Cop Stripped Of Badge And Gun For Mailman Arrest 

assaulting a postal worker is a federal offence.

Cops must really hate the fact they can be filmed almost anywhere now. The public saved this postman from the police, courts and prisons.

Was the cop charged with interfering with the mail?! That's a Federal crime!

ALL encounters with cops NEED to be filmed.

*No amount of "proper" training or retraining would have helped the Nazi SS; and therefore, the same is true today for NYPD race soldiers!*

New York seems like a terrible place to live in. thanks to the NYPD.

You could literally put your hands behind your back, somehow handcuff yourself, walk yourself to their car and put yourself in the backseat and American cops will charge you with resisting arrest. Also, how is a charge of resisting arrest allowed to even be made when there is no other charges? If the police had no reason to arrest you then the resisting arrest charge is bogus and should immediately be dropped unless there was actual violence against the officer that can be proved outside of the word of the officer.

These cops are no better than the gestapo.

Cops are out of control in the USA...

Postal workers are federal employees. You cannot mess with them.

It's our government's fault for not doing anything to stop this problem.

They cannot mess with a postal worker like that. All they do is deliver mail.

To "resist arrest" you have to have been charged with a crime worth being arrested for. How can you resist arrest.. When there was no warranted arrest.

so what was the initial arrest charge????? he resisted arrest while being arrested for?????

Police are out of control...unreal

Those specific cops should of been fired

How can you charge someone with resisting arrest but not charge them with a crime?

Judges. It all comes down to the Judges. You bring a guy charged with "resisting arrest" into MY COURTROOM, the first thing I'll want to know is "What were you arresting him for when he started resisting? You'd better have a solid answer or you'll be doing thirty days for contempt.

So they left everybodys mail out on street after they arrest him....isn't that a problem

Those cops are rotten

They arrest a federal employee while he's working. Where is the federal government in defending their employees?

they must of forgot that the USPS is federal which is above their level.

Ahh yes the old “resisting arrest” charge. Cop: “You’re under arrest!” Bewildered civilian: “For what?” Cop: “Resisting arrest” Catch 22 🙄

I am so sick and fed up of these cops behaviour.

All of the police officers need to lose their badges arresting a postal worker is a federal offense police officers think they are above the law they think they can do anything to people police officers need to be accountable for their actions

The charge was resisting arrest, well what were they arresting him for?

Technically the mailman outranks the cop, being a Federal employee. Prediction: Charges dropped!

American cops... It's so out of control it can't be fixed. Need to fire them all, call in the national guard for a little while to maintain order, and start the whole policing thing over again from square one. lol! 😅

How do you arrest someone for resisting arrest?

if i'm not a criminal...then a cop or cops have no authority to put their hands on me..much less kidnap me... i think resisting an unlawful arrest is a right to defend yourself...

They should have been fired

he should have gone postal on them

Arresting a federal officer isn't the smartest thing to do, and yes a postal worker is a federal officer.

city police don't have the authority to delay the US Mail. US Postal Inspector should have been informed and should have taken charge

Could the fact that his wife is a cop the real reason he's not suing the nypd, fear that she might be affected by this, cause this is crazy they had nothing better to do why were they in the area. The guy is a federal employee so what happened to government, shouldn't they have a say in this.

Nor nor rain, nor sleet, nor snow, can stop the mail only New York PD

Resisting arrest cannot be a singular reason for arrest. You can't arrest some one for resisting arrest, can't walk through a door without opening it first.

Clearly Disrespecting a Cop is an arrest-able offense, Talking back to a Cop is an arrest-able offense, Proving a Cop wrong is an arrest-able offense.

STOP ARRESTING!!!!! STOP MOLESTING!!!!! STOP!!!!! ARRESTING UNLAWFULLY!!!!! STOP PROTECTING YOUR "FAKE HONOR"!!!!!

Cops: "STOP RESISTING!" Suspect: "THEN STOP ARRESTING!"

