How's it going?
What's up?
What do you guys need?
Nothing, man.
You can get back to work.
Huh?
Nothing.
You can get back to work.
OK.
I'm just making sure we're doing an investigation.
You guys just don't walk up on our scene.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm actually documenting the investigation.
Just don't interrupt me.
Get back to work.
Well, don't worry about it.
OK?
Yeah.
Get back to work.
Don't worry about it.
Thanks, man.
OK.
Doing all right?
I'm having problems with filming.
When I do have a problem with it, you can come back on the back lot.
We're all personal partners.
Am I detained?
No, sir.
OK.
I'll see you guys later.
I'm welcoming you.
That's fine.
What I do have a problem with is going to the back parking lot.
What's your name?
I don't need to give you my name.
I don't do that, sir.
Yeah, you do.
All right.
I'll go FOIA your policies and see if you do.
You're not sure?
It's not on your shirt.
No.
How do I know you're even a cop?
Really?
I'm at the police station.
They're filming us up here.
That doesn't mean anything.
Here's what I'm telling you, sir.
I don't want you in the police car parking lot.
I'm asking you to leave the police car.
What's your name?
I'm asking you to leave the police car.
Carney.
C-A-R-N-E-Y.
I'm asking you to leave the police car.
Don't get jumpy, sweetheart.
What's your name?
Don't call me sweetheart.
Don't get jumpy.
I'm asking you to leave the police car.
I'll call you when I want.
You understand?
Don't call me sweetheart.
What's your name?
You got a bunch of disrespectful punks over here, huh?
Shoemate, what's your badge number?
Is it 235?
Who's the kid?
What kid?
He's a police officer, sir.
He's a cop.
I thought you had to go through puberty before you could become a police officer.
I'm not on the property.
I'm on the public sidewalk.
No, this is a public easement right next to the road.
You want me to walk in the road?
That's what you want me to do?
You can't be videoing our personal vehicles, okay?
Hey, get out of the street.
I don't want you to get hit by a car.
Can you talk to me?
Sir, not if you guys are going to surround me.
No.
We're not surrounding you.
Okay.
I'm sitting here trying to talk to you.
All right, then have your boy quit trying to flank me.
He's not my boy.
All right.
Can you just talk to me?
Talk to me, okay?
I'm sitting here trying to be reasonable with you.
Am I not?
Yeah, and then your boy's trying to flank me.
He's not.
Look, I'm not new to this, all right?
I know what you guys do.
We're not trying to flank you.
I don't even know what that means.
So go ahead, continue on.
He's over there.
I don't even know what that means.
I got all you in my sight.
Listen, listen.
We don't care what you're doing.
Okay.
You can record.
You can do whatever the heck you want to do.
Cool.
Okay.
Oh, really?
You can't record our personal vehicles.
Really?
Okay.
Let me ask you.
We can't go out and record your personal vehicles, can we?
Do you have dash cams?
Yeah.
So you record personal vehicles all the time?
Nope.
Yeah, you do?
They are not constantly recorded.
When you turn on your lights and sirens, your dash cam turns on, right?
Have a good one, guys.
Why not make a Friday Flashback Firebanger compilation on the one and only, the king
and the master of all trolls, James Freeman, right?
And I can guarantee you that this is a special edition that you have not seen of James Freeman,
so I highly recommend you stick around for this compilation all the way to the very end.
Huge shout out to Lackluster and Harvey Freebird.
They did an excellent job on their videos that they made of James Freeman.
I'm going to leave the links to those videos in the description down below.
Go check them out if you haven't yet.
Trust me, guys.
You're not going to want to miss this one and their videos as well.
And also a huge shout out to Pigs Under Pressure for making all this happen along with you guys.
Guys, thank you for the support and everybody has been supporting on this.
Keep supporting.
Thanks a million.
And of course, let me say thanks again to Harvey Freebird because he's another one that
also helped and made this happen with Pigs Under Pressure.
Now, with that being said, everyone's links will be in the description.
Go subscribe to everybody.
Let's keep watching.
Oh, pop your popcorn and roll one up.
Okay, that's fine.
Can I ask you for a favor since my officer is still conducting the investigation?
You can ask me for whatever favors you want, but I'm not going to do it.
Can you back up?
No, there's no reason for me to back up.
What's your name?
My name is Sergeant Mata.
Sergeant Mata.
Okay, there's absolutely nothing I'm doing that's interfering with your investigation.
What I'm doing is a constitutionally protected activity.
I am documenting what's going on here.
I'm not interfering with you.
You don't interfere with me.
Turn around.
Walk away.
I said turn around.
Walk away.
I said turn around.
Walk away.
Turn around.
Walk away.
You know, the Supreme Court disagrees with you.
So shut up and walk away.
And what's your involvement here on this?
I'm documenting it.
