So a cop gets well canned after being caught on video doing what? Punching a black woman. Here it is. don't have a warrant or a truck in the house. What are you doing? don't have a warrant. Who [00:00:21] put that in the house? Let go! Let go! Let go! got her. I got her. I her. got her. I got her. I I Usually, leadership of a police department is required to have a response to these incidents. [00:00:41] In this case, we have the chief of police responding, here it is. Effective 830 this morning, the officer involved in this incident has been terminated from employment with the Shelby Police Department. In addition, the findings of our administrative investigation have been turned over to North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for an independent review of any criminal violations. [00:01:01] This step is being taken to ensure transparency. accountability and public confidence in our actions as a law enforcement agency. As I stated yesterday, community trust is the foundation of effective policing. The officers, telecommunicators and leadership of the Shelby Police Department [00:01:17] remain committed to maintaining and strengthening that trust every day. Our agency is guided by the core values of honesty, teamwork, integrity, professionalism and respect. And we hold ourselves accountable to those standards. Put it up full mass. I know what the chief said [00:01:38] sounded. It sounded good. It sounded as if he's an advocate for good policing and stands against policing [00:01:54] that's antithetical to the movement of progress and respect. I know that. But this North Carolina police chief did not say some things that should have been said on the record. Number one, he is the chief of a sworn agency. whose sole responsibility is to in fact figure out what the hell a crime [00:02:17] is and is not. He's the first agency who gets to investigate if there's a crime. We don't have you in that position, Chief, for you to investigate administrative policy violations. [00:02:33] You could turn that over to your internal department. You are there as a crime enforcement agent. period. And all of a sudden when there's a crime committed by someone who wears a similar suit that you wear to work, you don't know what the hell a crime is. So you now send that crime [00:02:53] off to another agency to investigate. A North Carolina police officer has been fired after a viral doorbell camera moment shows him repeatedly punching a woman during an arrest. As officers [00:03:10] tried to handcuff her after the incident, the woman requested mental health care. Said she was off her medication and repeatedly requested for officers to at the very least call her [00:03:28] father. Her father told CNN that she has a broken nose. She has two black eyes and Her lip is cut as she has to be tested for a possible concussion. It is unclear what happened in the moments [00:03:49] prior to the video. That does not matter. The camera was motion activated and only started recording when it detected the officer and the woman that's according to the homeowner whom [00:04:05] CNN agreed not to name due to their concern for privacy after the story went viral. I want you to put the picture back up Jordan. What happened prior is so non material to what this [00:04:21] officer did that the chief of police did not cite what happened prior as a way to dissuade judgment against the cop. So understand that even the chief isn't defending whatever happened prior. Well, we know based on the footage, the video starts with the officer and the woman [00:04:41] standing, their hands touching. The officer then wrestles the woman to the ground. She is heard saying quote, I don't have a warrant. And ask quote, what are you doing? End quote, the officer then punches her multiple times apparently in the face and in the upper body. [00:05:03] A second officer then steps in to pull them apart as the first officer continues punching her. The second officer says, let go. repeating, I got her. A third officer then arrives and [00:05:21] the officers try to handcuff the woman. She asks if she could receive medical health care and request the officers please contact her father multiple times. Who are the police officers [00:05:37] talking to? When he says let her go, when he says let go, he says I got her, that means let her go. That means the officer sees another cop engaged in unlawful force. I know some [00:05:54] people call it excessive force. Excessive force is unlawful. Excessive is a massage term for you to accept it. Excessive force is unlawful force, period, okay? Put him on full mass. A father identified the woman in the video as his 34 year old child. Quote, I was so upset. [00:06:18] Why is this man doing this to my daughter? What reason? And she's sick. End quote, Gregory Moore said referencing her mental health condition. Moore said his daughter suffers from mental [00:06:35] health and substance abuse issues, but said his daughter did not swing back at the officer. He explained the, she frequently walks around the community, neighborhood, quote. Her mind just won't let her sit down, end quote Moore said. Quote, she walks