"I know this case. This is Melvin and Annie Anthony. They have been completely cleared. The cops in this video, three judges, and the prosecutor (who tried to railroad the couple in court and failed!), are now in the summary judgement phase of a $5m title 42 action. They are also facing felony criminal charges. They are going to prison, all of them. This case sets a history-making precedent for all of us.

MELVIN AND ANNIE ANTHONY (CASED DISMISSED TODAY!!!)
Hear about it on call tonight: Melvin & Annie Anthony in Court today. Harbor Justice Center. Originally jumped by 4 Sherriffs in OC airport. Wife Anny Anthony slammed to the ground hard. Jailed for over 24 hours. Melvin charged by the officers with assualt on a peace officer and obstruction of an officers duty. Melvin and Anny never plead to the charges. They never waived any time to a speedy trial. The filed a Title 42 against the officers involved. 4 judges involved throuhout the case. 2 judges added to the title 42. The last judge yesterday was forcing it to trial without the consent of Melvin or ever a plea on the table. 35 people showed up in court yesterday and all of them knew that the judge was looking at transcripts of previous hearings that were done in fraud whereby the transcripts stated that Melvin and Annie DID enter a plea. Over 15 people signed Affidavits in a Burger King last night attesting to the facts of Melvin and Annie's position and that they never entered a plea and never waived their right to a speedy trial. Melvin submitted that to the record of the court this morning and ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JUDGE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE 45 day right to a speedy trial. She gave the Prostituting Attorney 30 minutes to find case law that would allow for her to proceed (there is none) and then SHE DISMISSED THE CASE!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Melvin and Annie Anthony and thank you to everyone that helped by showing up to the hearings. The People made the difference. When we stand together under the law we win!!!!

Melvin had no obligation to show ID as he was not the driver. The video clearly shows that the officer put his hands on him. You cannot detain any suspect without reasonable cause and having an expired brake tag isn't one of them. Really bad police work because they accelerated an incident that was not needed. If it was me, I would have just given them the ticket, told them to show up, and left.
Case was properly thrown out and dismissed and the officers are going to face some felony assault charges for slamming Melvin's wife to the ground for no reason.
-
Even with the grainy video, you could still see his gums.
And all they did was dropped the case, happens all the time. But whoever wrote that makes it seem like it CNN worthy.

Typical jack boot thugs. 99.9% of the cops give the other .01% a bad name.

Cop "Sir, I need you to get up on the sidewalk so my partner can deal with the driver" as he tries to gently guide Anthony in the right direction
Anthony bows up and turns what the officers were hoping to be a routine encounter into a confrontation.
Anthony was totally responsible for the outcome
Nothing to see here folks.. move along

You aren't required by law to show police your ID dumbass.

Didn't look like anyone was asking for an ID.. looked like the cop was trying to get Anthony, who was the only one not calm, away from the window so the other cop could conduct his business with the driver.
-

Not only that, but why couldn't he just get in the car and sit if it's just some bullshit issue? I bet he would have. And no way she resisted that hard to be thrown down.

She was struggling with the cop. Resisting. She wasn't thrown down, she was "taken" to the ground so that her resistance could be overcome without having to hurt her. Someone is resisting you, first rule is to take them to the ground if possible on their stomachs so you can eventually get their hands behind their backs. Again, in most cases, the cops don't choose how the situation is played out, they respond to the choices the citizen makes. Of course there are exceptions, this ain't one of them

Woman on the ground "Hey! I didn't think you were serious! Anthony never follows through on what he says! This ain't fair! My parents never even made me do what they said!!"
Officer "Damn, I was 30 minutes from end of shift...this is gonna make me late for dinner. Why didn't you just get out of the car?"

The cops aren't facing any felony charges. Even if they were in the wrong, which they're not, it's not even a use of force. A felony assault is with a serious injury or weapon otherwise it's a misdemeanor. They have the right to require ID from a passenger of a traffic stop. We can't see if he was a passenger or not, however he was hindering the cops investigation which is illegal and he was detained for. I know Melvin a little and he's a nice guy, just wrong here.

