Caught On Tape: Cop Jumpkicks Suspect After Shooting Him

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As regular readers are no doubt aware, there’s been no shortage of “caught on tape” police moments over the past several months. Thanks to police cruiser dash cam video, bystander cell phone recordings, and in one case, aerial footage from a local San Bernardino news helicopter we’ve witnessed a South Carolina police officer shoot a fleeing, unarmed man in the back, watched as Arizona officers battled an invincible family band in a Wal-Mart parking lot, looked on incredulous as a US Marshall destroyed a citizen’s cell phone, and followed Sheriff’s Deputies through the desert as they chased (and subsequently beat) a man who fled on a stolen horse. 

Today we bring you the following clip (circa 2012) from Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Abraham Martinez’s dash cam. Martinez was pursuing one Steven Gaydos whose crime was running a stop sign while driving a motorcycle on a suspended license and carrying two percocets in his pocket. After a high speed chase Martinez apparently decided to “disable” the bike by shooting it four times but unfortunately ended up shooting Gaydos instead. Realizing he was shot in the thigh Gaydos appears to pull over with the intent to surrender when, completely inexplicably, Martinez executes a running jumpkick to Gaydos’ midsection. Here’s the clip:

 

More from RT:

Apparently shooting a Texas motorcyclist in the thigh during a high-speed chase wasn’t enough for one state trooper, who ended up performing a leaping kick into the man’s lower body after eventually pulling him over.

 

The incident began after then-25-year-old Steven Gaydos ran a stop sign in Texas’ Chambers County. The case actually occurred back in December 2012, but only surfaced recently after the Austin American-Statesman newspaper conducted an investigation into how cops deal with fleeing suspects.

 

The chase was captured by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper Abraham Martinez’s dashcam as he raced behind Gaydos, yelling at him to pull over. Speeds of 130 miles per hour were reached during the chase and at one point, Martinez took out his gun and shot it four times in Gaydos’ direction.

 

Martinez said he was only aiming to “disable” the motorcycle, but he ended up striking Gaydos in his right thigh with one of the bullets.

 

Eventually, Gaydos could be seen slowing down as he reached an intersection and decided to pull over. However, as he tried to dismount from the bike, Martinez is seen jumping in the air towards him and kicking him in his left thigh.

 

Gaydos was taken to the ground and arrested. He was charged with evading arrest, driving with an invalid license and possessing two Percocet pills, the Statesman reported. Gaydos said at the time he knew the police were chasing him, but claimed he didn’t want to lose his bike because of a suspended license. He also questioned whether it was necessary for Martinez to shoot him.

And while that might seem like a reasonable question to ask if you’re Gaydos, Martinez would later explain that usually in these situations the suspect turns out to be a murderer or a rapist:

Past experience has taught me that people evade arrest to conceal their identity after committing felonious crimes to include but not limited to, murders, aggravated robberies, sexual assaults, burglaries, and/or the vehicle utilized to evade arrest is stolen,” he wrote regarding the incident, according to documents from his personnel file.

So I guess we're NOT going to get a story about the Wisconsin "John Doe" raids.  Single bad cop stuff is so much more important than the state systematically targeting people who oppose them politically, kicking in their doors at 1am with no warrant, threatening them into silence, denying them access to legal council and taking all their phones and computers (never to give them back).

Oh, if only there were a video.  More's the pity.

Let's pretend:

Cops show up at Janet Yellens humble abode to find out why she didn't respond to Congress' request. She runs to her garage, jumps on her "crotch" rocket and bolts. Cops chase her, try disabling the bike with a handful of rounds then give her a kick when she stops.

Is it all good at that point?

Of course the answer is NO, the cop won't just lose his badge, job, and probably get put in prison, OF COURSE he would then be sued for every freaking penny him & his entire family ever owned! (That's right EVER)

Because that's how Yellen & Co. play the game, FOR YOUR LIFE!

I wish I knew.  That story seems like it would be right dead-center in the ZH wheelhouse.  I can't explain it.  There's no damned way they don't know about it by now.

Even if it weren't true, or there were serious doubts floating around over whether it happened the way it's alleged, then fine, put up a story debunking it or offering another perspective on it.  But IGNORING it?  I thought that's what the MSM was for.  Not what I expect from ZH.

It strains credibility that there's nothing from the Tylers about it yet.

From the linked article:

"Yet no one in this family was a “perp.” Instead, like Cindy, they were American citizens guilty of nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights to support Act 10 and other conservative causes in Wisconsin. Sitting there shocked and terrified, this citizen — who is still too intimidated to speak on the record — kept thinking, “Is this America?” "

Tyler hasn't done a story on it because the "John Doe" raids aren't real and nothing but a fear mongering story perpetuated by right wing websites.

