Police misconduct lawyer addresses the current state of affairs

1. Ah, the LOVE of a cat's curiosity!! Lol 😊 Sorry for posting about your adorable little cat. I needed to, to keep from BAWLING. As a mother, if I found out MY SON or DAUGHTER had been assaulted so bad that either were in a coma, AFTER BRAIN SURGERY, BY THE SURGEON and NOT BY THE LEO's that ASSAULTED THEM….. I WOULD GO BALLISTIC!!! My heart goes out to this elderly mother and the UNNECESSARY LOSS of her son. 😢 I CAN'T WAIT to hear it ANY UPDATES!

2. This isn't worth much but my Condolences to the mom. No parent should out live their children or be witness to their last days at the hands of someone else especially a police officer. I watch these videos and makks my blood boil. I feel like so many are so blind to what the Government is doing. It's not rocket science to see the plan is to take away our rights a little at a time. Too many times we so many Municipal Judges get it wrong in their court room. They set the Constitution aside or they take the cops word over the video and evidence. Trump love him or hate him what is going with these court case are a miscarriage of Justice. It should alarm every citizen to think the Government doesn't need a crime. Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime is now our Government. ((

3. 💔

4. I care. And I understand the Apathy. We have a case that is beyond proven documented by body cam brazen emails of police courts in 3 counti s Governor of abuse of power. They have harassed and hurt my family. I will see what if my son will email you the drive hundreds of filings. Fortunately there was no death or beating but having. False arrest fabricated evidence false restraining orders and children sent back to abuser and can’t get them out. And I feel th same now. Where were you when I need you and case is not resolved . This video expresses exactly how I feel. Thank you for all you do.

5. Every one should follow this guy he tells it like it is

6. This is what' I've always said police investigation police never no wronge doing with in policy's

7. This is what happened to my sister in West Virginia

8. John, I believe that when the time is right you should run for office in WV.

9. How do you think creating another government agency to police the police how much more taxes would you need to do that and what makes you think they wouldn’t be immediately corrupt in favor of cops

10. WV is 92% white.

11. What is an effective number to call?

12. You should have more views I never comment I live on YouTube enjoy your videos man

13. The video camera in every pocket seems to be the only thing capable of fighting police corruption and of holding police accountable. What you're complaining about goes back thousands of years but it's finally time to end the abuse.

14. Corruption always!

15. West Virginia not for lovers, Virginia is for dirty violent cops.

16. yes we can blame the Police force, they teach the violence, they teach “its us against them” they teach how to lie, they teach the immoral conduct, they teach how to cover up, they teach never never turn in a cop and how to protect a cop. Go thur officer training… They the government is teaching this behavior….THEY HIRE ONLY THE LOSERS OR BULLIES, NO EDUCATION, UNEDUCATED UNINTELLIGENT THUGS. Cops should have a mental evaluations, look at the grades, look at the history, and should be type B personality.

17. This is true, cops are the sickest citizens in society that live and love the violence, the badge giving the police to destroy/ murder/ kill citizens knowing that cops are protected by cops, Capt, DA and Judges. All cops are pure evil. Never Never trust a cop.

18. I care about all of them….

19. My heart hurts for James mother and can't imagine what she went through

20. I feel for the situation and there needs to be a completely seperate commission to investigate police brutality, misconduct, etc. I agree. IA is a joke and copaganda blinds us into thinking everyone hates IA because they're snitches when they're usually useless because they aren't.

    I do not agree with your statements concerning a lack of institutionalized racism and I think that detracted from your very strong message. I do not add this for other commentors to attack me or to virtue signal. All murders committed by police brutality, misconduct, or just being fucking stupid and shitty, should have coverage and attention and justice.

    We also need better MEs. All medical and scientific investigatory processes, be it an autopsy, running prints, ballistics, etc, should be done without bias towards police. Frankly, they should be blind processes and only necessary information should be shared.

    (I'd also like to add that statutes of limitations need adjusting so that if necessary information such as C.o.D. is needed, the clock stops so that institutions cannot drag it out past the statute. We already have certain versions of this regarding crimes against minors.)

    I hope this family gets some sort of justice. I don't know if it was just he and his mother or if there are more people who loved him. It shouldn't matter. If he was a John Doe, it should still get proper attention and justice.

