Tyrant deputy arrests a man because an off duty officer saw another man give him a cigarette.
It all started when an off-duty officer named Stocker called dispatch, claiming he witnessed a "suspicious hand-to-hand transaction" between a black Cadillac and a red Chevy pickup truck. He claimed he saw a "substantial baggie of white stuff" pass between them.
But when on-duty Marysville police and St. Clair County sheriff’s deputies rolled up, the reality on the ground didn't match the "hunch".
The driver of the truck, Jason Kidder, immediately told the responding officer the truth: the driver of the Cadillac was his coworker, Ronnie, from the local Busy Beaver store, and Ronnie had simply handed him a cigarette. When deputies questioned Ronnie on the other side of the car wash, he completely corroborated the story—explaining he just stopped by to say hi, gave Jason a cigarette, and handed him "a five" ($5 bill) so they could hang out afterward.
Instead of accepting the perfectly legal, matching explanations, the officers demanded Jason's ID, claiming an off-duty cop's visual hunch gave them full Probable Cause. Knowing his rights, Jason refused to comply with an groundless investigation and demanded a supervisor.
The deputy returned to his vehicle and spoke with the off duty officer again and his supervisor. He decided he wanted to play the hunch and detain Jason.
When Jason stepped into his truck, officers declared him detained.
They threatened him with a Taser, shattered his window, and physically dragged him out of the cab.
While taking him down to the wet concrete they cuffed Jason and took him into custody.
With Jason handcuffed in the back of a cruiser, multiple officers—including U.S. Border Patrol agents—completely ransacked and trashed the interior of his truck. They tore apart his center console, searched under the seats, and went through his personal belongings desperately looking for a "softball-sized baggie" to justify their behavior.
The result? Absolutely ZERO drugs or contraband were found.
Despite finding nothing, the system did what it always does to cover its tracks. Discovering an old, unrelated local warrant, they jailed Jason anyway and slapped him with charges of "resisting and obstructing" an officer.
These tyrant officers know they are wrong, but their ego and the fact that they know a lawsuit will come is standing in their way which is why they doubled down on their actions.
Jason is still battling the criminal charges they are still pushing on him and needs to clear that hurdle before going after any civil suit.
Jason is refusing to back down and is fighting to hold these departments accountable for unlawful detention, illegal search, and excessive use of force. Our rights don’t end where a cop's blind assumptions begin.
Jason does have a go fund me set up as he tries to raise money for lawyer fees for his legal issues as a result of this situation.
If you want to help Jason hire a civil rights attorney to take this fight to the courts and defend the Fourth Amendment, you can support his official legal defense fund:

I wish him luck in his battle against these corrupt deputies.
An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary
It’s like going back in time
It was a historical location gathering, "Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey” - Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer
“It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed."
The site is also home to America’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764
@CmdPvtMajor82nd@MarioNawfal Have you ever witnessed a pick up basketball game? It’s THA CULTURE to ragebait stupid assholes into hating/fighting/murdering over who bad and who’s a grown ass man and ommamomma and ongod onbros onkids etc. Living long in the hood is raising your grandkids before you turn forty
@0openscience0@MarioNawfal White people are absolutely and explicitly forbidden to commingle or coexist in the vicinity of BLACKNESS (we didd dat, I love us, tha culture) without hearing what effect their presence has/had on “the community” and the commonplace racism of “yt ppl ain’t season they food rite”
@Albomufc @MarioNawfal Black Brits are almost as fragile (ghetto and insecure) as black Americans but they can’t cry foul given the uk constantly panders to minority victim status and historically fought to abolish slavery first. All this negative racial tension is the result of pandering to victimhood
@MarioNawfal They hurl accusations of racism like they have any authority or moral high ground on the subject. Black folks in the hood weaponize race on a daily basis more than any modern white Americans do in their entire lifetime. Say aggin 1000x a day and yt ppl ain’t season they food rite
Most men have never been initiated.
There used to be a moment where a boy was recognized, challenged, and called up into manhood, by his father, or by other men.
That clear line has been lost.
And when there's no initiation...you don't get men.
You get grown boys carrying unprocessed pain and passing down generational trauma.
That is the father wound. It's the pain a man carries for not having the proper transmission of masculinity; not having the right example how to be a man in the world.
That pain influences how a man leads, loves, trusts, and how he views himself.
It shows up as: lack of direction, no discipline, addiction, anger/rage, insecurity, no sense of identity, fear of authority, or rebellion against it.
This creates a man who is split inside: seeking approval, while trying to become the authority he never had.
Keep in mind fathers usually treat their children how their father treated them (angry, critical, judgmental, abusive)
But it stops with the man who decides to face his pain and learn how to father himself. To give himself the things he lacked growing up, to seek council from other men and not try to fight the world alone.
H/T @etheric_being
@WeimarWorlds Black folks only reason by who is the loudest and most aggressive or violent&When faced with an outside situation where the power dynamic doesn’t favor that tactic they begin a delusional argumnt against the circumstances and resist facing the reality and subsequent consequences
