Police Commissioner's UNBELIEVABLE Explanation For Dirty Cops

THE CITY OF BALTIMORE HAS DROPPED DOZENS OF DRUG-RELATED
CASES AFTER IT WAS REVEALED THAT ONE COP WAS CUT THROUGH HIS BODY
CAN'T FOOTAGE PLANTING DRUGS AS EVIDENCE WITH ONE DEFENDANT.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE IS ANOTHER VIDEO SHOWING
DIFFERENT COPS IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A CASE FOR THEY ARE
PLANTING DRUGS.
IN THIS CASE, IT HAS TO DO WITH A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED.
AFTER COPS PULLED THIS INDIVIDUAL OVER, THEY
SEARCHED THE CAR AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY DRUGS.
THEN THEY TURNED OFF THEIR BODY CAMP, TURNED IT BACK ON,
SEARCHED IN THE EXACT SAME AREA OF THE CAR, AND
MIRACULOUSLY FOUND DRUGS.
AS A RESULT, THE CASE AGAINST THAT DEFENDANT HAS BEEN DROPPED.
HER NAME IS SHAMIR COLLINS.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO SHAKE AS A VIDEO SO YOU CAN KIND OF
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
I'LL TELL YOU HOW THE POLICE COMMISSIONER IS STICKING UP
FOR THESE COPS WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FIRST VIDEO.
THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE SEARCHING THE CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE
THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING ANYTHING.
OKAY.
WE'VE GOT NOTHING SO FAR.
AT THAT POINT, THEY TURN OFF THE BUDDY CAM AND HERE IS A
SECOND VIDEO.
ANYBODY CHECK THIS COMPARTMENT?
THERE WE GO.
I KNEW IT.
THAT'S WHY THEY WERE FREAKING OUT.
THAT IS THE WEED SMELL.
OKAY, SO HIS MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THAT.
IS A TERRIBLE STORY BUT THE WAY THEY DID IS A MOST AMUSING.
GO, WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
TURN OFF THE BODY CAM.
THEY TURN OF THE BUDDY CAMERA AND THEN THEY PLANTED AND I
LIKE HOW THEY ARE LIKE, DID ANYONE CHECK THIS PART.
AND HE FINDS IT IMMEDIATELY.
AND HE IS LIKE OH, THERE IT IS.
WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG.
COME ON THOUGHT YOU GUYS ARE WEARING BODY CAMS.
BUT HERE'S THE THING, I THINK SOME COPS, NOT ALL, SOME
COPS ARE EMBOLDENED BY THE FACT THAT A LOT OF POLICE
OFFICERS GET AWAY WITH A LOT OF REALLY BAD THINGS.
I AM WEARING A BODY CAM, WHO CARES IF I AM.
IT IS NOT
LIKE I'M GOING TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES IF I GET
CAUGHT OR IF ANYONE SUSPECTS THAT I'M PLANTING THIS EVIDENCE.
HERE'S THE THING, BECAUSE OF THE TWO SEPARATE CASES THAT WE TOLD
YOU ABOUT ON THE SHOW, THESE COPS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A
BUNCH OF OTHER CASES AND ANY OTHER CASE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN HAS TO BE DROPPED BECAUSE THE CREDIBILITY OF
THESE POLICE OFFICERS IS NOW UP IN THE AIR AND JUST TO GIVE
YOU A MORE BROAD PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN
BALTIMORE, LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 26.
LAST SUMMER, THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ISSUED A
SCATHING REPORT IN WHICH INVESTIGATORS SAID THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED WIDESPREAD DISCRIMINATORY
AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLICING PRACTICES PROTECTING
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT PREDOMINATELY BLACK
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THE CITY AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
LATER ENTERED INTO A CONSENT DECREE THAT MANDATES
REPORTS AND IS IN ITS EARLY STAGES.
LOOK, THE PLANTING OF DRUGS IS HORRIBLE, BUT TO MAKE MATTERS
WORSE, THE POLICE COMMISSIONER IS COMPLETELY DEFENDING THESE
ACTIONS WHICH IS FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST.
HE HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE JUST YESTERDAY WE ADDRESS THESE
VIDEOS AND HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
HIS NAME IS KEVIN DAVIS.
IN BOTH OF THESE CASES, IT'S NO DOUBT THAT DRUGS WERE
DISCOVERED AND THE RECOVERY OF THOSE TRUCKS WERE CAPTURED
ON BODY WORN CAMERAS.
THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THAT TOOK PLACE IN EITHER CASE.
THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT PROBABLE CAUSE EXISTED FOR REST.
HE IS CLAIMING THAT THEY NEED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION TO
FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THE COPS WERE JUST SIMPLY
REENACTING THEM FINDING THE DRUGS.
SHIRT.
