I wouldn't arrest him at work and just assault Family Violence warrant got issued today. You know he was a lot more Cooperative, a lot more Cooperative than that, and his work not with us. So it didn't even cover him up in the restaurant. And then we just brought them outside, hooked him up in the car, and that's when the attitude started. I just walked in through the South Airport and started kicking the door, cussing up the storm. Yeah, okay, yeah, let's go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Another uniform. Go in there and change out everything. Everything comes off in this room. In here, sir. Leave your bag up here. Foreign this one behind. Good morning. My name is Kirkendall. I am a judge appointed by the City of Austin. Where are you, sir? Judge Denton has issued a warrant for your arrest for assault causing bodily injury to a family member. He has set the bond at fifteen thousand dollars. He has also directed that an emergency protection ought to be issued. Yes, sir. Your honor, I have a couple of questions. I'm sorry, I have a couple of questions. First off, based on what you told me, I don't see how that honestly constitutes a soul. I'm just saying, I'm just gonna throw it out there. Second off, but I would like to have the assailant also contacted ASAP because I know if she

knew that I was in here because of this. She would freak out with this hearing tonight or this morning. It's to make sure that you know your rights, to make sure you understand the charge against you. I'm not able to answer your question. I don't think I wish I could. To rely on your lawyer to answer your question. Okay, folks, good luck to all of you. His bond has been set. He's going upstairs. We house from this point here. Hopefully, that he'll change his demeanor and attitude. Think of why he sit here thinking about what his next step is. [Music] foreign [Music] I've been here 11 years. I didn't originally start as a corrections officer, but I gravitated towards this job. It seemed a natural progression since most of my family was law enforcement. It takes a special personality to be able to work at this job. It's very stressful. You have to have thick skin and be able to keep work at work and your private life private. Can't take it home with you.

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] We're in the segregation section of an uncontrollable inmates are housed. That's why all the you can hear all the noise and [Music] all right. They've called for the restraint chair to transport this guy to a different section of the jail. I don't know what he's done yet, but we'll find out after the officers have finished with him. Oh, Susan pulling up the taser. I mean, the chair gets here. They're going to transport him to 2C, which is a smaller segregation area. Yeah, oh yeah, you're tough. The awesome using the pressure points underneath his jaw, the people from moving while the other officers restrain them again. They put on the waste restraints first, shoulders goes around the side of his body. Sprinkle me dude, yeah, body fluid. Try to spit on officers or nurses or any other civilians we're working here. County man, y'all be, you can just go around hurting people, man. This ain't you right, man.

cool dude. If he's going to comply with the orders given to him now, otherwise it's a right for them to put their hands around my neck when I didn't do nothing wrong. The reason these chair exists and 2C exists. Officers don't have to get hurt. Okay, listen up. Go ahead. We gotta go through a strip search. You know I roll them. Standard procedures to do an uncle search of any inmate coming in here. Make sure it doesn't bring any weapons. Contraband. We don't. You saw the officer response and the 443 results from your assistance. We don't know what's going on, but somebody that's on prison time could easily hide a weapon. Been over at the waist and caught one step back. All right, so he's secure. [Music] Hey, um, we didn't get there in time for the whole incident to happen. Did you notice when we got there? Yeah, I did. We got up there. Inmate was distributed his medication. He goes to take the medicine. The officer noticed the medication was still in his

mouth, so he confronted him. He flashes the flashlight in his mouth, and the inmate got defensive, got aggressive. At that point, he put his hands up and said, Get that flashlight out of my face. And at that point, it was caught. It was basically just trying to create a distraction. Has he ever been a problem with you before? I haven't particularly had a problem with the inmate. Some guys who had problems with some officers were telling me that he's not a bad guy, but I do know that he had a history of highness medicine. Go lay down for a minute. Let me call everybody, come here and see you. All right, where do I do? You're gonna be able to make a complaint the same way as soon as we get all this wrapped up, okay? You're still gonna be able to make a grievance. You're still gonna be able to write agreements on it if it was that big deal. You obviously charges against me if I'm trying to hit somebody at the year when he tried to grab me and put me to the ground.