And anyone can sue anyone for anything. In this case, just based on the video, it will be dismissed. There was no violation of anyone's civil rights. No excessive force. I don't know if it was a traffic stop. It may be an airport and it may be she was in a no parking zone. Cops usually wear glow vest when they are working an accident, or traffic. It appears, the officer was attempting to get Anthony to move away from the vehicle in the nicest way possible. When that didn't work, he tried to lead him that direction. Some people bring things on themselves.

excessive force was used here. sure he looked like he wanted to say his piece but you canīt say the police were correct. Excessive force was used and look how his wife was treated. no wonder the filth have a bad name... ???

The right amount of force was used. Empty hand techniques.. how else would you get someone like that in handcuffs? He was obviously not listening to the officer, would not back off, and was a potential danger. They used the least amount of force to get him under control. Had they shot him, I'd agree.

Well Donny, I appreciate your vast experience in this area. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Having reviewed many use of force situations as part of my job, I feel I am pretty qualified to offer an opinion on this. While others may certainly disagree, and feel any force an officer ever uses on a citizen is considered excessive, in the professional and court arena, what appears in this video shows officers use of force objectively reasonable.

if you are like you are here in getbig then i think you are a guy who likes to use his badge. reading your posts NOW on this thread you are very "i am correct".. :(

You'd be wrong Donny. I am about as customer service and friendly as they come. I have always felt that a successful interaction is one where I gain compliance through communication. Having said that, there were a number of times over the years where there was just not going to be any other way. But I didn't make that choice. I've always had it in the back of my mind that in ANY situation where I have to put hands on someone I could easily end up dead from a freak accident, slip, hit my head, fall wrong, any number of things so I will always look for the easier way.
As far as the "I am correct" impression I give you on this post, I believe I said many will disagree with my opinion. But actually having been involved in reviewing videos for use of force issues that often involve the court system, I can't help but feel I'm very qualified to offer an opinion based on over 20 yrs in law enforcement and experience in reviewing several dozen if not hundreds of video in the last 10 yrs since video became an option with our department. I'm not sure you can draw a conclusion of "like to use my badge" from speaking with some knowledge about the subject at hand.
-

and on that issue, mostly, I am like I am here on Getbig. In real life I like a good debate, sometimes it doesn't matter on which side of an issue. I like to look at both sides of an argument. I am rarely disrespectful to opposing views and have a pretty decent sense of humor about things. On here, there are occasions, with certain posters, I might amp it up a bit in the spirit of the discussion. I've never really agreed with some posters persona's where they are outrageous pricks on here as some kind of badge of honor and in real life would not meet your eyes if you ran across them.

What you watch Donny is likely .001% of the police contacts. If you want to form an opinion based on that then that is your right. For every video you shake your head in disgust over, there are 1000's that show cops are hard working people trying to do the right thing in some not so wonderful situations. Those videos are boring and don't get much youtube play

the pigs act tough and throw his wife on the floor

well, I'll meet you in the middle. No doubt there are some criminal cops, lazy cops, incompetent cops, bully cops. Where we probably disagree is on the numbers of these verses the intelligent, competent, hard working, caring, professional cops out there. I think even one of the bad kind is one too many but unfortunately we have to hire from the human race and some of these slip in.

Here's the thing I learned long ago. The more cops, the less force. It's a general rule. For example, I'm 6' 210-215 lbs with marginal fighting skills. For me to put handcuffs on a big dude who doesn't want to be handcuffed alone requires me to be a lot more likely to injure that dude or me while getting them on. I certainly have to up the force level. If I have 4 other cops helping me we can usually do it without too much force. Usually arm locks, pressure points, things like that will be enough. Alone, it could get ugly. So it was for both the officers AND the dude's benefit there were several cops.
Remember, in MOST cases, (Rodney King being a huge example of how to NOT take someone into custody) the more cops, the better off for everyone.
As far as throwing the wife to the floor, again, standard take down for control, wife brought it upon herself.

Well I certainly do not have a problem with cops but you have to face the reality and that is since everyone video records everything cop's bad reps have increased ten fold and that is undeniable cause the videos show a lot more bullying behavior then ever before and here is the crazy part, as frequent as you see this ''cowboy' type ''abuse of power'' behaviour just imagine how it was before videos were every where.

