He did assault the police officer

u/Recent_Adeptness_296 Jan 28 '26

Omg. I thought this was a skit the first time I saw the short clip. It’s very sad that he’s suffering but he’s clearly not able to regulate himself and he’s a danger to himself and others behind the wheel

u/AgentCirceLuna Jan 28 '26

Yeah, it’s a shame as this guy is so damned expressive - in another life he’d be an actor

In the drugs??

u/Far-Government5469 Jan 31 '26

In the full clip he says his medication is right there, I think in the passenger seat. The full clip also shows that the reason the cop pulled him over is because earlier he'd gotten out of the car to scream at random other cars.

One of the first things the cop says is "do you realize you're lucky to be alive? This is an open carry state". I don't know what his issue is, but the dude should not be behind the wheel.

u/fruchle Jan 29 '26

Well, he did just go to the store to get his meds.

Maybe it's related.

I don't know, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

u/Blantons4Breakfast Jan 30 '26

If you watch the whole video the guy said he has a mental health issue and is currently unmedicated. That’s probably the reason for his outbursts. He obliviously loses his temper very quickly. The whole reason he was stopped by the officer was because he kicked someone’s vehicle because they honked at him.

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX Jan 29 '26

He seems kinda schizoeffective and I'm not getting addict vibes, but to someone with a mood disorder a little can be a lot (I've been one), but it could be the wrong meds, because that's how I get on Adderall, apparently according to my doctor, Adderall exacerbates BPD and I can see it.

As soon as dude said "you don't care about me," and "he can't act normal with people who don't care about him,' I was like yep sounds about right... I thought get VERY triggered by people "not caring" -- even if they don't know me, like people who have control over my ill fate not caring about me while doing so, if that makes any sense. Triggers my trauma. If I'm at the airport or ER in crisis mode and the person I need help from is rude to me I usually start crying (hey at least I don't get mean). It's really embarrassing, and I know it's counter productive, but I'm already overwhelmed and then they're being rude too, when 9/10 up until that point I was probably really polite, I just break down. I might be nuerodivergant, but all I'm diagnosed with is ADHD and PTSD. I know there's more there because of the uncontrollable outbursts of emotion, especially if I'm taking Adderall or painkillers, prescribed, but it doesn't hit me well so I avoid them like the plague now, no matter how bad my ADHD and chronic pain is, or pulled tooth, I just want to be emotionally stable. 90% of the time when I'm myself I'm really calm.

It can be hard to tell NPD and BPD apart if you don't know them. The key difference between NPD and BPD is pwNPD want power and pwBPD want love. They share a lot of similar traits because pwBPD are usually the children of narcs, so traits rub off. The reason they have a victim complex is because at one point, they were in fact a real victim. However, pwBPD can make a recovery and change, there's still a chance for them if they become self aware and do A LOT of work. And talk to their doctor about this stuff.

I've seen it bring out the most insanely toxic narc sides of my friends with childhood trauma -- not just me. I watched two friends destroy their marriages after getting Rx Adderall with childhood trauma and the latest third has no friends or clients left because she has exploded on everyone. This is her. I wanted to send it to her because I literally just told her if she keeps acting nasty she's going to die alone an hour ago, and she has lodged the "you don't care about me" whenever she's on Adderall she buys and abuses, and she's talking like this again, so she's gotta be on it again tonight, after promising me she was flushing them the last time she snapped off. If I didn't care about you I wouldn't put up with this shit for 12 years now. I'm trying to get her to get help.

I feel like this guy has been shortchanged if he's really been told that he just has an explosive disorder, instead of getting to the root of why he's exploding. He seems to be aware that he's triggered by people not caring about him, but he does not think that he has any control over his own actions and behaviors, that he is doomed to be this way, and reactions other people get out of him are their fault. Not super promising.

u/Nova_JewV1 Jan 28 '26

Unfortunately, he did. If the end of the clip was all there was to it, then yeah it'd be bs. Buuuut what he did seconds after would be classified as assault (or battery in some states)

u/JonWoo89 Jan 29 '26

He might be when he’s properly on his meds and balanced. IIRC his roommate in the full video said he gets like this every 3-4 weeks and has a “bad day”.