What's freaky is I never knew about the raids until a saw a link in the comments here. And when I went looking for information I kept finding stuff being blocked.

If you search for "John Doe Raids" on reddit, for example, and set the time frame to the past 24 hours, all the links are either suppressed or deleted threads. I only found a handful of articles in local Wisconsin papers discussing it, and most of the time they brought up the gag order. How the fuck can anyone justify a gag order that denies access to your own lawyer?

As soon as everybody learns the new 3 tier legal system things will go alot smoother

Tier 1 : Above the Law : Clinton not answering email requests, Federal reserve ignoring requests for information, Roscoe Peco cops raged out on roids and the uber uber wealther 0.1% Receives payouts from taxes

Tier 2 : Semi-Above the Law : Banks who get ;'fined' for running drug money and have to pay off the government, corporations who pay no taxes, Wall street insiders, lawyers etc.. Not hardly taxed at all

Tier 3: You. Can be shot on site by any cop for any reason as long as the cop can cover it up with a placed taser or some drugs. Justice may never come, or take many many years.  Taxed heavily with Tax SWAT units on standby if you don't like it.

I propose that there are only two tiers.  Your 1 and 2 should be merged.  Banksters don't pay fines.  Their customers pay fines passed on to them as a cost of doing business.  Banksters never go to jail.

All of congress should also be added to your tier 1.  

Definitely tiers though...

Seems like they will keep ratcheting up the provocations, until people snap and lash out.

Then they will have 'cover' for Swarming SWATS and ROBO-COPS.  US MIC is dying to bring out Robo Cops.  Every crisis is manufactured, and used as a pretext for the next step in their Totalitarian Plan.

What they may not have factored in, is what I suspect might happen eventually: that some people will retaliate, but do so quietly and much later.  Months or years later.  Just a hunch.

I don't hate illegal aliens.  The vast majority of them from Mexico and Central America are just people that want to make some money and help their families.  If you were in the same position and there was an idiot country to your north that didn't protect their borders and had politicians and businesses that encouraged you to come and pick their crops, wash their cars and clean their yards, you'd jump at the chance.

No, I don't hate the illegal aliens.  I hate the system that has allowed them to come here.

It's actually a very simple fix, too.  We have H1b visas for tech workers.  There should be a similar type of guest worker program for migrant workers that do the jobs that illegals are doing now.  If you get proper documentation, you can come here for some specificied period of time and do the work.  If you don't have the papers, you're arrested and immediately deported and can never qualify for the guest worker program.  Most importantly, if a business is found to be hiring undocumented workers, the business is fined heavily for each infraction and the business's owner goes to prison for a specified time for each infraction.

Don't blame the illegals, blame the government and blame businesses who hire these people.

The main problem is that the 'immigrant' part is optional for such employers.

It is the 'Illegal' part that they want.

Why?

Well, OSHA, ACA. IRS, CWHSSA, DBRA, EPPA, FLSA, FMLA, CCPA, INA, SCA, MSPA, PCA, SBREFA, FSTLPA, ERISA, EBSA, USERRA, LMRDA, MSHA, BLBA, OWCP, NLRB, SSA, EEOC, ADEA, EPA...

...and those are just the compliance agencies and regulations for a single-employee small business...and only for the Federal Government.  You have to multiply these to satisfy your state and your local government too.

OR

...You can hire an illegal off-the-books for cash. 

 

That illegal employee will then also be eligble for, and receive, public assistance equivalent to a salary of about $70K per year.  But that is the peon taxpayer's problem.  So? Who cares?

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is also involved in the effort to indoctrinate the U.S. law enforcement community. Its website’s Homeland Security Monitor chronicles numerous meetings between Israeli intelligence and police officials and their U.S. counterparts, to include numerous trips to Israel to learn from the masters of the craft about various aspects of security, including controlling borders and airports. Even firemen have made the journey, presumably to learn how a fire in Israel differs from a fire in the United States.

Ironically, American law enforcement and emergency services are every bit as capable as those in Israel and really have nothing to learn. The difference in practice is that Israel uses extensive profiling to identify threats, which means Arabs are regularly stopped and questioned. Exposure to that dubious technique is often paid for by the U.S. taxpayer as much of the travel to Israel is funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which provides billions of dollars in training grants to cover the expenses. Marc Kahlberg of International Security Consulting offers a package that is called “Eye of the Storm.” He promises “an exclusive learning tour into the heart of Hebron. You will have the opportunity to see first-hand how the police there are dealing with a daily volatile situation. You will feel the adrenalin, but be completely safe and will be the guests of the Israeli Police Commander.” As Hebron is the largest Arab city on the West Bank with a population of 250,000 that against its will hosts an illegal Israeli settlement of 1,000 protected by the police and army, it promises to be an interesting experience.