Cops are trained to yell "STOP RESISTING" every time they are placing a person in custody so bystanders hear them and testify in court that they heard cops yelling these words making the person in custody sound guilty even if he was not resisting. The best way to stop these cops from using this strategy is through video recording showing clearly that the person was never resisting.

I am from India. I never saw America but I heard America is the superpower. I never understood what superpower means but now I do.

Now, where's my mail???

I'm proposing a new law for 2019: if the police try to arrest anyone for obviously no reason, everyone around must physically punish the oficer/officers involved as it happens to prevent the present offending officer and future officers from carrying out any more injustices.

Will you guys talk about the black woman who assaulted the white dude because of his dreadlocks?

You can't send someone to jail for just resisting. Resisting is a secondary offense after you committed another crime. And then resist.

One thing that needs to be pointed out....how can you be charged with JUST resisting arrest??? You have to be arrested for an actual crime TO BE ABLE TO RESIST THE ARREST!!

IM SO HAPPY TO NOT HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE USA

how do you get arrested for resisting arrest and that be your only charge.

why do cops always say ""quit resisting arrest''. ''quit trying to grab my weapon (pistol)'' ? Is it to self-convince, or for bystanders to create fake mental image for court room testimony? nope for me cops are always guilty.

This isn't law enforcement, it's domestic terrorism.

I think somebody needs to do a little research. It is lawful to resist an unlawful arrest.

We need to eliminate resisting arrest as a chargeable offense. It is too broad of an offense.if you tell a cop "no" it can be considered resisting.

You are legally allowed to resist an unlawful arrest.

Those aren't cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo committing another act of brutality and harassment against a black person.

It always baffles me how someone is arrested for resisting arrest. But what is the initial reason for the police interacting with the person in the first place?

Your badge simply means I have to comply with the law. It doesn't entitle you to my RESPECT...

lol american cops are like broken records "stop resisting stop resisting stop resisting stop resisting stop...."

How stupid for a cop to mess with a federal employee while working on job. 🙄 Postal inspector are above regular street cop and if you mess with the mail or its employees and hold up federal mail. You are going to feel the wrath of god.. Mail must be sorted and delivered. Post are given special protection from them being stored for simple infractions or messes with because they are a delivering federal mail.

Not obeying an unlawful order is not resisting arrest, it is self defense.

What a liar! What kind of corrupt cops do they hire?!?!?

It was not a police cruiser, as you state, it was an unmarked car and the cops were not in uniform. These cops need to be prosecuted by the USDOJ for the various federal crimes they committed, including 18 U.S. Code § 1708 - Theft or receipt of stolen mail matter gen­erally and 18 U.S. Code § 1701 - Obstruction of mails generally. They committed federal crimes while on duty and administrative punishment is not enough. Like the rest of us who commit crimes, they need to face the criminal justice system.

Glad the cop was stripped of his badge. Shared for the world to see.

"You're under arrest" For what? "For resisting arrest" ...

"I'm gonna arrest you for resisting arrest!" How does anybody convince themselves that that's making any kind of sense?

"I'm arresting you for resisting arrest!" "What was I being arrested for, that now I'm being arrested for resisting?" ? How can you be arrested for resisting something that hasn't happened?

Resisting arrest means they have to have a charge that they were arresting you for when you resisted, they can't just charge you with resisting an arrest that is without merit or even a charge.

'resisting arrest' is not a reason to arrest someone

how do you arrest someone for resisting arrest don't you have to be under arrest for something to resist arrest

I still don't understand how you can be arrested for resisting arrest with no other charges. WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL CHARGE???

The United States Supreme Court ruled that people can resist any false arrest from police even to the point of taking an officers life .

How do you get arrested for resisting arrest? The person needs to be placed under arrest for something else and resisting can be a compounded charge. Makes no sense!

Whenever a cop arrests someone for resisting arrest with no other charge. the cop should be immediately fired. That is kidnapping.

federal court has ruled that a citizen can resist a false arrest even to the death of the arresting officer !!!!

