[PoppaBlue59]

Good work guys. Get her cut and get off.

Keep safe and stay low!

[kp295swiss]

so what ever happened? update to the story?

[7089540230]

@kp295swiss

the Police Officer Involved was Forced to Resign or be Fired

[7089540230]

@kp295swiss got an apology from the mayor and the towns trustees also

[TheKRG76]

@7089540230 The officer was NOT fired and he was NOT forced to resign! He left about 6 months after this incident at his own will. The camera man was arrested for not complying to police orders and obstructing and he had illegal lights in his car.

[7089540230]

@TheKRG76

Oh Really? Complying With Police Orders? That Town Can Fuck OFF!!!! That was Not a Cop...He is an Asshole And There were no Illegal Lites in My Car Numnutz....Cause i Never Got Cited for That Know It All

That Town Is Piss Poor & It was a Scam to Make Money...Cause Clearly That Town has a Record of Squad Cars Being Repossessed and The Police Unable to Patrol due to no GAS in the Squads and no Money

[7089540230]

@TheKRG76

He Left Cause Everyone Knows That He is a Complete Jerkoff....Tell Mandernack He is a Total Jerkoff

[7089540230]

@kp295swiss Would Sue them...The Town has no Money at all they cant even afford to pay for gas & had 2 squads re-possessed due to lack of payments

[JKSK8ERLIVE]

Dixmoor is just a small s**ole city but there FD is great the cop was just being a *pig* and arrested u because thats money for the village and revenue and just wanted to gain more money by arresting you because i will admit Dixmoor is pretty rough crime wise but there FD is always working hard Great video Todd!!!!!!!!!!

[quartapound4]

i was out there that night

[chastity2221]

Incredible! How terribly sad to even think that ANY effort would be made to pursue what is obviously a vendetta against a by-stander (the camera man), instead of making double or triple-sure that the burning house is vacant! In other words, Do the job you get paid to do, and that job ONLY!

[aerostockians]

Nice post I lived a rocks throw from this house*****

[hateut]

Dixmoor police are like harvey police sorry and do nothing to help protect there comminuties

[MARKWW2]

He is a Journalist he is not guilty. He should file charges on the officer and the city

[MIoldtimer]

Todd,

WTF? That is just plain crazy. I can`t even imagine why they had a hardon for you.

[7089540230]

@MIoldtimer

i cant figure it out either....being cuffed & stuffed in a squad wih a dog & some dude that just lost his House was Really Professional....My Lawyer is Filing a Federal Lawsuit on my Behalf,Hoping he Looses his Job for what He did to me

as i did nothing wrong at all~

[343NeverForget911]

Just a thought...

If you're going to go to the effort of putting on the B/A why wouldn't you actually use the mask and breath fresh air instead of all that smoke?

Good luck.

[kacobb1]

@7089540230

Todd, I am so sorry that this happned to you when you did nothing wrong. Knowing Dixmoor, I'm sure that actual crimes were being comitted while you were being arrested for no valid reason.

May I suggest that you file a complain with whichever state, or county agency that would have jurisdiction in these matters?

Ironically, I have a co-worker that was robbed, harassed, assualted, & followed by a few Des Plainespolice officers last week.

Good luck, & keep up the good work!

[kacobb1]

Wow Todd, I am so sorry to hear that this happned to you. You did nothing wrong!

May I also suggest that you file a complaint with the state, or county agency that would have jurisdiction in police misconduct cases?

Ironically, I have a co-worker that was robbed, handcuffed, followed, assaulted & harassed by The Des Plaines police a couple of weeks ago.

[ntrdme]

Todd, sorry to hear you went through BS in Dixmoor. Keep up the good work, and keep your head high. Dont let 1 person who had a bad nite, and lives his or her life full hate. Just because this office spent his time growing up always being picked on, doesnt give him or her the rite to pick on others. I hope he gets what ever is coming to him or her.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TODD

[transxtreme]

See, I'm living proof not all cops are dick's! Todd just scared the shit outta me one night, that's all. Sorry again for the ass chewing. Hope this all works out for you bro, your a hard ass worker.

