20-year-old Brandon Ellingson died while in custody of a man who was sworn to protect and serve. Now, that officer finds himself on the other side of the law, leaving a grieving father to confront Anthony Piercy, the man responsible for his death. Jason Mattera has the story for Crime Watch Daily.

I am convinced the trooper killed Brandon in a fit of rage. . He puts the life vest on wrong which was meant to prevent drowning, exceeds the speed limit in choppy waters at least 35 mph over allowing this poor kid to be thrown around in the boat , the victim falls out of the boat and then trooper fails to attempt a rescue. FAILED FAILED and more FAILED at his job terribly. This dirty cop was trying to kill Brandon intentionally. He called him a bastard while rescuers attempted to search for this mans body. I think he was so pissed off that he had to do his job and did not care what happened in the end and even did all of these things to ensure the victim died. Why would anyone jump out of a boat to drown???? Brandon was sitting next to the trooper in the front seat. The victims body had brusing on it prior to death. How did the cop not see anything until it was too late? What was the sloppy rush all about? The trooper was mad and exerted his authority . He just figured if Brandon makes it he does and if not I will cover it up. This is disgusting and justice was not served at all for Brandon or his family.
Cops are treated different and that’s a fact
They hate holding cops responsible. That’s ridiculous! My heart goes out to this family.
What a handsome kid! This is so fuked up! That trooper knows what he did & he has to live with grad guilt! Even if no one else punished him.. he’s punished 4Life!!!!
Why tf would he jump in the water cuffed??! Really???? TF!!!!!!!
Randi Henry, your a hero. God Bless you. The killer cop, Anthony Pierson need life in prison, so help us God, justice for Brandon.
Fat piece of crap couldn’t save him because he was too out of shape
I Love how Jason confronted the POOR EXCUSE OF a man!!!!!!!! As a Mother to four Sons my Heart goes out to the Family, I truly hope they get the JUSTICE they so truly DESERVE!!!!!!!
This Sick , Evil Cop should be locked under the jail & EVERYONE THAT COVERED IT UP SHOULD BE TOO, SO SICK OF THESE EVIL COPS , THAT GIVE ALL COPS A BAD NAME & TO LAUGH ABOUT HIM BEING DEAD!! I WATCHED & HEARD THIS WITH MY OWN EARS ON THE CALL IN THE POLICE/ STATE TROOPERS OFFICE NEWS RELEASE,,,, THE ONES DOING THAT & THE SATAN'S SPAWN THAT MURDERED HIM , SHOULD NEVER GET OUT OF PRISON, THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN LIFE W/NO POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE, PERIOD!!! SO VERRY SORRY FOR THIS FAMILY'S EXTREME LOSS 🙁
💧❤️💀🐷🐷🐷
Cop is a scumbag a real piece of shit. That poor kid drowned because he had no way of treading water until the cop was able to pick him up. I hope this lowlife gets what he deserves and once he is in jail let the other inmates have a field day with him.
This is outlandish and ridiculous talk about s slap on the hand and no remorse or accountability! This makes me so upset and distraught that men in blue get this mild of a punishment!!!!
Wow and he keeps his job.
I'd like to give that piece of dried snot of a judge a choice while holding a gun to his head. He can either choose to be handcuffed behind the back and thrown into the lake to drown or have one of his beloved family members manacled and drowned while he watched. He treated the tragic, senseless death of one of Gods children as if it were a misdemeanor. This group of thugs, both police and judicial is giving this grieving family just one gut punch after another. These humble, decent, respectful people have shown nothing but class, humility and luckily for this band of pigmen, the patience of Job..
Unbelievable! What are police supposed to do? Serve & PROTECT! He didn’t give a crap or he would have had Brandon’s arms IN THE ARM OPENINGS!. He would have had a chance then. First mistake. And he should have gotten his big fat a$$ in the water getting Brandon. Second mistake. Lying is third mistake. Making fun of the guys death, fourth mistake. And the final mistake? 10 days in day! Just friggin 10! I’ve seen actual accidents where they made one mistake & they get 7-10 years in jail. All b/c he’s a wanna be cop. And that judge is a disgrace to the judicial system! I hope it works out for the parents. This ‘cop’ isn’t fit for duty & to serve the public!
'BASTARD'…PIERCY IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR CALLOUSNESS & INHUMANITY TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVE…ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS A SECURED PENSION…
This is heartbreaking R.I.P Brandon 😥
Im overweight ok so don't take this the wrong way, but shouldn't there be a fitness requirment for this kind of job? There is no way I would trust that man to be able to save his own self let alone someone else. Plus the way he behaved after the fact, I would have been completely in shock and deeply hurt that I couldn't save him. I would have felt terrible and he did not. At the very least he shouldn't be able to work as law enforcement anymore.
