Me you can't do that officer because I call for your supervisor.
>> Get out.
>> I have my what is the reason I didn't refuse.
I asked, I haven't refused I asked to speak to your supervisor sir.
>> Get out.
>> I feel uncomfortable.
Please get your supervisor.
>> I don't give a.
>> Don't touch me.
>> I said get out.
>> Please stop it.
Why are you being this is how you all really are.
Please stop.
This is all on tape.
Please stop.
>> Get out of the car.
>> Please don't hurt me while I get this.
No sir.
>> I'm telling you get out.
>> And I'm telling you that this is not lawful.
My god that's not lawful sir.
>> Get out.
>> So that's not lawful.
>> Get out.
What you just watched was an incident that took place in Tennessee.
It happened on March 10 but we just received a video of it.
It was just put out to the public and the man in the video a food delivery
driver named Elaine Gordon was calm throughout the entire interaction.
He had questions for the officer who pulled him over but
the cops didn't want to answer any of his questions.
And decided that maybe he needed to tase the driver instead.
Now Ryan wheeler Gordon's attorney said Gordon was a few 100 ft away from where he
was delivering food for door dash when the officer made a U turn and pulled him over.
After the incident, Gordon was booked.
Made bond and was released.
You might be wondering why of course he was charged with resisting arrest.
Wheeler said that Gordon has no prior criminal record whatsoever and
you saw the video super calm asking questions politely.
But the real problem here Jenks is what you bring up every time
we do these types of stories which is don't ever challenge the cop.
Don't ever question their authority.
Don't even ask them common sense questions even though the cop is supposed to tell
you why you're being pulled over.
It's the first thing that they're supposed to say to you.
But in this case, if you have the audacity of asking, why was I pulled over.
Can I speak to your supervisor?
That's, he's lucky he got tased in other incidents we've seen videos of
people getting shot to death.
>> Yeah, imagine if this happened at any other job.
Because it is a job cops have, go to work every day and
they gotta work nine to five whatever.
It's just in this job we've given them a massive amount of authority and
a massive amount of weaponry.
Imagine you go to a Dunkin donuts, you're like,
are you guys gonna have chocolate glazed donuts?
What are you asking me questions for?
No, I just wanted to know if you have chocolate donuts that's it.
Let's kick the crap out of them.
They come out from behind the counter and just beat you to pieces.
People are kinda insane world are we in here, right.
Imagine you go in and and
somebody's receptionist somewhere you're asking the wrong question.
She, takes out a taser.
Taser and then takes away your and says, now because you asked the wrong
questions or you didn't listen to me or you disrespected me.
Now I'm gonna make sure that you go to prison for a couple of years, right?
But with cops we'll take it for granted.
So it's normal if you don't quote unquote, respect the police officer.
Which is not in any way shape or form illegal, but
if you don't respect the police officer has the right to assault you.
And maybe murder you and certainly make up charges against you.
Resisting arrest when there's no underlying charge.
And then put you in prison after kicking the living crap out of you.
>> So Gordon according to a local Fox affiliate in Tennessee,
was charged with speeding, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Wheeler says those charges could carry up to six months of jail time.
As we mentioned earlier, he was able to make bond and was released.
But if he was pulled over for speeding, why didn't the cops just tell him,
hey, I'm pulling you over for speeding.
I've been pulled over for speeding more often than I would like to admit.
And the first thing the cop asks me is, do you know why I'm pulling you over and
sometimes I play dumb.
But as I got older, I'm like, yeah, I was speeding.
But that's the first thing they're supposed to tell you.
Why is that an offensive question?
You're a public servant.
As a public servant, you should be ready and willing to answer questions.
Especially when the person you just pulled over is asking you as politely and
calmly as humanly possible.
>> Yeah, it's all of this is unacceptable.
I'm gonna say the same thing.
The second thing that I say in all these stories, it's in the training.
We teach them that their authority is the most important thing in the world.
And if anyone forget putting you in physical danger, hang nails.
You can kill somebody, right?
But if someone says something where they question you for even a tiny bit.
Or they're slightly impolite to you,
you have the right to just manhandle them physically assault them.
Take away their liberty, make up charges.
It doesn't matter.
How dare you, that he asked you legally valid question.
Why is the government agent pulling me over and restricting my freedom?
The most basic question that I think the right wing would agree is
a fundamental question in our democracy.
But when a black guy does it, who cares tase him tase him, tase him, stun him.
If you have to kill him and
do whatever the hell you wanna them because we train the cops.
No one ever questions you and if they do just commit massive violence against them.
>> I wanna give you examples of how, not only are cops trigger happy.
But more importantly, how they admit that their trigger happy before I do that.
Just a few more details about this story so as far as we know,
the cop hasn't even been placed on desk duty.
They claim that there's an investigation.
The cop is from the College Dale Police Department in Tennessee.
They're doing an internal investigation.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's office is also investigating the incident.
Again, authorities still have not released the specifics or their own police footage.
This is dash cam footage from Gordon?
He was filming it in his car.
But now I wanna go to the quotes from other cops when they're asked about just
how trigger happy they are.
It's pretty amazing.
In fact, one says, I'm gonna say what no one else is saying.
Police officer Travis Yates editorialized in 2016 law officer
magazine piece, he said, follow the commands of a police officer.
I'm sorry, follow the commands of a police officer or risk dying after
lamenting the lack of submission to authority that is throughout our society.
Yates concluded the way I see it,
we have two options to stop police use of deadly force.
Police, stop being police or citizens can do what an officer says to do.
>> See that's exactly what I'm talking about.
They write that anna without even hesitating everybody reads it,
nobody hesitates as if that's normal?
No, that's tyranny and it right wing that's the tyranny of jack booted thugs
from the government who say you must listen to us.
Whether it's legal or not, whether it's reasonable or
not, you must do what we tell you.
Otherwise, we're gonna murder you.
If you're an actual conservative, you would despise that quote.
Okay, what if he gives you an unreasonable request, right?
We just follow the police, right?
But if he gives your request to take off your pants.
>> No but Jake please spare me if a right winger got pulled over by a cop.
And the cop didn't tell them why they got pulled over, they would lose it.
>> It doesn't matter because we know what the right wing thinks to the police.
On January first the bundies, they go and take over federal land,
they took over federal property.
The cops say you must leave, they go, no, instead, I'm gonna put a gun to your head.
And the right wing goes, yes, don't ever listen to the cops and
threaten to murder them.
Then January sixth, cops say do not enter the capitol building.
You don't have permission they go well, let's just assault them and kill them.
So you don't believe it either.
You just want the cops to beat up on people that you think are your political
opponents.
You know why?
Because right wingers in their heart of hearts are fascists.
And if they don't get their way, they will assault anyone, including the police.
But they mainly wanna use the police as their gestapo.
And so the idea of equality and justice to a right winger is an anathema.
They hate that idea go move to a different country.
This one was based on equality and justice.
