I said, "Well, right now it's to take Yeah, I said it's to take pictures and remember it's on camera, smart guy. This [ __ ] don't make no sense. There's something else. This guy is like high-strung. He's kind of being a jerk. So, I get an assistant. So, he asked what's my purpose and I said, "Well, right now it's um to take pictures." He was wanting to get real close and stay off my camera, right? I tend to get nervous when people act like that, right? Because um a lot of the times that's when they start trying to grab you cuz they so badly, you know, don't want to be on camera yet they walk up to a camera, right? And so, they start trying to put their hands on you. Hey. There's our buddy. So again, you have no business to state like I mean, you understand this is a school district. We have parents and students that come in here, right? You you refuse to state any business being here. Do you have any business in being here? >> Do you want me to talk or you just going to talk? I'm not sure. Go ahead. I'll let you. I was trying to answer you and you talked over me, so Go for it. I'll give you another opportunity >> for it. I already told you part of what my business was. And what is that? I told you. Do you not remember or I don't think you answered it. So, go ahead and restart. I did. Yeah. Okay, what's your business in being here? But I gave you part of that. You're blocking the young lady here. Yeah, I gave you a good portion of that already. Can Can you state your business in being here? I I did. What is your business in >> I also don't have to, right? >> No, you don't have to. Yeah, yeah. But then I have to say this that when students and parents walk in here, this is a place that we have to keep as a district office and we have to make sure that there isn't suspicious behavior. We don't know you. You haven't identified yourself or your purpose. >> I don't know you. You haven't identified yourself. >> My name is And I have said part of what my purpose is. >> Okay, so what Can you tell me your name? No. Okay. So, you're not going to identify yourself. Yep. And then can you tell me your name? >> if you want. Do you want a last name? I I don't need your last name if you said you're not going to identify yourself. Well, Deho is my last name. Is that really your information? That's what what I go by. I mean, can I help you? That's it. I'm just turning in a time sheet to Christie. Okay, I'll take it. Oh, thank you so much for your help. Nice to meet you. All right, I'll I'll I'll give it to you right now. Okay, thank you. Appreciate it. Okay, Ben. You have a good day. All right, you too. Try not to be so aggressive next time and maybe a little more professional, huh? I I'm not the person who's unprofessional. >> Yeah, you were. You were very unprofessional. You too, babe. Jesus. I'm not the person who was unprofessional. I just got in your face and told you you couldn't be here and get your camera off me and all this other nonsense, but he's not the one who was unprofessional. Unless you see something that's legitimately, you know, concerning and an imminent threat or immediate threat, something of that nature, there's never a reason to act like that, right? Never. Oh, he's coming out. Yeah, try to hit me with the door again. Whoa. idiot Who came out and just flung the door open with his [ __ ] ass? He knew No one I'm standing right there. He could see me standing right there. Tried to hit me with the You do that to everybody? Or just people with cameras? This time I'll let you hit me. Go ahead. I'm going turn my body camera back on. I'm going to move out of the way just like I would any for anybody else. This is where I'm standing in in relation to the door. And as he comes out, I will move just as fast as I would for anyone else. I'm not going to jump out and let's see what he does. Now, he just came and tried to fling the door open into me and I had to put my hand out to stop it from hitting me cuz it would have hit me. Um matter of fact, it hit me cuz I put my hand out, but um he didn't just open it lightly, right? He was trying to hit me with the door. Um clear as all day. So, we'll go ahead and give him another opportunity. Yeah, that's a violation of the fire code, buddy. Nope, there you go. Look at you. You know that's a violation of the fire code. We're going to send a picture of that to the fire marshal for you. And so, where do I go to get assistance at, ma'am? Pardon me? Where do I go to get assistance? For uh for records. A records request? Public records request? Uh-huh. We have a portal online. Um here to do it in person though. Okay, you can just write it down and leave it with me. Well, you know, I don't have a pen and paper, right? But I >> you'd like to enter in? I'd have you guys write it for me though. I can't do that. You can write it for yourself. >> Uh I suggest you actually look the law up. It says written or verbal, so you have to do that is the the correct terminology there. There you go. Yeah, go go ahead. I'll I'll give it to you verbally there. Okay. Cool. What's going on? I was just hanging out. How you doing? Pretty good. I don't know if this guy wants to talk to you guys or something. Give me a minute. Hey, good. Good. Go ahead. I'll take your PRI Go ahead. I'll give him a minute. I'm good. What's going on? He's asked for a public records request. I was trying to take that down for him. Okay. Yeah, I'll do it in a minute. I'll be back in a minute. All right, I'm going to leave this with you. I'm going to go do my job. I'll just ask for help again when I need it. I'll see you at the door. You'll be out the door if you violate First Amendment order. Are you willing to talk to me? I didn't call you, bro. I know you didn't call me. Are you willing to talk to me? Well, I I don't need anything from you. Cool. >> I was talking to everybody, right? Look at us. Don't make it up. That's it. Miss, do you need the police at all? I feel okay. I'm good. I'm going Do you mind if I talk to you? All right, Bay fan. Pay close attention to what I catch him saying on audio. You know your job better than I do. So, Yeah. do whatever you're obligated to do. Okay. And if that's nothing, then leave it. