VIDEO: Police Brutality: Cops Plant Drugs On Suspect & Lets Dog Attack

If the police were going to plant drugs on someone, why would they plant weed? I mean, cocain, meth, heroin, '___'? Weed? Oh no! Not a 100$ fine!

Thank you for taking the time to do the research. I am sure many here on ATS do blindly believe a youtube video. Altough in their defense, it was from a news story. So it's the news story that planted those suggestions and left out the follow up.

That being said, when I first joined ATS I saw a thread about cops that just drive around town reading plates and sending the info in as an attempt to pull you over for anything. I thought it was ridiculous and really was stretching the whole "big brother" thing to the limit. NOT ANYMORE. Last Thursday I was coming home from the grocery store and noticed a car that looked "all tricked out". Or maybe it looked like some sort of mobile dj. It had four cameras on top and attenas all over it, regular MISSOURI plates, even though I am in Kansas.....when I got right behind it I could see a center console computer screen with info running like mad on it. My boyfriend said, is that what I think it is? I said yep.....now I know ATS is not all tin foil hat wearing freaks. LOL. It wasn't funny though. In fact it really pissed me off. Especially with the Missouri tags, running Kansas plates.

America is nothing but effed up. I don't want to hear the BS about, well if you don't break the law don't worry about it. The most law abiding citizens can still have anxiety when in the presence of police. And most law abiding citizens who do NOTHING wrong are the ones that should REALLY be outraged by all this big brother crap. I mean afterall, they are doing nothing wrong and don't deserve to have the government up their butts.

Do people even bother to follow up on this stuff?

Why are so many here on ATS so quick to think the worst of police or government. That kind of thinking is pure stupid and as blankety as it gets.

As pointed out early on in the thread, the video is edited and the guy in the video getting arrested DID have drugs on him.

it is very frustrating to have to shovel through all this ballyhoo day after day.

Not all cops are bad of course, but the few bad ones make the rest look bad. Some of these power freak cops need to realize what comes around goes around. They apparently lost the concept that they are public servants that swear an oath to the constitution and not a arm of the global socialist government. They will be robbed of freedom along with the rest of us if they keep serving that attitude.

The reason the HATE as you put it is coming towards cops is quite simple.

They are crooks pure and simple.

The healthy individual realizes that he has no civil rights when dealing with the cops. Otherwise it would be mandatory at all times for your rights to be read to you when you went into custody and for a lawyer to be, for the interviewed, present at all times during interrogation.

@ the cop
tell me right now your have never been silent when you knew someone was innocent.

tell me you never went in and got a confession out of a kid without him having a lawyer present

tell me you never watched a buddy lie on the stand or in an interview to catch the perp, (cause it was the only way)

A healthy freeman realizes the cops are there to collect his paycheck from the taxes he pays.

Devils advocate
I forgive the cops only when a predator takes a kid and they hunt the SOB down.

Oddly enough he broke the law but got the kid. With Him What I said does not apply. He was tested and found worthy, so far morally you fail nine times out of ten.

My taxes go to pay your paycheck so thats not good enough

Your all fired


btw, no when something happens I dont call the cops. I deal with it myself, because I learned it is a 'civil matter', most of the time.

My civil rights are NOT at your discretion.

Technically their taxes go to pay their paycheck as well. That sort of means they pay themselves. But since not all are bad I think the good ones should get raises. Maybe you should kick in and give them one; since you say you pay their wages.

Its ok, LEO's are only human....humans don't know the difference between right and wrong. It's hard to tell that they were on private property, so of coarse you have to tase someone 3 times. and tase that scary pregnant lady for public intoxication. Plus they were being loud...

Nothing to see here move along.....

Interesting that the FOOTAGE just happened to not show EVERYTHING....again big surprise there. And why were the cops there in the first place? Oh I bet because neighbors called to complain about this family who may not have to much courtesy for those who don't wanna hear music blasted all day. Until I see the ENTIRE incident and not listen to the only english speaking person there tell his BIAS side of the story....your complaining about it makes no sense...since YOU don't know the TRUTH either...

I will agree that the K9 bite was NOT necessary and they should be held accountable for that.

Were they?

As for the aggressivness of the the officers, you may wanna check the history of the suspect before making a clear judgment. Reason being, you don't play patty cackes with a man who has a criminal history of: Burglary, Drug Possession, Domestic Abuse, and Fleeing.

Are you implying that if a person has criminal record it's okay to beat him or do any illegal thing aganist him?

Now for the "planting" of the drugs. Yes there was an allegation, BUT you failed MISERABLY to doing alittle research to find out that the officer in question was reaching into his pocket to make sure the camera and audio were still on.

Actually I did search but found no article discussing that. The link that another user has posted on 1st page is from 2008.

Also, (go figure), the youtube video IS NOT complete and doesn't show the confession by Carlos that he DID have weed on him.

It shows lot of things, it's all perception on how one takes it.

In his own words, CAUGHT ON TAPE, he says "yeah so what, you found my weed". Not to mention he pled GUILTY to the possession charge in court and admitted to the DA no one planted anything.

Anyone would if they would be threatened by crooked cops for life or another dog attack.

Just another case of people having NO CLUE and ASSuming stuff, and before researching it, they go purely on emotion or biased hate to make people look MUCH worse then what they really are.