I don't know if they're pressing. No, I know they can't because I didn't do nothing. Okay, calm down. Let them get it sorted out. I wasn't there. Okay, go put the mattress down. Lay down. Okay, Josh was famous for putting his meds in his mouth and not swallowing them. Inmates do this to save them up and try to sell them or trade them for other things that they want. From my experience, someone with this violent type of behavior will continue to do it. He's been locked up. He's been on medication, and he still has violent behavior. So, the only other thing to do is send him to prison. [Music] My name is Sergeant Palmer. I've been with the Tarrant County for 25 years and a day. Where I look at it, all the jobs I've had completed a childhood dream. I was in the Air Force, got to work on planes, got to work with the Santa Fe railroad, got to work on trains, ride on trains, be out on when the trains got derailed.

then now I wound up in law enforcement, another childhood dream. Thanks, sir. Also, getting into a private inmate fighting officer. [Music] Got him, got him under control. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] They want to take you upstairs, straighten that now, come up okay, it's taking down nursing station. [Music] [Music] Go ahead and have a seat. What happened? But I also try this book without the power jerk away from me, put me on the ground, okay, thank you. Why'd you jerk away from the officer? You know when you do this, that's considered aggressive move, right? Okay. [Music] Okay, let's go down here and talk to your Compadres. No, I'm gonna talk to him. Yeah, we'll go yellow. Basically, officer was escorting him out of there and he jerked away from the officer. When you, when the inmate jerks away from, oh, that's an aggressive move. I

also had to do what he had to do and took the inmate to the ground. When the inmate went to the ground, that's when he hit his nose down there, and I got a nosebleed from hitting his nose on the ground. He was restrained. From what I can tell, he didn't give the officer any more trouble after that because he knew he was wrong. I'm gonna go down here and talk to the other inmates, try to quiet them down. [Music] Talking. Let me tell you what happened. I talked off to the inmate. I talked to him myself. He admitted he was wrong. Yeah, he admitted that he was wrong. He snatched away from the officer. He just told me this. He's having a problem outside. [Music] Well, like he said, he's having the problems on the outside. He said that's why he snatched away from the officer. You know dog on the well, you snatch away from also. You just made an aggressive move. [Music] Ment. That's an aggressive movement. [Music]

all I can go by the main main person that told me. He told me himself he was in the room. Okay, now we feel safe over here, man. All we got is just button the nail, man. If they should do it like that, I want to get them out there. Okay, tell Lieutenant whatever um. I also told me to put on my uniform or if you need to have to take out the pot. I jerked the way he put me on the ground. What'd you refuse the whole head? Where'd you drive away from before? I don't know. It was his reaction. He grabbed and I went like that. I guess he thought I was gonna hit him or something, so he put me on the floor to them across the street. Am I right here? Fessed up, manned up, and he was in the wrong. Anytime you make a move like that, it's aggressive to move to the office. Officer did what he had to do, was not over excessive whatsoever. [Music] We're going to complete this investigation of this incident and get

the officer side of the story. Give me your side. What happened? You know what brought this on. I went in there as a child, and the inmate was in his out of his uniform. He's in his underwear and his box of ships, looking out the window. Now, according to the rules, that if you're not in the Bulgaria in the shower area, you need to have your uniform on and fully buttoned. We tell them this every day. I told them, You make if you're going to be dressed that way. You need to be in your bone. Well, he started, you know, cursing at you and I'm not doing this effort and all this other stuff. And I think then he goes hop on his book. I'm not coming out here. I'm like, I'll call back up to the door, because I was the only one at the door. And I go, Sir, you need to call me the holder things. And he stood there for a second on his front. He's like, Why am I doing this? He jerks away. So when he jerks away.

there was aggressive moving towards me because I don't know if he's going to hit me or anything after that. So, I put him down. He admitted that he was wrong. He shouldn't have done what he did. Understand that. I think everybody else does too. Okay, right now they're taking him up to 2-7 with medical. Doctor's going to come over and sing. Oh, and the doors open up and they leave me outside and they him in my closing and they took my ride. Now the Night hits my face and it brings me to life. Oh Lord, now I'm at that jail tonight. Another night in my street. Another night in my hair. Now I'm kicking and tripping without the cops on my chair. Now my hands on the wheel and my fingers grew tight. I'm gonna go home to my family tonight. [Music] Thank you.