[7089540230]

@transxtreme

You Sure are A Great Cop Dean,and a Very Professional One,Glad to have you as a Friend...Will County Sheriff & All its Residents are Lucky To have Someone Like you Protecting Us! Be Safe Bro!

[tripp1987]

The boys at Dixmoor FD are cool, the PD is another story. Last May I was talking to some of the guys at the station and they left to cover for Posen FD and after they left a cop came out of the police station next door asking me a million questions on why I was there.

[7089540230]

@tripp1987

Very true...The Dixmoor Firefighters are Great People & They have Nothing to do with this...They tried to help me out,and the officer didnt care about them

[7089540230]

Surprised you didnt get a Ticket For Loitering....Not All Cops are Bad There,This Incident is Isolated to Just two Officers...The Rest Im Sure are Just Trying to earn a living & Work Hard & care about Their Jobs

[N44949]

Sorry to hear that Todd. You have all of us behind you. What a Son of a Bitch. Im sure you have already filed a formal complaint and try to contact the fire chiefs cause i sure they know you from all the work you do. See if you can have them file a complaint/ write a formal complaint to the PD. Were behind you 100%. Good Luck. -Andrew (Hope you get payed back for that)

[7089540230]

@N44949

Maybe The Cop & Me can Have a Beer with Barack Obama and Talk about what went wrong here

[N44949]

Maybe. hahaha. Obama just makes everything better. That is only if a fist fight doesn't erupt.......

[7089540230]

Why would a Fight Erupt? I would of Knocked that Cop Out If I was a Crazy Idiot when this happened,and would of kicked out the window in the Squad Car

I kept my mouth shut & did not act like an Mental Patient....Violence would of made this a Possible Serious Felony,Something i am Proud to say i will Never Do or have on my record

The Concept is from What happened With That Officer from Boston & the Professor...They Worked it Out

[ilrailfan]

How does this effect your record is it on there? This is total crap! Im behind you!

[7089540230]

Should Not At all Affect My Record...

Of course the Charges they Filed are on there,But i know I did nothing wrong at all

I had a Ride along With me when this Happened & He is a Great Witness as to How they Treated Me

[N44949]

I Know. Just Kidding. I understood your lead to the Boston story seeing I live there.

[windsordrywallpro]

That is bull shit man!!!! You were just doing your job and nothing more, they act like you were trying to stop them from putting the fire out or something. i bet i know the problem... the cop is married to a butch looken fat pig and he ain't allowed to open his mouth at home without getting his as beat by his pig wife, so he has to take it out on un deserving citizens. That power trippen pig should be fired for sure!!! He is a discrace!!! Best of luck Todd and keep up the great work!!!

[boone4796]

sorry to hear todd! sounds bogus to me

[NitrousMatt]

Hopefully you still kept your car and didn't spend too much time locked up...

[7089540230]

@NitrousMatt

No The Rent A Copper Towed it

That cost $215.00 to Tow it 4 Blocks

all a scam to make Money for the Poor Town

[jchican0]

Sucks you were arrested. But great that you had the FD on your side. I don't see how it's obstruction at all. But you got support from us. And as always a great video!

[chatrkat]

Hi Todd, Wow I just found out what happened, I'm sorry for your problems. Dixmoor has always been a dump, an occasional fire improves the area. Now we see how the dump gets funded. Good luck, you have my support. Keith

[7089540230]

@chatrkat

Thank You!

[usmarines911]

im sorry todd that suck what happen

[7089540230]

@NSPLUCKY

i had to go to court for this bullshit,it was a false arrest,this town has no money,thats why i was arrested

to generate revenue for the police & the village.

[WeatherTalk]

Iv never been arrested by I know how the feeling goes with being told to shut it off. I didnt even know what was going on, it was white out conditions from snow and all I was doing is videoing. was also threatened at the same time