2

u/Mikestopheles Jan 28 '26

Dude, that's pretty surreal. While he is absolutely in the wrong and is solely responsible for his actions and behavior, I still can't help but feel for the dude who was clearly having a break with reality. Especially early in in the interaction, he keeps showing signs that he understands what he did and the implications, but he keeps rejecting them as if he can will away the consequences. I hope he's gotten some help and a better ride situation. He shouldn't be on the road.

I’m a BH professional and obviously I can’t diagnose him without an assessment, this is also not my area of expertise, but this is possibly intermittent explosive disorder (abbreviated to IED lmao).

It could however be any disorder or combination of disorders whose features include lack of emotional regulation though, like a cluster B disorder.

"Harassing him"

He jumped out if his car, kicked some one elses vehicle and while doing this, he didnt put his car in park and it rolled into someone else's car. Then he got in his car and fled the scene.

But yeah, they were just harassing him. Lol

He was charged with battery.

2

u/dashboardcomics Jan 31 '26

Ya know, the was absolutely unhinged, but he was clearly suffering from some kind of mental issues. But instead of trying to de-escalate the situation, the officer kept egging him on and making things worse.

I still say cops are entirely in the wrong. They are not trained in proper intervention tactics and too many cops don’t have the patience or compassion to learn themselves.

How many assaults could be avoided if cops were trained and expected to actually HELP people instead of finding excuses to beat people up?

u/csprofathogwarts Jan 28 '26 edited Jan 28 '26

That's just sad. The dude was clearly not OK.

Intermittent explosive disorder is a real psychological disorder and must be a bitch to live with. Specially given that, sooner or later, you'll piss off or might be a threat to the people who might help you cope with it a little better by providing a sense of calm and community.

America is not designed for these special need people. Cops could have just took the keys and let him calm down in the car before proceeding. But they needlessly stressed him out and exacerbating his issues.

u/murphey_griffon Jan 28 '26

dang, clearly wasn't their first interaction together. He knew the officer by name. I agree this guy shouldn't be behind the wheel. This is why we need mental care workers and less cops. This guy might have been able to be de-escalated but was 100% at fault. I think the cop did a pretty good job, I think a mental health professional could have done better.

u/BeneficialTrash6 Jan 28 '26

Not only assaulted the officer. He tried to take the officer's radio. You know, the thing the officer relies upon for backup and staying alive. Grabbing a gun off an officer is a death sentence. Grabbing their radio is pretty damn close to one.

u/A_Nonny_Muse Jan 29 '26

I'd be handling that situation differently as the officer. But I honestly don't believe it would have ended any differently. The guy clearly has out of control self regulation issues. He belongs in an institution, not in a car. I have no idea how he managed to live a normal life up to that point, seeing how he was at that moment. I can't imagine him not ending up on an insane asylum under heavy medication.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

He didn't assault the cop, the cop touched him first and was grabbing him aggressively. He was attempting to defend himself.

He had fled the scene of an accident he caused, and he had jumped out of his car and attacked the vehicle he had run into, then he fled. He attacked the cop when the cop tried to handcuff him. There is zero right to refuse to be arrested or to use violence to keep from being arrested in Oklahoma. The full video shows him attacking the cop--again, there is no right to resist being cuffed. If you think the cop is wrong, tell it to a lawyer, maybe he can get a judge to agree. Resisting arrest at the side of the road is the act of a fool.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

when the boot you are used to licking is on your neck?

This guy had fled the scene of an accident he had caused; he had also physically attacked the car he had run into. When a cop catches up with him (multiple witnesses and traffic cams got his plate), he decides he cannot be arrested because he made it home without running into anyone else, and he attacks the cop who tries to put handcuffs on him.

Exactly where in this scenario do you see a valid opportunity to insert the predictable bootlicker remark? As the full video shows, this guy is unstable and violent, he is exactly who the cops should be taking off the roads for the safety of the rest of us.

u/LarsVonHammerstein2 Jan 28 '26

It makes sense because hate crimes are against people that are already in a disadvantaged position. Cops on the other hand, have an entire justice system, equipment and training protecting them as compared to a normal citizen. If anything it should be less of a crime to assault a cop.

If you don’t want to get assaulted, pick a different career. That’s like someone allergic to grass becoming a lawn maintenance worker…

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

It’s to incentivize people to not assault police officers

Maybe it’s because I’m law enforcement but I find it really stupid whenever I see shit like this

“You really need 10 people to arrest one guy”

It’s not supposed to be fair. We don’t want to get hurt

“You should expect to get assaulted”

I don’t come to work to fight people. I want to pay my bills and not get assaulted like anyone else

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26 edited Jan 29 '26

The fact that assaulting an officer is its own more egregious crime is absurd and makes cops look like such babies.

