Silvester Hayes, a 27-year-old father, found himself in a shocking and distressing situation when Dallas police pulled him over while he was driving to get food for his children in October 2021. Body camera footage from the incident reveals a case of mistaken identity, as officers confused Hayes with a wanted domestic violence suspect due to the similar spellings of their first names. Despite Hayes’ attempts to clarify the situation, the encounter quickly escalated into a violent arrest, leaving him traumatized and facing unwarranted consequences.

When you run a plate it's gonna come back with the correct spelling. The officer just need to admit that they typed the wrong name in the system.
I REMEBER THIS VIDEO. THESE COPS WERE ABSOLUTE PRICKS AND GRAB HIM UP FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASONS OR CRIMES
Starting in 2025, Police will get to do this without even pretending to make up bogus charges after.
You can't resist arrest if there isn't a reason for you to be arrested period
Why does officers like Walter Paul Guab enjoy destroying honest peoples' lives? If anyone knows him please ask how he's able to go to sleep at night, I sure find it interesting.
HOWEVER, just being calmed and explaining would have cleared him out!!! Instead of acting like a N4.STY BEACH!!!! Both suspects were SYLVESTER!!! Please…
They could have killed this man for no reason and then say wrong man
After all this man went through it was just another injustice that this channel doxxed his name & DOB… which they should have beeped-out. It's why I rarely watch this channel. I rarely watch this channel for their lack of responsibility to the victims. Name & DOB are all a criminal needs for identity theft.
The state is organized violence and any support of it is immoral???:
Why don't we start using the same force against them as they use against us?? This is what you get for voting paying n obeying!! Then we gotta be forced to pay the lawsuit too??? Is this public service?? We should all be ashamed of ourselves for allowing any of this!!!!
Pinoy pa ata yung isang pulis?
Cant be justified…
They dont have the brains and the attitude for the job. You see it all over the country, so it Will last for over 50 or 100 years. Too bad for the victims
These cops are liars 🤮🤮🤮
These officers should be jailed. This is absolutely ridiculous and humiliating. Very unprofessional 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Looks like standard police protocol and procedure☕️
"Right Pocket he had a gun & he's goin like this!" He left out Right hand he had a lit Cigarette he was smoking 🚬
That cop is a liar he said the guy was acting weird🥶🥶😂😂
They are still arresting him becouse he’s acting like a damn fool instead of staying calm and talking through tit
at 18:34 this guy tried acting like wanting an answer to why your going to the backseat of a cop car during a traffic stop is crazy so instead of giving him the answer they started forcing him out the car 🤦🏾♂️
I definitely feel for him, but if he just complied and stepped out and did everything they would have eventually realized…. not making excuses for the officer at all ; but resisting will literally accomplish nothing. The cops won't just suddenly stop if they believe they are in the right. If it was unlawful, we have a remedy. COURT. So just put up with the crap, and then sue like crazy!
America the land of the free
NEANDERTHALS just being the devil they are
bro that is disgusting, pure disgust
Police
Should sue them individually personally
So they just seen a similar name and just reacted without making sure.
This poor man i feel his pain
Here we go again
the most democratic country in the world they said
This is why cops can’t be trusted. I grew up trusting cops, and now I know that was wrong. They get off on doing this stuff.
Horrible! When will they ever stop???
Excellent lier to get out of Trouble Great Job To Protect And Serve 🙄🥹😤
Scary
Embarrassing and Disgusting
I know this is months ago. But this is EXACTLY why we should fear the cops
