This Police Accountability Report examines why the police continue to use force when no crime was committed. Chad Wilkins–who was depressed from a recent divorce and had threatened to hurt himself–told the McKinney, Texas police he didn’t need their help anymore. They tasered him twice, causing long-term injuries. Please join Taya Graham and Stephen Janis for this important episode of The Police Accountability Report!

  1. A thousand years in prison but, suspend 999 years 364 days and 23 hrs 59 minutes——OMFG what a pathetic joke

  2. Why would you take a plea deal when you committed no crime? How did that help him anyway—he can’t rent an abode, can’t get a job…..

  3. Court appointed lawyers work for the system. There are way too many lawyers, and too many worthless overpaid bully cops. Remember to look at the police camera.

  4. I wonder what would happen if WE started fighting back when Police try to pull this on People???? They would probably freak out if We turned the tables on them. I say FIGHT BACK!!!!!! Fight the Corrupt Police, Judges, and the Corrupt District Attorneys.

  5. Oversight on a rising number of disabled, older Americans 60 to 80 caught also in this rouge policing… ? Human trafficking war in mental health community. Criminalizing those with priors over 15 to 20 years by violating our fourth amendment of running tags or in some cases after Identified by the person. The new revenue for government. Traffic stops, escalation of nothing to basically keep jails full as well as the bank accounts. Believe it or not…

  6. Buy judging from the police departments around the world, feelings are the most vulnerable part of the nervous system. If they're nervous system is so receptive to their feelings, why do they try to fight crime by attacking criminals feelings and drop the deadly force.

  7. The war on drugs has corrupted police departments, District Attorneys, and especially Sheriffs offices across the nation. They are corrupted in particular by the federal$$ which they get for the dysfunctional war on drugs. I was born and raised in this backward drug war which began under Richard Nixon when he created the DEA(which needs to be disbanded). In the NYPD of both the Knapp commission(70s), and Mollen commission(90s) days the NYPD narcotics units and special Inv.units were found to be the most corrupt. Nothing at all has changed and today the NYPD still has never gone through a real reform. Every large city needs to have a robust Civilian Complaint Investigation Bur. They need to have peace officer status, they need to have the power of subpoena, and they need to have extensive training in the "policing of the police". The police unions are one of the largest hurdles. They regularly protect criminal officers which can include protecting cops who commit crimes and misconduct. The drug war must end immediately , and the nation needs to understand that drugs shouldn't ever have been a law enforcement issue…drugs are a public health issue period. There is so much which needs to be done across the country not just NYC.

  8. law enforcement needs to be reformed. we have cops beating 11yo girls down now at school? i mean, these guys really need life in prison for their stupidity

  9. Each episode proves how corrupt and police departments are and how we need much more transparency. I say it every episode, you guys are freedom fighters. This is the best thing going on the internet. I hope you get the support you need to continue.

  10. check Albuquerque. Cops was filmed there dozens of times. There are routine police killings. Just recently a mentally ill woman had a knife and was killed. A mentally ill homeless man was killed in a similar case that brought national attention

  11. Any cops convicted of a crime should have mandatory MAXIMUM sentences. These people are SUPPOSED to be our protectors and the pentacle of the law. They should be held to the highest standards, not exempt from any standards.

  12. I had a sheriff's detective in Clark County in Washington state initiate a civil case against me for helping a guy out who was about to have his house stolen from that same county. They were going to kick him out on the street, penniless and homeless. I bought his house for full market value and got him moved into another house. Because he has cerebral palsy, they decided that they could "intervene on his behalf", regardless of his feelings in the matter and tried to extort $80k from me. When I refused to settle, forcing them to take me to court, they stalled. 2 years later, after I declared bankruptcy (this was 2009, I had been out of work for 10 months), 3 days after my bankruptcy discharge, I got a letter in the mail telling me that they were filing 2 counts of felony theft against me. Harper waited until he thought I was the most financially vulnerable, thinking I would be unable to defend myself, before pouncing on me. Unfortunately for him, I was very smart in the way I filed my bankruptcy, so I had enough money to hire a lawyer. That went on for another 2 years, until we finally got to the point were I ended up paying $500 to settle the civil case on the condition that the criminal cases be dropped. That settlement right there proves that it was all complete bullshit. If they truly had a case, either civil OR criminal, they would not have given up so easily and they wouldn't have dragged it out so long. All Harper wanted was a notch in his gunbelt.