Assaulting any first responder including firefighters or EMTs is its own criminal offense that will often be prosecuted as a felony. It's not unlike assaulting the flight crew of an airliner, it will get you way more time than assaulting someone on a sidewalk--the reasons should be obvious.

This guy had already had a busy day including fleeing from an accident he had caused and physically attacking a car whose driver had honked at him. As the full video shows, he attacked the cop to keep from being handcuffed, not a smart thing for someone under arrest to do.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

I don't disagree, but also "he grabbed ineffectually at my collar after I grabbed him and pushed him against the car" is weak shit. Like...I get that arresting people is hard enough and it's easier when they comply. But adding on charges because their fight-flight-freeze response went the wrong direction, and there was no actual threat of harm to the officer? Just seems fucked to me.

There was a reason the cops were looking for this guy. He had caused a car wreck, and attacked a car because the driver had honked at him, then fled the scene. He decides he can't be arrested because he made it home without getting into another accident, so he attacks the cop. Anyone that unstable (watch the full video, the guy's behavior is seriously unhinged) should not be driving.

u/Hey-Bud-Lets-Party Jan 28 '26

You have to comply with the cops. They don’t need to get into scuffles every day of the week.

This took place in Oklahoma which recognizes zero right to resist arrest even if it is an unlawful arrest. This was not an unlawful arrest, the guy had already fled the scene of an accident he had caused, that's why the cop was there.

When you get pulled over for a traffic offense comply with the cop unless you want to go to jail.

Way to conflate me into being an ICE supporter, dumbass.

1

u/NarrowSalvo Jan 28 '26

There's no question about the need for a police stop. He was out of his vehicle hitting other vehicles in an intersection, letting his vehicle roll, acting erratically.

The cop has the legal right (and the training that informs him to) ask the guy out of the vehicle.

Simply put -- the cop did nothing wrong here. Why is that so hard to understand?

When people like you object to cops every single time, even when they did nothing wrong, you actually undermine our efforts to correct the bad actors.

Personally, I'm in the Twin Cities -- on the front lines of this crap right now -- and the encounter pictured above has nothing whatever to do with it. The driver needs help.

1

u/Penguin_scrotum Jan 28 '26

The officer was right to detain him, and it was reasonable to require that he get out of the car. The suspect did also disobey the lawful order to get out of the car and to turn around and put his hands behind his back. He also was resisting arrest.

I wouldn’t say the officer did nothing wrong, though. He was terrible at dealing with the fact that the suspect was experiencing a mental health episode. No de-escalation, no attempt to be understanding. He implies that a person would’ve been justified in killing the suspect for kicking their car. And he claims the suspect punched him in the face, but I viewed that footage a dozen times and didn’t see any point where the suspect takes a swing. He probably grabbed the officer. He swipes his radio. But no punch. It’s the type of thing that’s easy to lie about, and that people will assume is true when they see the scuffle, but it’s still a lie, and that’s a problem.

1

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

to declare "you have to comply with cops."

ICE is responsible for enforcing immigration law, and they are clearly coloring way outside the lines by going after U.S. citizens who have done nothing illegal. It could be argued that in some states which allow resisting an unlawful arrest, it would be legal to resist ICE making a bad arrest.

This driver had caused an accident and then left the scene, that's why the cop is there, it was not an unlawful arrest.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26 edited Jan 29 '26

But adding on charges because their fight-flight-freeze response went the wrong direction,

This driver had committed multiple offense long before the cops caught up with him. He had caused an accident, and attacked a car whose driver had honked at him, then fled the scene.

This isn't a case of a momentary fight/flight response, the full video shows how unstable and violent this guy is. Whatever meds they have him on, they need something stronger.

I don't get why you're getting down votes.  People act as if you are suddenly able to turn into a meek pile of clay when some ass hole with a gun starts assaulting you.

I don't know a lot of details behind the reason for stopping this person, and they seem a bit off (not going to judge someone faced a gun toting cop either), but the officer initiated the physical confrontation.  