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. So, let me ask you a question. Why would you tell these people that I'm trying to get a rise out of them? Do you understand that we got you on my mic saying that and then if they attack me because of what you just told them, you made the police department liable? So, Do you get that? Do you get that? You're not talking to me. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm talking to you. I am talking to you. I am talking to Okay. You have a good day. You have a good I just spoke to you, so as a matter of fact, bring your sergeant. Is this your sergeant? I And and let me get your name and badge number as well. Are you a sergeant? No, sir, I'm not. Officer Ram Bring your sergeant. Officer Ram Ram Competi. We have no crime here. What's your What's your badge number? 347 And what about you? Uh 298, sir. Yeah. And name? Officer Whitaker And again, bring your sergeant because what you just told those people was not okay. If they attack me because of what you just said, right? So, I'm giving you a verbal cease and desist. Don't ever tell anybody that and I'm going to send one to your department as well. Don't ever tell anybody that about me again. You don't know what I'm doing. To say that I'm trying to get a rise out of people and if somebody says, "Oh, he wants a rise. Cool, let me go punch him in the face then." You caused that by saying what you just said. Right? You're entitled to your opinions. No, it's not an opinion. That's a fact. You would have caused that and you would be liable and make the people's money liable, right? The city liable. Don't tell people that [ __ ] You don't get to use your >> going to argue with you. I'm not telling you to argue with me. I'm speaking, you listen, right? So, Okay. I have nothing to Don't use your you could get your sergeant. Um I don't have to bring my sergeant. >> Yeah, you do. I'm asking for a sergeant. >> Okay. Right? I just saw you do something wrong. I'm going to file a complaint with your sergeant on you, so bring your sergeant. It's that simple. Right? You don't go in and tell people they're trying to do this. They just want to rise. They're just being jerks. You know your job better than he does. So, if you think you don't have to do it, don't do it. I got this mic strong. I got you on on the audio saying that, guaranteed. On top of that, your body cam was probably on, so We are going to go ahead and There's no crime here. This gentleman is upset because of something I said. Correct. He went in the office and told the the workers here that he's just trying to get a rise out of you. I've seen him before. He's just here to cause problems. If they come out and say, "Oh, he wants to cause problems. Cool, let me go punch him in the face since he wants to cause problems." He caused that because of what he said. I just gave him a verbal cease and desist to never say anything like that about me again. I'm going to also send you guys paperwork through my lawyers on that. We'll give you guys a cease and desist. It is not okay for police officers to use their personal opinions and say stuff like that that may cause other people harm because that very well could cause somebody else harm. I've seen it happen before, okay? So, that's what he said. I want to file a complaint, verbal complaint with you on this officer. I have him on camera and audio saying You can if you want to do a formal complaint, you can have to go to the police department and then you can do it there. There's there's a form you have to fill out and if you go to the police department, I can show you where that form is. Yeah, I can just give it to you, ain't that true? >> No. You can You can go You have to go down to the police department. I'll check your policy. Each one's different as far as that aspect goes. What's your name and badge number? Uh my name's uh Corporal Tom Platina. My badge number is 310. I'll I'll I'll send the complaint in. I I I have your guys' emails. I already know how to do it. All right, sounds good. So, yeah, not okay. >> else we can do? You got it. You're good? Uh I've been good, man. Okay. Not okay. We just need to clean up the the the bad policing here. That's trash. That's a garbage. We don't want to see that [ __ ] So, this dude just walked in. First thing he said is, "I've seen this guy before. He's trying to get a rise out of you. I You know, he's trying to cause problems." Or I forget exactly what his wording was, but I have it on the audio. And it's not okay what he said, right? So, we're going to send in the audio and he just admitted to saying it to his his corporal. So, we're going to send in the audio and and you know, file