I am SHOCKED. Those police officers should be ashamed of themselves. Has Northampton become so violent that they hire thugs who cannot restrain themselves? Or was this political? While preparing for a career in law, an attorney I knew recommended I contact Judge Ryan for an internship. I did and he oblied. He was nothing but a kind mentor, a thoughtful,fair & deligent judge (who didn't roll over for police but istened to evidence). I respect and would stand by him or before him ANY day.
@jebsr926 Yes, there is something called a Motion to Suppress. You need to brush up on the law, I think. He, or any judge, would only grant a motion to suppress if an attorney made such a motion to suppress evidence. The reason evidence might be suppressed would usually be because it was not obtained legally. There are reasons for laws like this. Evidence is powerful and juriors often credit evidence from the police more highly. It has to be reasonably obtained. Or suppressed. Thems the rules.
@jwcfrarvc1 Or the judge is just plain corrupt! And that is why he would suppress evidence. I can not tell you all about it so it won't make much sense to you but when a judge knows a person is innocent and he will just not allow witness in the court room because they are going to side with the accused person and not the court that is wrong! I have seen him destroy the lives of completely innocent people (Just because a certain persuasion told him to!)
@jwcfrarvc1 Yes, he did it just because he was told to do it and now that person is tainted for the rest of their lives. I have seen the D.A tell him that we have video evidence and when asked to get it for review the DA came back with Oh, we lost it. and the smart ass remark that was giving was I don't care we don't need it.
i hope the cop got in trouble and the old man wasnt punished... although cops tend to have the upper hand in legal battles no matter HOW corrupt and out of line they are. does anyone know waht happened after this in court ect?
Cops are one step above garbage men. This was purely a contempt of cop arrest. The aggressive behavior was purely on the part of the cop, at least until he illegally took the man's wallet.
Aggressive behavior toward an officer is never ok-ever, Period. This man was also allegedly drinking and that creates an unstable individual who can be highly unpredictable. Just because he is a judge , he can be aggressive toward a police officer? NO.
@lynx410 You cannot abuse someone because of what they MIGHT do. He was NOT aggressive - the police officer was. Interestlngly, what I learned while interning with Judge Ryan was this: NO - the police cannot act on a hunch. That was all they might have had here at the point the cop got aggressive -and the evidence shows that.
No way does that seem like the an aggressive act toward the cop. His wallet was illegally kept and searched, the judge knows the law and did not hit or touch the cop.
The only thing possible is very aggressive language, but Ive seen far far better reaction from cops in FAR worse citizen behavior videos.
Send those cops back to training and any department official which justifies this needs more training too.
@jebsr926 Er - he was not DUI. He was not inside the car (i.e. DUI = DRIVING). And the relevent point in time is when the police were engaging him. They had nothing more than the smell of alcohol to go on and perhaps his speech. But there is nothing illegal with having too much to drink actually. It certainly is not ground for actin like you are in the foorball line up and charging.
@jwcfrarvc1 I am sorry you feel that way- If you believe that for a minute then you are just as corrupt as the Northampton courts. He may not have been DUI as you stated but his every intention was to get in the car and drive. And the last time I looked there is something illegal with having too much to drink, it's actually called public intoxication. The cops did their job and did it well- Good job to the cops! lets keep drunks off the street!
@jebsr926 - The first thing I notice is that you are attacking me: calling me "corrupt" how bizarre! I am in Europe where I've lived for more than 6 years, hardly in a position to be "corrupt" - and what do you mean by that?
@jebsr926 Second, I can see you are aggressive. Perhaps you are with the police? How else could you even presume to know what his intention was? He was fixing a tire! You had probable cause to believe he would complete that process. But besides that, you cannot be arrested for intention to do something unless there is a crime called "intending to drive while under the influence"? The point is - timing and details matter here. Police can NOT act on hunches. Judge Ryan knew/believes this. I agree.
@jebsr926 Perhaps I missed something: Was he arrested for public intoxication? Please try to stick with the facts here. The fact is, there was no need for FOUR police to show up like this was an armed robbery in process. I thought the U.S. had financial troubles? My Danish husband's response was - Can they afford to have 4 cops stopping to help someone change a tire?? I don't want anyone driving drunk. I barely have half a beer every month. Police duty is to "protect and serve" - they failed.
@jwcfrarvc1 Stop talking in circles what dose the US financial trouble have to do with anything why would I care if your in Europe. And him fixing a flat tire is irrelevant to what was happening that night He was drunk he intended to drive drunk and he assaulted the police It took FOUR police to subdue him probably because they felt he was a threat to them. Police did an AWESOME job keeping a drunk off the road and possibly saving the life of someone just driving home from work
ok. there Drunk. But How Drunk? seems to me there in control. Not there dont know for sure. Cops Didnt have the right to even frisk did they? was he placed under arrest? before hand? All they needed to do was ask for ID. She also could have been asked. The cops squarly have him in there sights and do nothing with her. why wasnt she also frisked?
I don't know, I see at least two accounts of assault on a officer of the law, not to mention being under the influence of alcohol while I public, and disorderly conduct. Just because he was a judge does NOT mean that he is above the law.
He had no right to place his hand on the officer in an agressive manner. Once he got over the shook, the officer swiftly let the judge (who knows better) know that was a legal no-no. Considering his wife/dinner date was cocked off her @ss, I wonder if that could have been a cause for his serious lack of judgement. Whether or not he has a sense of entitlement, that was a bad decision to make
I'am always amazed at how police can assualt individuals and then claim that the person was resisting. It is obvious to the observer of this video that the officer was the aggessor.
@cherlovestrong The cop had to save face after attacking Judge Ryan - so he writes up a report that will accomplish this. I worked with an attorney where a police officer wrote a police report and misstated a fact - perhaps negligently. It was not a problem to get the cop to go and rewrite that fact with one phone call from the lawyer who he knew personally. Give me a break.
That's an "assault"? It almost seems like they should think of a different word to describe that. If anything the cop throwing Ryan down seemed more aggressive. Not to say that he seemed too aggressive. I'm sure it's his job to be tough on a call.