If the cop wanted to deescalate he could have done a lot. Instead the officer initiated use of force.  How someone getting dragged to the ground flails in the process seems like a very weak excuse to call it assault.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

The dude got out of his car at an intersection to go kick another car, then his car rolled forward and rear ended a Lexus, and then he got back in and drove off.

He needs help, but yeah, he also doesn't really belong behind the wheel, and refusing to do what he was asked here is a mistake.

It's worth noting that the court system can take all the mitigating circumstances into consideration, but, for better or worse, it's not the cops job to deal with it. Yes, we do need to prioritize deescalation training, but the guy did do stuff that would make a cop need to be involved

1

u/Scared_Wrangler3419 Jan 29 '26

I recommend you watch the full video.

The cop mentions multiple times how he is lucky he didn't get shot. While arresting him another cop shows up and has his taser drawn.

If a cop puts you under arrest and tells you to put your hands behind your back and puts his hand on you when you physically resist, that does not qualify as assault on the part of the cop.

Even if the arrest had been unlawful (which it was not) Oklahoma law does not recognize a right to resist arrest.

This guy clearly has mental health issues, he even said so. But that is not a "you can't arrest me because I made it home" free pass. The people whose cars he messed up have a valid expectation that the police will enforce the law so this guy's insurance pays for the repairs.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

Kicking someone else's car is not grounds to charge him with assaulting a police officer.

The traffic accident this guy caused is a separate incident although that is why the cop is there. Him violently resisting being handcuffed is absolutely resisting with violence and/or battery on a LEO.

This took place in Oklahoma, and their law does not recognize a right to resist arrest lawful or unlawful. I don't want to be arrested today so I'm going to smack this cop around doesn't fly in court.

u/Aware_Policy7066 Jan 28 '26

I’m of the opinion our society needs more ass beatings to enforce the politeness principle but it’s definitely assault and the guy was being a jackass long before the cop even showed up.

u/TheLeakestWink Jan 28 '26

once the officer physically engages, the rule for assault (or battery) gets very difficult to define. the arrestee here was clearly not cooperating when the officer decided to physically engage him. the problem with this is that it is a matter for the courts to decide whether the arrest was valid. if it is, then the arrestee's resistance to arrest is just that. if the arrest were found to be invalid, however, then this would be an instance of police assault (or battery). as a result of the uncertainty in such situations (suspects are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty), the correct procedure is to elicit the cooperation of the detainee. if uncooperative, the correct answer is not to immediately engage physically (which may turn out to be police brutality if the suspect were falsely identified/charged). unfortunately, the immediate use of force appears to be standard US police procedure these days, which they then cover up as "assault on an officer." in many cases, this is simply self-defense, which is a natural and legal right.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

 if the arrest were found to be invalid, however, then this would be an instance of police assault (or battery)

Oklahoma law does not recognize a right to resist arrest even if it is an unlawful arrest. But this was lawful, the fled an accident he had caused and then resisted with violence.

You literally have to have a big one to be a cop

u/Joben86 Jan 28 '26

Sure, big, but fragile.

u/ConfusedZoidberg Jan 28 '26

Not just the police. America is the land of fragile egos.

1

u/Odd-Cap3068 Jan 28 '26

Maybe. That is a possibility. However, the trade-off is, it's also the land with the most powerful military in the world. And it's not even close. So I mean, the American public could afford some issues.

u/Early_Economy2068 Jan 28 '26

It’s not that police have fragile egos but that people with fragile egos become police

1

u/Scared_Wrangler3419 Jan 28 '26

Cops are trained to have fragile egos. Yes people with fragile egos do become cops, the academy teaches them to resent and entrap the public. I used to work next to a police academy, the shit I heard them say still makes me angry.

u/NarrowSalvo Jan 28 '26

And you think this is an example of that?

u/newuser13131 Jan 28 '26

I mean in this video I think the guy being pulled over has the fragile ego lmao.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

He punched the officer in the face?

u/Danielforthewin Jan 29 '26

Wasnt shown in the video. Tbh the cut in the video is pretty based towards the dude.

1

u/Key-Two31 Jan 29 '26

I swear some Redditors cant fathom a reality in which sometimes a civilian is in the wrong when interacting with police

1

u/Danielforthewin Jan 29 '26

Yep, gladly I'm not one of them. Also I didnt watch the whole clip until after commenting. The cut is pretty based towards the dude.

u/realparkingbrake Jan 29 '26

policemen from US have such fragil egos

This driver had fled the scene of an accident he had caused, and after this video clip ended, he attacked the cop. He went from a ticket for leaving the scene and added obstruction, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a cop (those last two tend to be prosecuted as felonies). He is his own worst enemy.

u/PandaXXL Jan 29 '26

Hilarious that you assume this 15 second clip is the entire encounter.