a complaint against them. It's not okay that cops do that. That's the worst [ __ ] thing they could say, right? And then to tell people don't do your job, right? You know your job better than he does. Just if you don't have to help them, don't help them. Just don't talk to them. Blah blah blah. That is the worst the absolute worst thing that anyone can say. That is the worst thing that anyone can say. I'll just I'll just go knock on the other one. Now, you caused a lot of [ __ ] holy [ __ ] Are you cussing in here? Yeah, I said you caused a lot of [ __ ] huh? I didn't. Yeah. It sounds like you are. No, I No, if you guys would have been professional, there would be no [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> If you knew and respected our rights, there'd be no [ __ ] No, that would be right. I just asked your business and you didn't want to say. No, you were getting erratic and unprofessional and >> one of us that are that argued? You mean spoke? >> us that are irrational and unprofessional. Oh, got you. Yeah. Just spoke back to you. Tried to stay away from you as you kept trying to get close to me, so. Yeah, and again, that cop now gets a citizen's complaint because of what he told them, right? To say "I've seen this guy before. He's just trying to cause problems." And and da da da da da. You don't get to say that as a cop because like I said, these come out and decide that oh, I'm going to punch him in the face since he wants to cause problems. That's what he's looking for. They just made the city liable. The school district would be liable. The idiot who did it would be liable, right? Firsthand. We got to see where she's at. How's it going? Good. How are you doing? Oh, I'm all right. Public records request will eventually come to me, so they said you need me to take your public records request. I just wanted to make sure I got it right, so Yep. Usually we get them online. They type them in, so we get exactly what you're saying, but I'll go ahead and write it down. So, go ahead and give it to me. Yeah, so every staff member that I interacted with today, I want their full names. I don't have that information. I don't know who you're referring to. >> be in the video. You could ask your coworkers. I don't have their names either cuz they wouldn't identify themselves, so I can't help you. >> of every staff member I interacted with.

So but this stuff for e-discovery all comes to me. So I thought I'd come out and make sure that I had it correct. >> Yeah, make it easy. The the lady um came out and she was >> You know, I would say there's two people who probably were a little frightened, right? Like if you watch the news and the and if someone comes in aggressive and you know, with all the things that happened in the world, especially at schools with >> Who said I came in aggressive? I'm not saying. I'm just saying that people probably were scared and concerned as as people would be, right? >> You're familiar with fight and flight, right? I'm I'm familiar with it, yeah. So typically when somebody's scared unless they're an aggressive person, they're going to try to get away from the situation. Potentially so. I mean that can be debated, >> a door into me and stuff. Wait, I mean I I guess we would say that like I don't have any that. I'm just saying that I can understand people who maybe are intimidated by a camera or possibly are just afraid because of the >> that's a feeling that's fine but it's when it goes into action, right? That's what it's fight flight or freeze. >> to hit you with a door cuz they're coming out, right? You We would assume that people in your guys's position would be professional enough to understand that this is a public space. If it's a camera and you don't understand it, you don't go trying to hit the guy with a door, right? Like so there's kind of no excuse for it. professional spaces or you know, they sometimes go two ways. There's an expectation of professionalism from the people who are expecting professionalism from us, too. Oh, I was professional. The guy asked, "Do you need anything?" I said, "No, I'm good." And then it it just went worse and worse and then the guy left, went and talked to that guy in that office and I was just standing by the door and he came walking by the door, didn't give me a chance to move and said, "Boom!" And I knew he was going to do it so I had my hand out and it bumped him back. So Well, I >> And I did unprofessional. So if somebody acts like an [ __ ] somebody acts like an [ __ ] I'm going to you know, call them out. I got your public records request in here so you'll have an acknowledgement within 10 days through the portal that I told you about so it'll come in through there and have a link to like a It's almost like a drop box but it's not but it's a internal thing that you can use to access those. Yep. Good luck with the phone calls and emails and stuff. Oh, I have no worries there. Thank you, though. Enjoy your day. Yep, you too. No worries there until there's 10,000 of them. Like I said again, it's that victim [ __ ] that they do, right? You come in with a camera, they don't like it, they don't understand it, they act a certain way and then they play victim. You know, "Oh, he's just trying to get a rise. Oh, he's just starting stuff with us. You're being unprofessional. Blah blah victim victim victim victim." They just play victim. Um It's [ __ ] disgusting. So anyway, I'm done. I got all the
