Gastonia PD tried to keep us out of last night's city council meeting, but it backfired and the media showed up to cover us outside, so they ended up letting us come in to speak (one at a time). My speech to the council is on my channel.
The reason they're fighting so hard to kill this story is twofold: first, Maurice Taylor III is the officer who tased Sunshine and arrested Joshua , and his father Maurice Taylor Jr. is the head of Internal Affairs. Second, this incident is part of a long standing pattern of abuse of homeless people and veterans in Gastonia, and they do not want the public to know that. Which, of course, is even more reason the public needs to know.
We are going back every month until they do the right thing.
I'm all for Joshua getting justice for Sunshine that he deserves but you guys are going after the wrong govt entities. Go after the lawmakers in NC and get them to make police bodycams mandatory and for public view if a request is made. From my understanding the corrupt judge there denied every request made and publicly made Facebook comments on this case on Gastonia PD site.
Seems like the cop pic should at least have disclaimer that he's not the cop
The police are the enemy of the people.
Feels like Post confederate states are more corrupt, secretive, and tyrannical.
Keep going. Screw these tyrants
Please Don't touch the wires lol
"Records Department", is that the first name, or the surname?
I know I won't cry when pigs in America end up penniless and replace by robots.
Zachary put his own self out there..lol
Thank you for your courage James!
Hung up on three times and now it just rings twice and drops. Been trying for days. Looks like they KNOW they stepped in it!
Yes James I'm only half blind but I can clearly see that the stock video is not of the homeless man..the homeless man has long gray/ or blonde hair..
Howdy doody donuts just got butt hurt over the whole thing ..😄😅ðŸ˜ðŸ’©ðŸ˜‚🤣
When they won't release the video, it's because it absolutely shows them as the bad guys.
We need them to realize that as bad as the truth is, what we assume is probably worse.
And that video only exposed a few bad cops. Hiding it exposes the entire department.
James, please take the video down, it impugns me even though I have not ever been employed by any gang before.
Omg, keep up the good work, these clowns are ridiculous.
I am going to send in a records requests for the body cam,
Well James,sounds like it's the picture you used is in fact the actual police officer who tazed the homeless man s dog..and he's butt hurt!!
BRAVO JAMES FREEMAN!!🤣🥰
I do sorta see why he thinks u putting his picture in the video would make it seem like he was the one who did it. I’m so on ur side, and so appreciate ur work, I see ur point of view. But to put a picture of the man exactly at the time you mention the details off the arrest… I have a bit of understanding. That being said, I know a bunch of people from Gastonia, and they think Gastonia police are super corrupt.
Streisand effect in action though.
We should get a refund from those public servants they are not doing what the people are paying for. All in my opinion. 🇺🇸✊🻠good work freeman.