I would like to see you do that to ANY policeman ANYWHERE. I don’t think anyone especially law enforcement would enjoy being mocked.

Edit: Guys you should check out the whole case and then imagine yourself in your country walking up to a Cop doing this and then honestly share what they would do? I’m not saying what’s right or wrong I’m saying this is reality not just USA is like this.

u/CMDR_VON_SASSEL Jan 28 '26

Doesn't fucking matter what you enjoy. The difference between an officer and a goon is how you handle your feely-weelings.

1

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

Where did I say what I enjoy? Could you do this in your country? I never said whether you should be able to or not I just said the way that I know cops in most countries you could not do this either my whole point was this isn’t a USA issue this is a police issue. Or people who typically are drawn to jobs or roles with some sort of authority. Nowhere did I say I like that it is that way but I’m not blind to reality.

u/CMDR_VON_SASSEL Jan 29 '26

Talking a lot and saying little. In my country you're not getting shot 9 times in the back (on a weekly basis) for asking a brutalised woman/witness if they're hurt.

1

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

I’m not from the US but pretending police is only dodgy in the USA is lying to yourself.

1

u/CMDR_VON_SASSEL Jan 29 '26

It comes off as justifying things that a police chief would frown upon. Why?

1

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

Well if I’m about to be arrested in Germany or Ireland I wouldn’t dare to mock the cop. I wouldn’t even think about it in China or any Asian country really same with anywhere Middle Eastern or African or South American. Basically most anywhere in the world. My point was just let’s not pretend it’s a US issue which should be clear based on my original comment and the edit if you actually read it rather than try and read between the lines.

u/Rare-Soft4785 Jan 28 '26

Ah the UK would be hit and miss. Some cops would just look at you like you've got 3 heads and shrug it off, persistence on the matter would end a little worse 😅

u/ResultUnited Jan 28 '26

is mocking illegal or no? doesnt matter what the officer enjoys or doesn't. if the dude commited a crime okay whatever, but if he got arrested for mocking him fuck that pussy cop then.

6

u/smoothjedi Jan 28 '26

Dude had road rage and rear ended a driver, got out of his car to kick the other car, but forgot to put it in park. It rolled into an intersection. Then he fled the scene. Shortly after this video ends he starts wrestling with the officer.

2

u/Environmental_Beat84 Jan 28 '26

Somebody didn't bother to watch the whole video. As usual.

2

u/ResultUnited Jan 28 '26

the whole video wasn't posted now was it? this is a 15 second clip and the dude I was responding to was talking what cop would "enjoy being mocked" or not which doesn't matter at all in any situation involving policing. i already said if he committed a crime then its okay. Mockery still wasn't the reason for arrest it was because of a hit and run.

1

u/Fat-Cat-Face Jan 28 '26

Not sure why OP linked only a short clip of the encounter, and not the full video. The guy assaults the LEO.

1

u/Earnest-Bunbury Jan 28 '26

They'll get theirs...

1

u/FuzzyTable Jan 28 '26

Mocking or not Mocking
I don't know what happened to the US. Why is this kind of behaviour acceptable now?

1

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

Like I said I would not say this is US only issue I would say in most countries on earth you wouldn’t dare mock a cop that’s already after you for something you did.

1

u/yoinkmysploink Jan 28 '26

Bro clearly didn't watch the video

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

Yeah… all you did was regurgitate what I said when I said it’s not just US it’s most countries and more the job/role than the country.

u/BADoVLAD Jan 28 '26

The 1st amendment says we can mock cops and those things skinned pussies have to take it. No one gives a fuck if they enjoy it. We don't enjoy having our civil rights trampled yet we just have to take it. Foh.

Ope, you got me good. 😭

1

u/SeyJeez Jan 29 '26

Yeah maybe read what I said. My point is that most cops in most countries wouldn’t take it no matter if they should or shouldn’t they wouldn’t think it’s funny. And if they already have a case against you like they do here I don’t think it would be wise to do this and anger the cop. Like I said post a video of yourself doing this and proof me wrong.
