This film is in The Public Interest. Please visit my channel www.youtube.com The people at StoptheDrugWar.com posted this news report regarding a police officer who arrested man who was believed, by the officer to have marijuana. The cop couldn’t find the marijuana so he then assumed the man was swallowing it. To prevent this the officer then began chocking the man, who was restrained in handcuffs and who didn’t try to fight or resist in any way. It is bad news when cops think they have the right to choke restrained individuals period. And any cop who so thinks should be removed from duty permanently. A local judge in Mount Juliet, TN, where the cop assaulted the man, was so dismayed by the unprovoked attack he threw the officer out of his court and told him he would dismiss any case he files. I don’t blame the judge. This office is unreliable. I’ll go further, this officer is a criminal. The problems got worse for the officer. Office Crosby, the uniformed thug in question, was attempting to force the man to spit out marijuana. The man’s refusal to do so meant more choking of him in order to force him to produce the evidence. The stupid officer never considered another alternative — that the man had no marijuana and couldn’t spit it out since it wasn’t there. In fact, tests on the man proved that to be the case. NO marijuana was in his system at all. None that day, none in the past that they could find. Remember a little incident in history called the Holy Inquisition. A …
FYI: The only reason the cop would be doing this is if someone tried to swallow evidence. Which is probably whats happening here. They’re within their rights to stop anyone from destroying evidence. He was only stopping the accused from being able to swallow, not choking him. DUR.
@Ryanssuperman Watch the ENTIRE video. It says they tested him for such and none was found. The police do not have a right to choke you, just because you’re swallowing evidence. What’s next? Forced vomiting.
I’m glad that there are some in the judicial system who will not tolerate such behavior from rogue cops that definitely need to be put down like a rabid dog.
I’am not sure if anyone has posted here the information about this cop having already been fired from another police force for beating up a guy that was also innocent,Surprise,. He was a lebanon cop when that happened and sence this choking deal he has been fired and not much has been said about it ,that i’ve heard. I think he also tried to sue the judge for slander but i havent heard anymore about that either.
Cosby was a well known punk around here and he should have been put in jail.
@Ryanssuperman They pointed out that the man had no drugs in his mouth and tested with no drugs in his system at all.
I have the utmost respect for officers that do their jobs well, but when an officer does something wrong he should be punished, not made excuses for
i’m gonna be honest with you guys, I’ve run into a lot of cops in my day–surprisingly, I have never been charged OR convicted of ANYTHING, thus, I have no criminal record–don’t ask…But anyways, I have come across a few dick heads, a lot of normal cops, a lot of cops with a sense of humour, and A LOT of really good cops who are really empathetic, sympathetic, and rational. To the cops who do shit like this, I hope they get theres. keep in mind that there are A LOT of awesome cops out there.
I agree with Roberth, lot’s of good cops out there, but this one was an ahole. Turns out he had already been fired from the Lebanon, Tennessee police forece when Mt. Joliet hired him. He was fired from Lebanon for using excessive force and the city paid 200k to the first victim he abused. He eventually was fired over this incident as well, and the Mt. Joliet police Department settled with James Anders for an undisclosed amount (He was seeking 1.5 million, so you know he didnt get peanuts).
The cops are being supplied with steroids now. All you have to do is look at them especially these small men with napoleon complexes. They are all fat, beefed up, bulging veins and eyes full of anger and rage. The drugs make them confused and violent. All cops, tsa and fbi should be drug tested weekly independently from the force. Any found with steroids or speed in their systems should be jailed as they do with us the public. Half the thug cops would be off the streets and we would be safer.
Half the cops would be off the streets? If Police were drug tested or better yet were legally dealt penalized like the rest of us, there would not even be that percentage available on the road. It’s always been one law for us and no law for them. The other officer was on board when this happened and i bet he will be testifying for the defense.
The judge has no right to just waive all cases. He needs to be fired just like the cop.
@Hollrobb —GLAD TO HEAR HE IS GONE. One day karma will bitch slap him something fierce. lol
sometimes cop killers have their rights lol
GREAT JUDGE…..NO LEGALISE COP KILLING PLEASE JUDGE!!!!!
Small town, rural, tenessee….hmmmm.. don’t think I’ll be headin that way anytime soon…. pothead john from ct.
Way to go for the Judge! AWESOME!!
@thepoliticalstartrek
You wish loser. You must be a pig yourself. If this judge believes that pig is corrupt, he can refuse to hear any of his cases and that is exactly what he’s doing. There needs to be more judges like him and less cops like the pig in this case.
finally a judge who sees through all the bullshit these pussies in blue try to pass off as good policing.i’m sure this cop has an ex spouse/gf that has some interesting stories to tell.why is he not charged with assault?this guy is why decent cops end up getting shot.if the good cops would testify against the abusers it would bring back respect to the job.as of now,i could’nt care less when a cop goes down.they chose to be in this profession.it is called karma.
All over a little weed? Give me a break. I like how the judge dismisses all future cases from this creep. Fire him
FUCK THA POLICE!!!!!!!!!!
Cops get off on on this kind of stuff or something
that guy must really be resistant
theres stuff in his throat! quick squeezed it out of him on camera. and hope no one watches it.
cops are all the same
Thd Cosby Show!
LOVE this judge! Exactly right. Most cops are fine people, but these idiots that abuse their power make EVERY cops work hell on Earth. One idiot abuses someone who’s already cuffed, and suddenly every cop is a “pig” to the anti-establishment groups, who are growing exponentially in these days.