HE IS MAKING AN ARGUMENT THAT MAYBE THEY FORGOT TO TURN
ON THEIR BODY CAMERAS AND THEN THEY DISCOVERED THE DRUGS
WITH THE CAMERAS OFTEN THAN THEY ARE LIKE WAY, WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE CATCH THIS ON CAMERA SO IT'S REENACTED THE
EXEC EXCEPT WE HAVE VIDEO BEFORE THEY FOUND ANY DRUGS
WITH THE BUDDY CAMERAS ON SOME AND ACTIVELY TURN IT OFF.
THESE ARE THE MOST NONSENSE EXCUSES YOU WILL EVER HEAR.
LET ME GIVE YOU A PERSPECTIVE.
IF YOU ARE A PERSON PROGRESSIVE YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS
PERSPECTIVE AND IF YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE, HERE YOU.
I WAS YOU.
LIMIT JUST EXPLAINED THAT I GREW UP IN A NICE SUBURB, WAS SUPER
LUCKY AND WIN GENERALLY DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE COPS.
WE THOUGHT THE COPS WERE THERE TO PROTECT US SO I GREW UP
THINKING COPS DON'T LIE AND THERE IS A HUGE, IF YOU ARE
PROGRESSIVE OR YOU ARE BLACK OR POOR YOU MIGHT FIND THAT
LAUGHABLE, BUT THERE IS A HUGE CHUNK OF THE COUNTRY WHO
THINKS AND WAS RAISED TO BELIEVE THAT COPS DON'T LIE AND
COPS TO MAKE UP STUFF.
WHY WOULD A CALL PLAY DRUGS?
I REMEMBER HAVING AN ARGUMENT 30
YEARS AGO AND HE TOLD A STORY ABOUT HOW HIS FRIENDS HAD
DRUGS PLANTED ON THEM AND I WAS LIKE WHY WOULD THE COPS DID A?
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO GET YOU INTO TROUBLE WITH THAT YOU
HAVE TO TRUST THE COPS.
UNTIL YOU FIND THAT THE EVIDENCE.
IT IS NOT TO SAY THAT ALL
COPS ARE BAD, THEY ARE ALL PLANNING DRUG STAFF COURSE
NOT BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVE COPS WHO ARE DOING THIS, YOU
SHOULD WEED THEM OUT.
SORRY FOR THE PUN.
THE FOURTH OTHERWISE YOU ALL LOSE CREDIBILITY.
AND YES, IF YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THAT COPS NEVER
LIE, WAKE UP.
OF COURSE THEY LOST SOME LIE SOMETIMES THAT SOME COPS DO
LIKE SOME OF THE TIME.
THIS WILL BE HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM.
WE DON'T JUST TRUST THEM.
JUST TO MAKE A BROADER POINT ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN
BALTIMORE, POLICE HAVE SUSTAINED 13 ADMINISTRATIVE
MISCONDUCT CASES BASED ON BUDDY CAMERA FOOTAGE AND THAT IS
ACCORDING TO DAVIS THE GUY WANTS TO PROTECT THESE COPS.
ONE OFFICER WAS INDICTED ON CRIMINAL ASSAULT CHARGES
BASED ON BUDDY CAMERA FOOTAGE.
LOOK, BODY CAMS ARE WORKING TO SOME EXTENT AND I GUESS
THAT IS A GOOD THING, FINALLY.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CONSEQUENCES FOR COPS THAT ARE
BEHAVING POORLY AND NOT DOING THEIR JOBS IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY.
JUST TO GO BACK TO YOUR POINT ABOUT HOW SOME COPS DO LIE,
A STORY THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO TODAY WAS ABOUT A SAN DIEGO
POLICE OFFICER WHO GAVE A CITATION TO AMANDA HE WAS
ACCUSING A SLEEPING IN THE BED OF HIS TRUCK WHICH IS ILLEGAL.
HIS BODY CAM FOOTAGE SHOWED THAT HE ACTUALLY JUST CAME UP TO
THE GUY AS HE WAS WALKING OUT OF A PUBLIC RESTROOM.
HE WAS JUST COMPLETELY LYING ABOUT IT.
IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY, GENERALLY, LAZINESS.
SOME PLACES HAVE QUOTAS AND HAVE TAKEN NUMBER OF ARRESTS.
WELL, IF I DON'T HAVE SOMETHING YOU ARE GUILTY OF, I HAVE
TO MAKE SURE I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE DATA HEADQUARTERS
SO I'M GOING TO ARREST THE PEOPLE ANYWAY.
AND WHOM I GOING TO ARREST?
THE POWERLESS SO THEY DON'T MESS WITH ME.
IF I ARREST THE POWERFUL AND GOING TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES
ESPECIALLY IF I AM PLANTING DRUGS ON THEM.
A LOT OF THE POWERLESS WHETHER THEY ARE POOR, AFRICAN-AMERICAN,
MIDDLE-CLASS NOW.
A LOT OF FOLKS CAN'T AFFORD LAWYERS ARE TO FIGHT BACK.
THOSE BECAUSE YOU PICK ON.
THAT IS HOW IT HAPPENS.