~ 2 years later, still true: The undiagnosed and untreated mentally ill walk among us. When you hire the mentally ill without a proper background check, and then give them a gun and a badge, you, the hiring authority, are then liable for what those mentally ill armed now police "officers" do. You are also costing your community big time for the lawsuits that will be sure to follow your awful hiring decisions. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

It's because the postal worker is a government employee that's why.

Those policeman should face federal criminal charges for their interference of the mail. That worker is a representative of the Post-Master General and as such obligated by contract to complete his assigned route regardless of rain, snow , sleet and hail. The unauthorized stoppage and falsified arrest now makes the officers involved in that false arrest liable for every piece of mail left unsecured on his truck. The officers also forced the postal service to re-route other carriers some on paid over-time to assist in the completing the remainder of the route affected by his false arrest. The officers involved with the false arrest each would have had to complete a "Use Of Force Report" as well as an "Officer's Report" which would explain their actions in the apprehension and since already know that the arrest was false and its arrest report a complete fabrication; then in accordance with what a prudent could conclude from this incident, then that means the "Use Of Force Reports" were also fabrications because they must reflect all pertinent psychical action prior to the point of detainment. Which strikes at the very core of the most damming issue for each and every policeman involved in that arrest and that being "Truthfulness At All Times", which every officer who wears the badge must adhere to in the performance of duty. The truthfulness if violated is punishable by termination from the department. Based on that finding every officer who wrote their report in support of the arrest is now subject to being terminated for fabricating their reports in accordance with policy and procedures of the department.

No wonder I received my mail so late

when are judges going to not let these cops get away with their word games

Isn't there some law making it a Federal offense to hold up the delivery of mail by a U.S. Postal Officer?

Why is Jamie Kennedy here? He adds nothing to the show.

they were plain clothes police officers. how would he know they were cops? they could be Anyone.

There was no arrest as there was no infraction with which to charge the USPO employee. So this was intimidation by threat of false arrest.

How can resisting arrest be the only charge? Don't the police have to be arresting you for something, in order for you to resist? Do they just walk up to people and say, you're under arrest for resisting arrest? The fact that they didn't have an initial charge should have been proof he was arrested unjustly. They were just trying to make his day tough , as the police say when they arrest someone and know the charges won't stick, it's all about the ride. It's all about taking people in, getting their picture and prints on file and just inconveniencing them for a few hours. This was a clear case of police egos out of control, they're just street thugs with badges.

Every cop that put hands on him should lose their job.

Not only anything why are local cops attacking a federal employee with no reason ??

I have a friend in Colorodo, he was being arrested for trespassing despite the fact he was on public property. He yelled "I am cooperating fully and not resisting" as they began cuffing him because he was terrified they would hurt him.

“I saw him reaching in his bag and thought he had a weapon”

First, you have to be under arrest for SOMETHING to be resisting arrest. Resisting arrest is a SECONDARY charge, not a primary charge. Screw the union and benevolent associations. The Post Master General of the United States needs to start a postal investigation on all 4 cops. They interfered with the delivery of the US Mail. All 4 need to spend time in a Federal Pen. Period.

interference with the delivery of the mail is a federal offense

Has no one cottoned on to the fact that this was St Patricks day and putting 2 and 2 together it's likely that these cops came from a bar and were too drunk to drive. They almost hit HIS van. Then when they were taking him to the station they ran into the back of another vehicle! Surely the driver is too drunk to drive! - Patrick's day! No one ever thought to have the driver breathalyzed?

When you steal drugs from the public and continue to police like a criminal. This is the results.

I'll be honest...Jamie Kennedy isn't a great guest host.

usps is a federal officer. you cannot impede a mail carrier

The yelling of stop resisting is code for esculation.....

Question “Do robots see color??” So much like the movie!! 😂😂😂😂

You should not be able to charge someone with ONLY resisting arrest. What that charge alone means is you didn't let someone with a badge kidnap you.

You have the right to resist if you have done nothing wrong, pretty logical, I would resist 100% if I knew I was innocent.

ahem, someones package just sitting in the road? So this is where my shit goes.

Resisting arrest should not be legal as a standalone charge without a proceeding charge