JUSTICE IS A "JUST US" EXCEPTION WHEN A COP'S INVOLVED. Arrests Brandon for disobeying the law, trooper breaks the law. Brandon gets death, cop gets a slap on the wrist…which incidently slaps the hell out of his parents!! His family is devastated & suffers immensely. Cop keeps his job. He files false police report, a felony. Kills a kid, a felony. Brandon was sentenced to death…carried out immediately. Cop gets life…goes on living life as if nothing ever happened. GOD will bring down HIS vengeance one day
Damn they got millions
If Pericy was truly sorry he would accept the consequences and voluntarily take the death penalty.
"To Protect and Serve " Piercy does not understand the oath he took he is a lazy incompetent excuse of a human being. He should be serving time behind bars. Makes me sick how the system works
The parents should have forced the prosecutor to never agree to the plea deal & take the chances with the jury. It is a very minor consolation that the cop will have to live with it for the rest of his life.
What the fuck? If that was us we'd get manslaughter and 20 years.
Why does the judge and criminal cop look like relatives .
Even white aren’t saved
That man should went to jail he killed him/Did not try to save him
fat pig
He should have been locked up for the rest of his life!
You can tell Chris Hansen is a drunk now
Oh God that fat bastard didnt even try saving the kid
The fact that cops make more based on how many tickets they write should tell you something about our capitalist system. The police force make money based on how many tickets they write. Prisons make money based on how many prisoners they take in. Is this logical? Does the profit motive belong in these sectors of the economy ? Does the profit motive make sense here? He went faster so he could go out and hand out more tickets — is this what the priority of cops should be? Captialism makes that the priority , not actually keeping people safe. Capitalism is a disease. Socialism is the solution
Cops are sadists. And they are unaccountable. If this wasn’t a middle class white kid he killed, he wouldn’t have been punished at all. If he killed a black kid not only would the cop not be punished, white conservatives would be saying the black kid deserved it. Hellooooo white people are you finally going to get on board with black lives matter…you know, the people who talk about police brutality and murder and welcome white people to their side to protest with them? No? Going to lap up all the propaganda about blue lives matter nonsense and jump on trumps tiny dick? Ok got it yeah he’s just a “bad Apple” right? It’s not that police are an unaccountable gang that do violence on behalf of the state to keep class relations intact. Nah, it’s just a “bad apple”. Yep even though there’s probably 100 videos on this channel alone of cops committing murder and rape nah they aren’t sadists
That's not right
Wow the Injustice of this tragic story is Unbelievable!!
Fucki'n fat peace of shit I hope that cop will burn alive!
10 GODDAMN DAYS AND HE IS STILL EMPLOYEED AS A FUCKING COP. no shit, i did more than that for a fucking bullshit drunk and disorderly charge. hell, brandon himself would potentially have done up to 3-4x that for his "boating under the influence " charge! there is no much thing as justice or "closure" for that boy, his loved ones, or anyone else anymore…THAT DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING WASN'T EVEN FIRED FFS; NEVERMIND APPROPRIATELY CHARGED…. seriously, think about what that piece of shit just got away with scot-free; it'll make your goddamn blood boil…
The corrupt injustice system at its best. From the police to the judges they are enemies of the united stated constitution and that is the fact. Let this story be yet another reminder to every patriotic american. When the people stand the police run like the cowards they are.
Regardless of him being responsible or not. I’m sorry but, No one is going to talk to a overbearingly judgmental reporter aggressively hurling criticisms at you.
Your son was 20. He wasn't supposed to be drinking. He was drunk and driving your boat. Lucky he didn't kill someone else. He was a drunk driver. Maybe the parents should have been more responsible. Stop worry abo u to the polices actions and worry about your own and your sons.
Handcuffing a guy on a lake — screams of stupidity. Nobody should be handcuffed on a lake. Not putting his arms thru the life vest was an act of murder. And the cop then "accidentally" hits a wake. That's one evil cop. But if he hadn't been drinking and driving he'd still be alive. Drink and drive and you tempt God — you put others lives at risk, God in his justice will put your life at risk — you know like wearing a life vest that wont stay on. His dad's warning was to watch out for cops; stupid warning. Why didn't you warn your child to not drink and drive and the cop problem takes care of itself. Two stupid parents = one dead kid. Kids and boats is a bad combination. But worse: Kids + boats + alcohol = death.