around like she has [00:06:52] no place to go and the man must have thought she really didn't have a family that nobody loves her. End quote, his daughter is in a safe place and resting now, her father said. Adding, she said she was sore and does not want to talk about what happened. So the woman in the video [00:07:13] was actually charged. She was charged with breaking and entering, resisting a public officer, and assault on a government official or employee. That's according to a warrant for her arrest [00:07:30] that was issued on a Friday. She was initially held on a $10,000 bond, but court records says that she was released on an unsecured bond. The charges against the woman have not [00:07:46] yet been dropped. Before I continue, uh the officer was not named officially. In addition to that, you have the microcosm and macrocosm of reality happening at one time. The microcosm [00:08:04] is obviously the unfortunate reality of what happened to this woman. And the fact that a crime was done to her by a man in uniform. who should have been arrested by the second cop who told him to get off of her. That's called integrity, chief. That means your department [00:08:21] would be leading the nation in integrity if you did that. That also means that community and cop trust would go to an all time high in your local community if you had cops who had the guts to do that. Number two, the macrocosm of a failing and never truly functional mental [00:08:42] health system in the United States of America. This woman is being criminalized for simply having a disorder. Put him on full mask. Meanwhile, the officer who was not named officially by [00:08:58] the department was fired following an administrative investigation, according to the Shelby Police Department on the chief, Brad Frazier. An arrest warrant for the shows an officer named Carson [00:09:15] Heider was trying to arrest her. CNN is attempting to reach Heider for comment. indisputable would love to hear the comment from Officer Heider. The police department provided the findings [00:09:31] of the investigation to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for an independent review of any criminal violations, the chief said, quote, we understand the community has questions and concerns, and we take that very seriously. Chief Hawley, the director of the bureau said in a statement Saturday, quote, we ask the public to be patient as we conduct [00:09:54] our work. Though the officer was fired by the Shelby Police Department on Saturday morning, the Moors are seeking justice by pressing charges on the officer as soon as possible. Quote, [00:10:10] there still needs to be something more done about that. That man should not have put a badge back on again. He should not drive in another police car unless he's going to jail, said Moore, who says his daughter is upset and shaken by the arrest. She has a court date [00:10:30] set for 8.30 AM on June 5th for those underlying charges. Put up the family attorney. Ronald Hayes Jr. told CNN quote, this has devastated our community and furthered the distrust between [00:10:51] the African American community and the police, end quote. And by proxy, it has created even more distrust between copy community in general. All right, this sister, what are your here? Dr. Richie, this is a lot for a Monday. This is, it was hard to watch ah as a woman who [00:11:12] has been a victim of violent battery like that is very triggering. As a friend to a very close friend whose uh son was murdered by cops who had schizophrenia. The cops are called on an outburst he was having and he was shot and killed. So I'm very grateful for this woman [00:11:31] and her family that she survived this encounter. is very scary that the amount of immunity that police have allow them to do these violent acts in front of us. And we just have to watch them when our instinct is to say, hey, even his cop friend said, hey, is, we can't do this. We [00:11:53] have to trust our guts. We're losing our humanity watching this kind of stuff and thinking, well, you the cops got to do with it. There's nothing. And we know they don't have to do this. There's nothing to justify why we have these serial killers that get to go to Burger King afterwards [00:12:08] and get a pat on the back. So we know they have the ability to do it. And it's not serious enough when it happens to black women. All of a sudden, oh, she had a machine. There's a lot of reasons, excuses he didn't notice that there's so little empathy. Violence against [00:12:26] women is one thing it's already rampant. And then add black women to the mix, they're the bottom of the rung in regards to how people react about this kind of stuff. It's very shocking. I'm glad he was fired. And I'm glad that you said what you said because he's saying the [00:12:42] right things, but does he mean it? Right, because he's empowered to actually do much more than he has done. But he wants to transfer that power to an agency that's not actually responsible to the local community in the same way the police chief is. All right, we'll bring you updates. [00:12:58] Yeah. We'll bring you a best S to go.