The only emotional response I have seen so far is your's with amusing veiled attacks.

Again, you wanna complain about the use of the K9, I can agree and will complain about that too, as there was no reason.

Already said this above. Were the cops punished for this?

As for the "planting" and believing this video with blinders on....well thats par for the course here on ATS when it comes to police anything.

Not believing something which one can see and hear can be termed as blinders phail. But I agree it would have been better if we everyone on ATS who replied on this thread would have been present there physically..unfortunately that's not the case so we will have to do with the video available.

Edit to Add: The lawsuit is still pending for the K9 bite and rightfully so, but the officer was cleared, thanks to the suspect being honest (a week later), and is back to work.

Actually no in his lawsuit he has claimed the drug was planted on him.

“That’s a complete drug plant is what I'm alleging. It’s a complete unlawful search, first of all, and it’s a planting of paraphernalia,” Durham said last week.

Cookeville police said they are "completely cooperating with the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation)." A representative said the department is not trying to hide anything and doesn’t want to look like it is.

So no the officer are not yet released of any wrongdoing from lawsuit perspective.

Typical arrogant response of one who wishes to avoid the truth. Give a raise to cops? You gotta be kidding.

The police today are returning criminals from Iraq who have been trained to torture citizens and as soon as they get back they are hired by local police to turn their "craft" on the American public. This has went about as far as it is going to be allowed by a well armed public.

Fortunately, these typical bad cops are not very bright. My advice to the rogue cops is stop right now or find a different job. To the few "good cops" I advise, speak up and stop this before it is too late.

I did searched but found no source backing up your claims. Could you perhaps link me to the source please.

You are right it has only been linked twice. Three times is much better.
www.wsmv.com...

Of course you have to click the link and read it first. Many on here seem to either purposely overlook links like this or they just do not click the link. I bet you just accidentally missed it on page one though.

Ok...RIGHT NOW I am telling you that I have never been silent because i have never arrested anyone who was innocent. If I put handcuffs on you, you DID break Georgia law and I had probable cause to do so. Sorry but there is PLENTY of crime committed without doubt for me to deal with. I don't need to make up anything.

tell me you never went in and got a confession out of a kid without him having a lawyer present

Ok...I have gotten a confession from a "kid" without a lawyer. His mom & dad were there because as a "kid" that is all the law requires. If THEY would of requested an attorney, they would of gotten one. Now if you mean an adult, yes I have questioned people without a lawyer present...HOW...well..lets see... I read Miranda and the suspect agreed to talk to me without one for starters. And two, preliminary questioning up to a certain point IS allowed....sooo hope that helps you.

tell me you never watched a buddy lie on the stand or in an interview to catch the perp, (cause it was the only way)

Sure have...and I watched his case unfold and get thrown out and his reputation in court plummit because of it. He is a grown man and made HIS choice, now he works for best buy.

A healthy freeman realizes the cops are there to collect his paycheck from the taxes he pays.

You mean a BIASED close minded individual. When is the last time you investigated a rape and sent that scumbag to jail so the woman could find peace? When is the last time you responded to a domestic and arrested an abusive husband and finally got the woman away from a punch in the face everynight? Whens the last time you arrived on scene at an accident and provided first aid and cpr and saved the life of a person? When is the last time you caught someone burglarizing a small business and saved the owner from filing huge claims and basically saving his business? Whens the last time you were shot at? When is the last time you had to shoot and kill a person to protect yourself or others and were still called a killer, even by the people you had to protect? Yes we collect a paycheck just like you, but apparently you haven't seen the size of ours lately..lol

btw, no when something happens I dont call the cops. I deal with it myself, because I learned it is a 'civil matter', most of the time.

As most likely it is, but whos fault is that? Not a cops, be smart enough to realize WHO writes the laws and classifies the actions...and take the fight to them.

So all the troops have been trained to torture people?

Have any link to show some kind of backup proof for that? Or are you making wild claims that cannot be verified?

As for the good cop bad cop thing, of course I would love to see the good cops get a raise. They after all deserve it for dealing with the likes of many on ATS. The bad cops should be arrested and rot in jail though.

But of course you do not care whether they are good or bad do you? Since after all they are all torturing criminals. That is what you were saying is it not?

I edited my post above after I saw the link accordingly. Taking one post at a time that's why didn't see the link at the bottom of page

Ahh' just noticed your cop hater comment too..people have already replied to it. No use further touching it.

That is fine. I just want it understood the cop did not plant anything on the guy. Now the dog thing is another story but the planting part of the video is a lie.

He should be punished for the dog issue though; I have no issue with that.

So basically, your position is that the K9 handler was out of line, but you'll give him a pass because "hey, people do dumb things sometimes"?

Sorry. But if you're in a position of supreme authority, are responsible to the public, and have the effective power of life and death over people, then no, you don't get a pass for "dumb things".

Explain to me where I said he could have a free pass?

Please show me where I said he could, I beg you. I would love to see where I said he could have a free pass.

I said people do stupid things that is to be expected, even from cops. But please show me where I said what you are saying I did.

I don't think anyone is giving him a pass. He should definitly be dealt with and lose the dog spot. The liabilty is too high to have a poor K9 handler...hence the lawsuit still pending for the K9 bite.

reply to post by rcwj1975


I was sure that is what I was saying as well.

But I still want to see where I said he should have a free pass.