    I'm proud to have a friend working with the Institute for Justice on ending qualified immunity as it stands. I dont remember that coming up in this video but there's been other comments about it. And cops that use queer slurs (queer only being one if used that way, I'm queer and we have a lot that gets thrown at us), racial slurs, misogynistic (often used against men, men are hurt by misogyny as well), should be investigated for prejudicial policing and hate crime penalties to be added to their brutality investigation. Regardless, any officer proven to use slurs on the job – especially in contact with the public – should be stuck to a desk and retrained on how to not be an asshole. Professional conduct, I mean. And whoever would not let you take pictures should have been taken to court. If you were a detective that'd be obstruction of justice. It still should have been. You needed to document the state of your client in order to advocate for justice for him. The only one who should have had a say would be next of kin and that becomes moot when a crime is occurring and or to preserve evidence of a crime.

    I fucking hate hospitals that cover for people that do this shit. So many times I think of one of several scenarios in which I should have found a way to sue or report or something, for hospital misconduct. Like when my dad woke up 2 days after his double bypass in an xray bay, no paper work, no xray orders, no one there. An orderly passing in the hall found him. No one ever told us how he got there but 3 weeks later we were back in the hospital because the amount of pain he felt was atypical. Turns out 2 staples had come loose. I believe the surgeon knew about it. Possibly even had a second xray done to see if he could risk covering it up. He was yelling at my dad for coughing too hard – because of the pain, his breathing was week and he had 2 liters of fluid on his chest. I coached him through every excercise and he had a nurse visiting at home. The surgeon fucked up and had a screaming match with a man who had stress induced angina 4 weeks after a double bypass. It was like he wanted my had to have an aortic aneurysm. It was so obviously bullshit the firefighter in the bed beside my dad gave him his number in case he filed a suit.

    I dont know where that came from. I guess I wanted part of my dad's story out there too. He passed 18months ago today. The step down program didn't think a bedridden man should have both compression boots and blood thinners. A clot dislodged from his leg and stopped his heart. Three minutes. That's how long the code was. But it was too long. He held on for hours once the machines were off. I have to think he was still there at the end because God he'd never wanted to live more. He had a grandson he hadn't met yet because of covid and my sister living a state away. He had a granddaughter that gave him meaning he lost a long time ago. He wanted to watch them grow, to see them become people in their own right, to convince them to go to UofM because daddy was a Wolverine and the campus is just over an hour away instead of 10 hours like now. God I miss him.

    I hope you found some justicevor at the very least his mother found a bit of peace, however that may be.

    Added: My dad fought his whole life for people that needed a champion. It wasn't virtue signaling. At 6, he swung his pocket constitution around to defend a classmates speech. They both got paddled. In middle school, the shops (car production plants) got out just before his school. Half the students had to cross a street with no light, stop sign, cross walks, or crossing guard. He petitioned the school board, at age 12, for the school day to be move up 30 minutes or pushed back, so the students wouldn't be in as much danger of being hit by cars. He was told a flat No. He petitioned the city council for a light to be put up and with it a cross walk. He was told no. He revised his petition so it was for a stop sign and crossing guard. He got a stop sign (he was in high school by then but less students got hit by cars, eventually) but was told a crossing guard is for the school board. He worked for a presidential campaign in high school, got security clearance by the secret service (or through?) and made such an impression, the candidate remembered him every time he came to Michigan – we're a battleground state so that was often. And he remembered him 4 years later as incumbent. When my dad got hired by the post office, he was once again faced with a half hour problem buff in that his work started too early to drop us off and he got off work about 20 minutes after the school let out. So he fought the school board and got a latch key program set up. The first week, there was over a dozen children. It was a much needed program. Time and time again he stood up against teachers that were doing things outside their perview (one teacher taught us lies about a presidential candidate such as if so and so became president, he'd close all the schools, trying to get us to pressure parents on how they vote).

    He stood up for students, for vets, for the homeless, for civil rights. That's my dad's legacy. But no one will remember that or him. Everyday, actions are taken by people. Don't get upset by the people. Your gripe is with the institutions. With media. Hell, a network could form where all it is is 24hrs of cop misconduct. From all over the country.