New York City’s unconstitutional “stop and frisk” police activity is a preemptive doctrine modeled on Israeli counter-terrorism practice and it should be no surprise that the New York Police Department has an overseas office in Tel Aviv.

the first admitted amount by ICE and these are Convicted criminals, while citizen non-violent prisoners, like marijuana possession, remain in jail???

 

Murderers, Rapists, Kidnappers: Over 36,000 Criminal Illegal Immigrants Released In 2013

Nearly 200 murderers, over 400 rapists, and 300 kidnappers in the U.S. illegally were released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while awaiting deportation proceedings, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.


A total of 36,007 criminal illegal immigrants that were being processed for deportation were freed in 2013. Together, they committed nearly 88,000 crimes, according to the report, published Monday.


“I was astonished at not only the huge number of convicted criminals who were freed from ICE custody last year – an average of almost 100 a day — but also at the large number of very serious crimes they had committed,” said Jessica Vaughan, the director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, in a statement.

 ICE gathered the statistics

This is an excellent point.  Cop shows have been around for a long time. As time passed, more brutality was needed for ratings. And most nowadays end up where the cops have to "bend" the rules to catch the real bad guy.  

So when you watch years of this and then hear about a cop has bent the rules to catch a (media portrayed) really bad guy, you shrug and move on, accepting it.

Almost every single Law and Order follows this routine.

Heinous crime against an empathetic person, true suspect is known quickly but has a tight defense, cops break rules to get through defense and solve case.

The stupidass was not separating himelf from his vehicle, so the cop did it for him. This after the guy "allegedly" tried to elude capture at speeds of 130mph. Who's to say that he wouldn't have peeled away again while the cop was out of his car? Get him away from the bike and he won't be fleeing again at 130mph.

If you're talking about the cop, I don't know.  But  initiating a high-speed pursuit over a non-felony (civil infraction) of running a stop sign, while recklessly shooting at a moving target no less than four times, I think SIGNIFICANTLY contributed to endangering additional lives.

THIS is the problem with today's LEO mindset.  Catch the 'perp' at all costs - even if the consequence of doing so is infinitely more dangerous than the initial "crime".   Of course, when you finally do catch this disrespecting low-life who didn't obey your orders quickly enough, make sure to dish out some of that testosterone-laden ass-whopping.  Just try not to snap their spine or leave too many bullet holes.

Ok, he had a suspended license. Which is why he ran the stop sign and fled when he saw the cop cus otherwise he'd lose his bike.

In a country where not being able to drive is equivalent to condemnation (cant drive? no job for you!), perhaps they should be less crazy about stripping licenses away?  Furthermore, it's fairly stupid to be chasing at all.  There are cameras, use them.  Problem solved, no need for a chase, the guy just gets a visit at home later.

Even then, it's pretty easy.  

The license plate is in the name of the owner because it's registered to the owner.

The owner of the bike gets a ticket in the system.  The ticket must be paid off eventually, by default it is credited to the owner.

The US insurance system more or less requires you to list who is allowed to drive your car.

So we take these two things together and if the owner isn't at fault, then SOMEONE is.  And that SOMEONE must present themselves to eat the points and pay the fine.

If someone is speeding, good for them, they are speeding, issue a ticket, they'll get an SMS that they have a new ticket that has to be taken care of by next registration/insurance renewal.  If it wasn't them, then it's on THEM to demonstrate that by offering up someone else to take the fall.  If they are speeding and get into an accident, then they can be 100% liable.  If the cops are worried about not catching everyone, then they can easily push a narc system.  If you submit video showing violations and it results in penalties, you get a cash reward.  There, people police themselves, cops are not really needed anymore.  Few cops on the street means lower budgets means many problems solved.

 

In the case of the owner being suspended, the car is treated as suspended regardless of who is driving.  The owner can make a legitimate petition to the court of WHY the vehicle was still in use or WHY the suspension is an unusual or cruel punishment.  That's the real problem here.  The problem is that the system is unjust and fails to bend for reality, rather it prefers to ignore reality in favor of legalistic fantasies that do not exist.

He was driving a dirt bike not an 18 wheeler. The justification for shooting is unbelievable. The cop pursuing created a much more dangerous situation than the guy on the bike. That's why most sane police departments don't allow high speed chases.