For what purpose?
Because it's my right to do so.
The people want to see what you're doing, and we have every damn right to see it.
And that's fine.
Then walk away.
I haven't noticed anything wrong?
Then walk away.
Not until you walked up.
Then walk away.
I don't want to hear you.
You're still running your mouth.
You're still doing this, and I need you doing this.
Okay.
Walk away.
I'm going to remain here for my officers, just to make sure that everything's fine.
Because I don't even know who you are.
You don't need to know who I am.
Did you identify yourself to anybody?
Did you identify yourself?
Okay.
You mentioned that you had something to do with them.
You're a public servant.
I am.
I identify myself.
You don't need to know who I am.
You need to shut the hell up and walk away.
Okay.
I'll remain here.
You work for me.
I don't have to work for you.
You work for me.
I don't have to work for you.
Okay?
When I give you an order, you obey.
Do you understand, sir?
No, I do not.
Go ahead and have a seat over there.
Have a seat over there on the train tracks for me while I figure out who you are.
I'll remain where I'm at.
Hey, guys, I need you to call in Sergeant Mata with Sarita Police Department.
We need to find out who he is.
Sit on the curb while we figure out who you are.
Are you under investigation?
I'll remain where I'm at.
Are you under investigation for anything?
I am here with my officers.
Are you under investigation?
I will remain here.
We're conducting a traffic stop, and I'm done talking.
Are you under investigation for anything?
I am done talking.
Are you pleading the fifth on that?
Yeah, we'll find out.
You do what you must, sir.
You're under investigation now.
You do what you must.
You are now under investigation.
City Attorney, City Manager, Secretary of Human Resources.
What's up?
Hey, I got a phone call about somebody filming.
You got a phone call about it?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Yeah, somebody called me and said somebody's filming.
Okay.
So who are you with?
Who am I with?
Yes, sir.
It's just me.
Yeah, I don't see anyone else.
Yeah, so who are you with?
Well, like I said, it's just me.
Nobody else here.
Just me.
Okay, did someone ask you to come up and film?
Did someone ask me to?
Yes, sir.
That's irrelevant.
What's your name?
Wendell Metric.
What's your position?
Interim City Manager.
Interim City Manager?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Human Resources here?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Could I speak to them?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
You know what I've learned?
The more experience I have recording the government,
the more nicer you are and the more calm and cordial you are towards the government,
the more upset that they get.
You know, you can still troll them, of course, but keeping it cool and calm and collected,
just like James does, is epic.
And that's what makes it professional when you do these First Amendment audits, guys.
And it's definitely not an easy thing to do, and I always say this on my videos,
especially when your freedom is on the line and they're trying to violate you
and also trying to tell you you cannot go in here and there, which is a public-accessible area,
and they make up their own restricted areas as they go in these buildings.
Come on, now.
It's not easy, but shout-out to James on this.
Whoa.
What's going on?
Is there a reason why you're filming our personal videos?
Don't talk.
Hello.
You guys realize that this U.S. Supreme Court ruled that you do not, and it is not,
a privilege of your freedoms to film us, right?
You guys realize that this U.S. Supreme Court ruled that you do not, and it is not,
a privilege of your freedoms to film us, right?
You realize that, right?
My question is, why are you filming personal vehicles?
You don't understand much, though, so why don't you shut up and get back in your car and get out of here.
Have a good one.
I don't know what the maximum IQ is that's required, but there is a threshold.
If your IQ is too high, you cannot get hired here.
What's your name and badge number, sir?
Name and badge number?
What's your name?
I'm not giving it.
You're not giving me your name?
No, sir.
Okay.
Burwell?
Well, you made contact.
Yeah, we're just—you made contact.
Can I have your name?
Do I need to?
I need it for a report.
Do I need to give you my name?
You have to give me your name for the report.
I want to do a complaint.
Can I have your name?
Yep.
Burwell.
Burwell?
What's your badge number?
I need it for the report.
You came up to our stop.
What's your name?
I need it for the report.
Give me your name.
What's your name?
Yep.
Do we need to give you our name?
Yep.
Okay.
We do.
Because if you're going to come up to our stop and start interfering, then it's different,
okay?
He's live, okay?
So you're going to get in big trouble.
Can I talk to you?
You're a lot more calm.
No.
Okay.
We're just filming from a distance.
We didn't talk to you.
We didn't interfere with anything.
That's a lie.
You have it on record.
Did he say something to you?
I didn't say something to him.
What did he say?
He's not talking to us.
So you were done with your stop and walking away, so I came to identify you.
No, we were here.
When I came up to you?
What?
When I came up to you just now, right here?
Him.
And you guys are together.
Right?
Are you guys together?
No, we're not together.
No.
You're not together?
I'm married.
Do you need something?
No, I just needed to identify you.
That's it.