Yes, agree that bad cops have always existed. I've even noticed locally that policing has changed for the better in just the last 20 yrs. Here at my department every single encounter with a citizen is recorded. recently we had a couple cops fired. One for trying to cover up the incident, the other for the incident. As a female officer was helping restrain another female to a EMS gurney for transport, the irate subject spit in the officers face. The officer lost her head and slapped the other female. If I recall, and it's been awhile since I saw the video, other officers had to pull the female officer back. This went viral and certainly didn't look good. But there were 100's of police calls that day that went well and officers were professional as they should be. None go viral. So I think it tends to paint a distorted picture because I see call after call after call of officers being professional, taking a lot of crap from people and remaining cool. Reviewing tons of videos and so for someone who just sees the occasional video where the cops screw up and never sees the good ones, it can create an inaccurate picture. If I didn't hang around with minorities on a regular basis, and just watched youtube videos of blacks on Getbig, I would imagine I would have a perception that all black people fight in McDonalds. But I know that is not an accurate picture.

You've got to admit that your profession often attracts a certain type of person who enjoys the authority a uniform and/or badge signifies. I know the type from the military, as I've encountered many of this stripe during my enlistment. Some of the worst people I have encountered in the military became police officers or attempted to.

My profession attracts certain types for sure. A personalities used to be the thought but that turned out not to be so common. We get a lot of applicants at this department. We try to weed out the ones who would be undesirable before they get hired. We do an extensive back ground check, testing and an oral board where 5 officers from Lieutenant on down to the rank of officer officer ask questions of the candidates. I doubt all departments do that. With all that precaution, some get through and we have things in place to help identify those officers as soon as possible. It is in our best interest at this department to have above average officers because our citizens are our clients and if they aren't happy, we don't get the support we need to do our jobs. We also enjoy a pretty good salary, benefits and retirement so pissing off the public isn't in our best interest. In spite of all that, there will be those times, rare as they are here, when an officer will show his ass and embarrass us all. We do what we can to show that officer the door.

Nothing to see here folks.. move along

Well I certainly do not have a problem with cops but you have to face the reality and that is since everyone video records everything cop's bad reps have increased ten fold and that is undeniable cause the videos show a lot more bullying behavior then ever before and here is the crazy part, as frequent as you see this ''cowboy' type ''abuse of power'' behaviour just imagine how it was before videos were every where.
Good point .
I'm glad to be Canadian when I see shit like this. Fucking savages that "serve and protect" your country...
I hope Melvin sues the balls off the police department

are you crazy canada has some of the absolute worst cops, nazi skinhead psychos that think they're above everyone, guys that would seriously be better off dead. dont act like cops in southern ontario are any better than ones in the states, not true at all.
of course there are nice ones out there, ones ive associated with are great guys, family men with good hearts, but there are some nasty pieces of shit lurking not far away.

Most cops are geeks and pussies with badges-loosers like how they gang up on melvin and then drag the girl out and throw her down---what a fucken joke -send them to prison and see how they do in there in general population--

fixed.

Well Donny, I appreciate your vast experience in this area. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Having reviewed many use of force situations as part of my job, I feel I am pretty qualified to offer an opinion on this. While others may certainly disagree, and feel any force an officer ever uses on a citizen is considered excessive, in the professional and court arena, what appears in this video shows officers use of force objectively reasonable.
Don't question him, bro. He knows two people on a police force on another continent AND was once in Northern Ireland.
I think it's uncontroversial that his opinion must be correct, given this vast corpus of pertinent background knowledge.

I beg to differ. Cops here aren't worried about people having guns, we barely have any gun issues. No gangbangers, shit like that. Keep in mind our population is less than that of California, so I guess when you put it in proportion it probably balances out ... More people, more crime, more stressed out fucked up cops...
Southern Ontario? southern Ontario is as laid back as Vermont I'd be shocked if they even made any arrests in in the last 6 months!

This was posted on here when it first happened. I remember it. By watching the video you see that Melvin was being aggressive far from innocent. Not sure what his wife did to be dragged out of the car though.

The police force attracts fucked up people who where bullied as a kid and are on a power trip.

or, the police force attracts dim witted civilian detractors who try to feel better by talking trash about the police...could be that.
