1:00Now PlayingThis unarmed man is arrested by 12 Baltimore police officers while picking up trash without any evidence of wrongdoing, showing how taxpayer dollars are wasted in a city suffering a wave of car thefts and homicides. Just one example of the many incidents of police misconduct initiated by Baltimore police Sgt. Ethan Newberg. The initiating officer who tackle the man, Sgt. Newberg has been charged and convicted of 32 counts of misconduct in office however those charges came from the review of just 9 body worn camera videos. These 9 videos were collected in just 6 months. Only 6 months of video were able to provide 9 different incidents where Sgt Newberg was caught on camera violating the constitutional rights of citizens.
As I watched these videos I was forced to ask myself, how many more incidents, how many more civil rights violations occurred during the other 23 years he was on the force. And even more disturbing, how many complaints of police misconduct were filed by residents that were cast aside because there was no body worn camera program and no evidence available to contradict the sworn testimony of an officer. The example of this gentleman shows a person who might not be living the healthiest life but who is trying to survive and eke out of living-- it is very doubtful this arrest made his life better.
We have two reports on the exploits of Sgt Newberg including his actions to get a FedEx driver arrested because he didn't like the way he spoke, all of this is available in the links below. Please, watch for yourselves, and then ask yourselves is this the type of policing that helps a community, that solves meaningful crimes, or simply kills time for officers who want an easy shift and to log overtime.? By the way, during this arrest Sgt. Newberg was making roughly $239,000 per year. So please let me know in the comments if you believe Baltimore taxpayers were getting their money's worth!
And please join me next Thursday at 9pmEST Feb 15th for the live chat where we will head to Texas for our next report! I hope to see you then! I will post a link to the full report on this man and another resident unjustly arrested by this officer in the comments below.
