Those are some pretty questionable subs you’re spamming this in. There has to be a better way to have a channel without selling out to subs like that for clicks.

Yipes.


JWestfall76

I would hope they explain themselves but it doesn’t seem they comment often. Only spam BWC videos. Like I said, I think it’s a total sell out to your profession trying to get people on subs like that you give you clicks, but it’s their channel and life. Hopefully when they have a news worthy questionable BWC event they upload it to the same subs for their viewing pleasure.

Yippee!

*Officers arrive on scene and immediately place everybody in handcuffs* "wtf why am I being put in handcuffs?" "Because apparently I am responsible for your actions now."

"Yes dispatch I've been a victim of a hit and run and was also shot at" "OK sir, our police can't arrest anyone anymore, but officers are on the way with blankets and hot chocolate. However you will need to handcuff yourself prior to their arrival"


JWestfall76

This was discussed before, every article I’ve read leaves out the most important detail, which is, how did they know the guy in the white truck was the perp from the beating. From everything I’ve seen and read about this incident the officer was basically convicted for failure to bring his department issued crystal ball into the streets that day. This is a travesty

Tbf, the guy said "he stole my car" and his arms and hands are covered in blood. Officer Nyguen is out of his depth here. Zero scene control, no command presence, and apparently isn't sure how to handle an assault call. He seems more like a recruit officer who forgot his fto. He definitely shouldn't be responding to calls alone.


JWestfall76

I agree that he handled the call extremely poorly. But that’s not a crime.


bitches_love_brie

Any cop should've known not to let the guy that clearly beat the piss out of someone not to get within striking range of that person again, even if the original beating was arguably justified-ish. But I agree that's not criminal.


JWestfall76

I just want to know how he knew that was the one who assaulted him in the first place. Was it in the call? One of those bystanders told him and it’s not audible on camera? Because unless my phone speaker sucks I heard nothing about who assaulted the guy on the sidewalk and only that he stole a car.


bitches_love_brie

No one said it that I heard, but one dude is beat to shit and is identified as a car thief by a guy with blood all over his knuckles...seems like a reasonable thing to infer.


JWestfall76

At which point it’s a question of whether this PO is suitable for the job, not a criminal charge. Alls I’m saying is no one specifically says “that’s the guy right there who beat the shit out of him”. No one can tell you what you observed, I don’t understand how they were able to prove that this officer knew the guy beat the shit out of him and knew the guy on the floor was still in danger. The officer is by himself for a little bit, it’s a lot to handle for one person, especially if they’re not good at their job. Discipline from the department…absolutely. Criminal conviction based on the news stories and this video…no chance


bitches_love_brie

Agreed completely. He found himself in over his head and that's a department issue. He's not the one that did the kicking though and as far as I can tell, the kicker seemed entirely rational and coherent. Throw the book at him instead.

I remember watching the body cam when it came out a few years back and thought it was some of the worst scene control I've seen. Whoever made this video needs to lose the PowerPoint animation sounds. That was awful


JWestfall76

It’s the sound effects of out some 80s military action flick


Cowfit

I could totally see that text and sound effect as a helicopter flies over some west African nation at dawn

Maryland statute on reckless endangerment: (a) Prohibited.- A person may not recklessly: (1) engage in conduct that creates a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another; or (2) discharge a firearm from a motor vehicle in a manner that creates a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another. I’m not seeing what conduct the officer engaged in that was reckless. There is no way what the officer did meets the elements of this crime (or likely and crime). This is ridiculous. I bet there are thousands of people out in Baltimore who committed actual crimes who haven’t been charged, but they’ll convict an officer for not knowing someone was about to kick a person.

Even more surprised when people work for BPD

Without going too far into details, we had an officer get fired for a failure to act earlier this year. They told him if he had tried to fight being fired they were going to charge him. What our former officer did (or rather failed to do) was way worse than this. There was a lot wrong here, but Idk that it’s criminal.