Okay.
Do you guys have identification?
Do I need to give it to you?
Yep.
Why is that?
You came up to us while we were working.
I did?
Yep.
Where are you right now?
You're right here.
You were walking away, and you told me you were walking away.
Oh, yes.
I'm on a call right now.
You were leaving, and you know he was.
He was driving away.
You were walking away.
I came to get your identification.
I'm still physically on a call.
I'm still at the same place.
All right.
You're being pretty ridiculous now.
Now, that little rookie-looking cop right there is going to get somebody hurt one day.
He's dangerous.
He is extremely aggressive.
And, of course, you can tell that he has a major problem with being recorded.
I need your card.
I need your card right now.
For sure?
Okay.
I'll give you my name and badge number.
You know, I try not to file lawsuits.
You understand, young man?
Okay.
I'm going to make another effort.
Okay.
Well, you can back up.
You don't get to detain people.
No, you can back up.
So chill out.
Shh.
Go ahead, Nichols.
You're dismissed.
Walk away.
I'm not walking away.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
He keeps approaching me aggressively.
He's fine right here.
Nichols, we're not going to have any issues.
No, I know.
Let me.
We're fine.
Absolutely.
I have no issue with you.
I understand you guys are doing your investigation.
When's the last time you were deposed?
If you wouldn't mind.
I'm sorry.
I understand.
Let me take some deep breaths.
I get really upset when people threaten violence upon me.
I've never threatened violence upon anyone in here.
And when you tell me I'm detained and I try to walk out the door and you block my way,
that's violence.
Can you ask the violent man to leave so we can just have a calm talk?
Out the door.
I'm no threat whatsoever.
Look.
I understand that.
Ask the violent man to leave, please, so we can just be reasonable.
It's just you and I talk right now.
Okay.
She can stay and you can stay.
These two both detained me a day ago.
She didn't detain me.
No.
So that's what you and I are just talking.
You're free to leave at any point you want.
Okay.
I understand you wanted to talk.
And let's have him leave.
Please.
You might just step out.
Absolutely.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Appreciate you.
Him as well.
He detained me as well.
She can stay as backup.
You already know I got no weapons.
If I were going to hurt you, I'd hurt you.
If you were going to hurt me, you'd hurt me.
Okay.
Cool.
I'll even sit down.
How's that?
Absolutely brilliant, ladies and gentlemen.
And me as an activist and me as somebody that records the government myself, I really don't
know how he does it and how he does it so well.
He does it so perfect.
I mean, that's top notch trolling right there.
Do you agree?
What media are you with?
Independent?
What's that mean?
I just do my own thing for fun.
What is your name?
My name?
Yeah.
What's your name?
I didn't give it.
But I'm not a public employee either.
That's okay.
You are.
That's okay.
Is it not your guys' policy to give your name to the public when you interact with them?
Not when I'm getting videoed?
Not when you're getting videoed so your policies go out the window when media comes around?
Do you know what our policy is?
No, but I can get a FOIA on it.
I'm not actually familiar with it.
That's why I was asking him if it's not his policy to identify when asked by a member
of the public.
So is it or no?
You don't know?
You tell me.
Well, I can go do a FOIA.
Do I really need to do that?
You could just...
Hi.
She's asking you very politely not to videotape her, sir.
Can you please not videotape an individual asking you politely?
Oh, okay.
Or anybody in the civil office.
I'd recommend getting a job in the private sector then.
Well, I can go ahead and go get a...
I find it hilarious how they're always trying to ask politely not to exercise your rights.
Alright, so, okay, so by the school resource, okay, and the Roswell Schools, okay, and yes
it is a public building, but it also is a private building.
Yes, it is a public building, but it also is a private building.
It's not owned by the city.
It's leased by the city then, is that right?
No.
Well, the city operates in there.
Public government operates in there, right?
But what I'm telling you, sir, is, okay, by the official that works there, okay, and also
by the school resource officer, alright, they do want me to put an advisement on you for
trespass.
Okay.
And they can do that.
They are allowed to do that.
Okay.
Okay, sir.
I'll definitely look into who owns it, who funds it, because these federal buildings
also, you know the federal government doesn't own any buildings.
Did you know that?
What they do, well, I'm going to explain some things to you.
I'm not with the federal government.
I know, but I'm going to explain because it may be similar to the situation.
Federal government doesn't own any of these buildings, but they lease them, and as long
as they're leasing them, the laws apply, the same laws.
It is not private as long as it's leased by a public entity, okay?
Okay.
Alright.
I have no intention of going back there.
My story is over.
Can I go now?
Well, we need to ID you so we can show in our system that you've been advised of criminal
trespass.
You know that's illegal.
You know that your department's going to get sued if you...
I don't even like suing cops.
I do this to get the videos showing that you guys are bad, not to sue you.