    So why did I settle? Because, as my lawyer explained, it would have cost me MORE money to go to court and WIN than to take the settlement. If I had the money, I would have fought it to the end, just for the principle of it. But, remember, I had just got through bankruptcy and just couldn't afford it.

    So it's not just physical violence that these sociopaths visit on society. It's emotional and financial havoc as well. That whole ordeal cost me almost $70k.

  13. There are two major types of people who join law enforcement: those who want to help people and those who are natural bullies who just like to feel like the ultimate authority (authoritarian despots). Of the people who go into it to help people, those get split off into people who are genuinely good and maintain their sense of civic duty and those who quickly fall into the "us against them" mentality because all they see are criminals all day and never look for the good in people or society. Of those that can maintain their sense of civic duty those are further split into those that, if they are in a department that hasn't been thoroughly corrupted, can keep being good cops and those that end up in corrupt departments, where the environment is extremely toxic from leadership down. Of those that end up in the toxic departments, they usually end up just going along (and usually end up corrupt along with everyone else) or they are pushed out.

    In other words, I believe there are very few cops who get into LE with altruistic intentions and are able to maintain those intentions throughout their careers. They are out there. My nephew is one of them. I've run into a couple in my 60 years of life (and I have had a LOT of encounters with law enforcement). Luckily, I'm an upper-middle-class white male, so I haven't had a lot to fear, but I have had firearms drawn on me several times, and I can easily believe that my life was on the thin blue line many of those times.

  14. I would like to hear a discussion of the incidences in which police use deadly forces or shoot to kill when an unarmed citizen doesn’t follow a ‘command’ even if they appear frozen in place. It’s the ultimate ‘test’ to fail to follow a ‘command’ from a very angry sounding gunman having their version of swift justice. Are these acts by police in any way lawful or is this now a blatant corrupt and pathological police state? Under what circumstances do you have the right to defend yourself?

  15. Instead a war on poverty….they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me…."2pac"…..and I ain't neva did a crime I ain't hafta do….

  16. And once again who's on the other end of that brutality? How many times do we have to see it before "Phychiatric test are manditory twice a year, especially after a suspect shooting? When will the truth prevail and justice fall down like a waterfall for the downtrodden?
    Unto our Creator, I beseech… how long?

  17. We the PEOPLE choose to allow police and government corruption. We pay for it and do nothing to stop it. All lawyers are corrupt.

  18. Tazers are deadly weapons, over 1,100 people have died from the user of tazers. Cops need to calm down, not escellate, not provoke, not create situations that result in violence.

  19. Made me think of an old lawyer joke. What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.

  20. I was certain the title just forgot to refer country, but it's the actual news. Who on this planet would have thought US police knocked, instead of shot someone

  21. This is exactly what I've posted about previously.  The job of police is to enforce obedience.  If you block a police officer's punch, you are not being obedient.  Therefore you are in violation of the core purpose of the police after which they will concoct a crime to charge you with.  But don't make the mistake of blaming the police — our whole society is built on obedience.

  22. this story is so interesting, but the oohing and aahing of the interviewers make it a completely non serious piece of journalism.
    a real disappointment.
    Taya Graham and Stephen Janis. amateurs. avoid them.

  23. 9:30 "That's incredible!"
    Actually it's the most common thing for public defenders to do.

    About 90% of cases are resolved by plea deals that are offered to the public defender before a formal interview of the client. Between the unwillingness to review the evidence and the scheduling for change of plea hearings, your own Defense will arrange meetings with you solely for the purpose of convincing you to sign waivers of your civil rights.

    Prosecutors and public defenders are the equivalent of bad cop – good cop, only for the courts. It's just a process for prosecution, streamlined.
