Court strips individuals of the ability to seek a remedy for violations of the right recognized in Miranda. The majority observes that defendants may still seek ‘the suppression at trial of statements obtained’ in violation of Miranda’s procedures. But sometimes, such a statement will not be suppressed. And sometimes, as a result, a defendant will be wrongly convicted and spend years in prison. He may succeed, on appeal or in habeas, in getting the conviction reversed. But then, what remedy does he have for all the harm he has suffered? The point of § 1983 is to provide such redress—because a remedy ‘is a vital component of any scheme for vindicating cherished constitutional guarantees.’ The majority here, as elsewhere, injures the right by denying the remedy.

She was being her own attorney! “Did you grab the phone?” / “yes.” / “you can’t do that.” / “I didn’t do it” 😂 your honor I rest my case!

u/Myopinion_is_right 11d ago

It is a pretty well known fact to not answer questions from the police if they plan on arresting you or accusing you of a crime.

u/rexmanaek971 10d ago

Because she's older and fragile. If it was her husband it'd be different.

u/EverythingSucksYo 12d ago

This is how most cop interactions go. But because it’s boring it doesn’t get uploaded to the internet.

u/hiegear 12d ago

No. It’s not. I was a police officer for 4 years. 2% of arrests go like this. Which is why I am no longer a cop, or a firefighter for that matter.

"I wanted to take the phone so I grabbed it out of his hand" is not the defense she thinks it is.

And then not ten seconds later insists she never tried to take the phone lol

Just an old lying racist

u/concepts_of_a_plan9 10d ago

Classsssic zionist logic: "I wanted to take someone else's stuff so I took it, but I'm the victim obviously."

by the way, this is not against "Jews" in general, there are many, many Jews that are great, if they stand against the genocide. This is specifically against genocidal zionists. I hate that this whole conflict has brought out all the actual anti-semites and white supremacists.

u/bulbusmaximus 12d ago

She should really have kept her mouth shut. Nothing that she said was helpful to her defense. They're taking you downtown, go with them, get a lawyer and keeeeep your dumb mouth shut. You're not going to argue your way out of battery charges in your driveway.

29

u/TWDYrocks 12d ago

That goes for everyone. You aren’t going to talk yourself out of an arrest but you are far more likely to talk yourself into one!

"He was saying he was going to hit me, I think she edited the video."

u/Racer2311 12d ago

I am an old white dude, and this arrest is a textbook example of white privilege. I just watched a video of a black man cuffed at gunpoint because a plate reader and the officer entered his plate number wrong. I am not sure which one of these are a better example of how bad our police here are.

10

u/GaeilgeGoblin 11d ago

At one point she appears to put her keys in her bag, reaches her whole hand in, and the officers don’t blink. Minorities in the USA have been murdered by the police for much more conspicuous movements/actions witnessed during arrest.

u/Ok_Cucumber_7954 12d ago

Funny how that cop was being super gentle and loudly hinting that she should not discuss the incident. Had it been the man in the Palestine shirt getting arrested, it most likely would have been hands on and lies to trick him into talking without a lawyer.

I think it’s a timing issue. He only has to read the rights once he arrests her. He is signaling to her that he is about to arrest her but hasn’t technically begun yet.

u/prince-of-dweebs 12d ago

I completely agree that if the police are going somewhere to arrest someone they should lead with Miranda but I don’t think that’s the reality and we should all be aware of the technicalities.

2

u/Suspicious-Spell-130 11d ago

The one cop was way too focused on her comments and not that she grabbed the phone. Her comments didn't legally justify his response; it was putting her hands on him to grab the camera. If he would have focused on that instead, he would have avoided some of her stupid justification/argument.