Right.
So you're going to unlawfully take my ID?
I'm not taking your ID.
Okay, well, I will not resist if you're going to physically take it, but I will not
willingly give up my right, my Fourth Amendment right, okay?
But I won't resist.
Okay.
If you're going to search me...
So we can get your ID...
No, you can't, but I'm not going to physically resist you from doing it.
Right.
So you're not going to get violent if we try and take the ID out?
No, no.
I will allow you to violate the crap out of my rights.
I will not physically resist you doing it.
But you realize that the personal responsibility is going to be on you, sir.
The personal responsibility?
Yeah.
The qualified immunity is gone.
You know how trespass works.
Your qualified immunity will be gone on that.
What's up?
I think she...
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Okay.
You need me to call EMS?
You don't need EMS?
Okay.
You just seemed like you were...
Something was going on with you.
Well, I find it odd that you're out here filming.
Oh, it's a...
What can we help you out with?
Nothing.
We're just...
We're good.
Thank you, though.
Okay.
If you don't have any business here, you're more than welcome to stand outside and film.
Well, I'm more than welcome to stand inside and film, too.
Uh-uh.
Don't even.
Have a good day.
Okay.
Bye.
We're asking you to stand outside, out of the way, so we can conduct our business.
I'm not interrupting your business.
I'm not interrupting your business at all.
There's not a single customer.
Just these two or is there more?
Should I go live?
You can give him a form, but until he provides the ID, he doesn't get to open it.
That's not the way it works.
Go ahead and...
Dude, you are...
How are you a lieutenant?
How are you possibly a lieutenant?
And you are so ignorant of the law.
You're so ignorant of the procedures of the department.
You can leave.
Why is that?
You can leave.
Is that...
I can or I must?
You're insulting me.
Insulting you?
Get his...
I'll go outside and...
You have a trespass warning for this facility right now.
Get the chief, please.
You are going to be placed under arrest for criminal damage, threats, and assault.
Okay?
So, right now, you are...
All right?
So, what we have to do, we have to search you.
Oh, God, that feels good.
Do it again.
Oh, God, there's something right in my leg.
All right, ****, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Get in there.
Oh, ****, yeah.
Oh, ****.
Oh, God.
Oh, I like it when you touch me like that.
****, yeah.
Oh, it feels good.
****, why'd you stop?
Bro, why'd you stop?
Oh, God.
Dude, you're rough.
You're ******* rough.
He looks at...
Squeeze my hand.
Keep squeezing.
Yeah.
Oh, ****, dude.
Oh, I'm going to cum.
Oh, yeah, don't crank my arms up, all right?
If I were a threat, you'd be ******* hurt.
I'm not a threat, you understand?
Quit trying to crank my arm up.
Stop.
Quit trying to crank my arm up.
It's a chicken.
Get his head off me.
I'm not a threat.
Get him off me.
Don't block me, bro.
Don't block me because they're hurting him.
You scumbag.
You ******* scumbag.
You don't want me to videotape them hurting him.
You're a ******* scumbag.
**** you.
You're a young punk scumbag, ************, bro.
**** you, dude.
I want to watch him be damaged.
Then shut your ******* mouth.
You back up, punk.
You back the **** up, punk.
I'm going to watch you guys damage him, and I'm going to document it.
I don't give a **** what you say.
Shut your ******* mouth.
I'm not going to hear a ******* word.
I know.
It's a chick with a dick.
She's got something to prove, bro.
Campbell?
Okay.
Yeah, no problem.
This is their *******, this is their scumbag sergeant right here, Woodrow.
Chief Nolan's ******* cock, right?
Huh?
Thank you.
Why do you guys got to be so violent with people?
You piece of ----.
Campbell?
M. Campbell.
And Woodrow's his sergeant.
All I got to say, guys, is that God is good.
I was shocked when I saw the numbers of this GoFundMe, how high we got this donation going here.
Almost $60,000.
And I heard that GoFundMe is, we're waiting for GoFundMe to verify the account.
That's why they haven't gotten the money out yet, that Roy hasn't gotten it, got it out yet.
But I don't know why GoFundMe is doing that.
Maybe because the money is so high.
I don't know, but everything should be good, ladies and gentlemen.
I guess we're going to keep you all posted on this for sure.
Huge thanks again to each and every one of you.
Without you guys, we wouldn't have this amazing support.
It's a blessing to have you guys as supporters.
And also, again, to Harvey Freebird, Roy, Pigs Under Pressure, Tug Police Suck, Lackluster.
Also, again, actually, these numbers, it looked like these numbers went up really high as soon as Lackluster posted his video from what I saw with my eyes.
So, shout out to him again, guys, and everybody.
The links to everybody's channels will be in the description below, along with the videos.
If you haven't seen the videos yet, also, they will be pinned down below, guys.
