During a shooting rampage in Hollywood on December 9, 2011, Chris Johns filmed from his apartment window as 26-year-old Tyler Brehm opened fire on vehicles and pedestrians below.
After Brehm shot music executive John Atterberry (who later died from his injuries), Johns began yelling and taunting the gunman from above in an attempt to draw his attention away from other potential victims. Johns was visibly shaken but continued recording and distracting Brehm throughout the incident.
Brehm continued his rampage until he was fatally shot by police. Chris Johns’ video went viral and highlighted the bravery of an ordinary citizen who stepped up in a terrifying situation.

Tyrant cop arrests driver and his wife because the driver asked why he was being pulled over.
This incident took place in Taylor, Michigan (a suburb. in the Downriver area of Metro Detroit). Taylor Police officers pulled over a vehicle driven by a man named Calvin Jones. Inside the car with him were his wife, Keithia Jones, and their young son.
The officer pulled over Calvin and immediately demanded his ID as well as other paperwork needed for the stop. Calvin inquired as to why he was being pulled over to which the officer doubled down on demanding ID before telling him why he was pulled over.
What began as a routine traffic stop instantly turned into a high-stakes standoff due to a fundamental disagreement over roadside procedures:
The Driver’s Stance: Calvin Jones wanted to know the exact reason he was being pulled over before handed his identification over to the officers, asking, “You gotta let me know what’s going on, man.”
The Officers' Stance: The officers demanded compliance first and answers second. Instead of de-escalating, the officer barked back, “You’re going to jail is what’s going on.”
As other officers arrived the officer that conducted the stop began putting on tactical gloves. This is where things go off the rails as the officer completely shattered the driver-side window, forcefully dragged Calvin Jones out of the vehicle, and took him to the ground to execute an arrest.
Meanwhile, inside the vehicle, his wife Keithia began recording the unfolding chaos on her cell phone. Because she was filming the interaction, she was also forcefully arrested by responding officers as well.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan stepped in to legally back the family, obtained the raw dashcam footage, and publicly exposed the department's aggressive tactics.
The criminal charges against Calvin and Keithia Jones for resisting and obstructing were ultimately dismissed.
The ACLU sent a formal complaint to then-Taylor Police Chief Mary Sclabassi, triggering a massive internal affairs investigation.
Despite the immense public backlash and the clear visual escalation captured on camera, the Taylor Police Department's internal affairs unit officially cleared the officers of any wrongdoing in August 2017, finding no basis for internal disciplinary action or termination.
However, the case forced permanent operational changes within the city:
The "Reason for Stop" Policy: Taylor Police instituted a mandatory rule requiring all officers to explicitly state the basis of a traffic stop to a driver during an interaction.
De-escalation Training: The department rolled out mandatory retraining focused on officer demeanor and conflict avoidance.
Federal Scrutiny: Because the local department cleared the officers, the ACLU anchored this case into a massive petition to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), citing it alongside nearly 20 other incidents to push for a federal investigation into systemic excessive force within the department.
In my opinion, the request to ask what you were stopped for is reasonable. The response from the officers is aggressive and it is departments like this one that give police a bad name as you have video evidence like this but instead circle the wagons to protect the bull cop

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

Pure, unfiltered racism on full display. These monsters think they can terrorize people just trying to live their lives.
Another racist exposed for the hateful coward he really is.
How many more of these clowns are out there ready to pull guns on Black folks for simply existing?
