Two men were picketing on public property when police intervened and approached them. The men moved to the sidewalk, but Officer Chris Dickey demanded their IDs so he could charge them. This turned into a chase which resulted in a Taser barb becoming stuck in one of the man’s arms (which later needed to be removed at a hospital).
Officer Dickey’s superior officer then arrived and questions his actions, stating that they are in fact on public property and have the right to freedom of speech. The man who was tasered sued and received $175K from the city.
Officer Dickey has a history of five civilian complaints, including use of excessive force during an arrest in which he Tased and struck a man in diabetic shock with a baton. In 2019, Dickey was sued over his use of force, in another arrest Dickey used his Taser on a U.S. Special Forces veteran experiencing PTSD. The 46-year-old vet was pronounced dead shortly after the violent arrest.

no one deserves this especially someone that fought to protect the rights. (those rights being violated)
OFFICER DICKEY LOL IS THAT A NAME ? SOUNDS LIKE LITTLE PIPI
When your Supervisor tells you’re breaking the Law, and you still want to arrest the other guy…
🤣🤣🤣🤣 is this guy a bottom basher well he should be tazerd for that on it's OWN
What no shots in the back for running
I love how it's like a tom and Jerry type music during the chase
Thank goodness he didn't get shot in the back
This is now taking place on a national scale.
Great cop at the end
Officer dicky😂🤫say nomore
This news station is bs the officer ask him to leave. ask tell make
Before I would say what's wrong with that protester but know I'm starting to SEE
There's a theme of respect my authority.
Who would of known south park was the truth 😂
Whatever officer that that was they said for what needs the badge of the year award
Mister policeman doesn't know what trespassing is? Brutally enforcing an illegal arrest with a taser gun? What do you expect with a name like that? Officer Dickey, the name says it all!
They are not qualified. D e f u n d !
It kind of defeats having a bodycam.. if officers can decide when to turn on/off their audio and/or visual.
Anyone know the superior officer? I want to share the story and give credit.
That's crazy I can honestly say this is the only time I've seen another officer refuse to just jump on the dog pile. I wish this video was more viral police like that deserve our respect and protection I'd like to know what happened to the cop who stood up for our Rights he needs to be promoted.
Live to die by POLICES hands. LIFE is great!!
Respect to that superior officer, though.
Mr Dicky
I am blown away by what I just saw… in both the corrupt cop and a commanding officer who has morals and put him in his place. I can’t imagine the further abuse the protestor would’ve received if the commander didn’t arrive and didn’t have morals. 💡 Side note: Why are cops allowed to turn off their cams? They should be rolling non-stop. Tbh, I’m surprised they didn’t turn them off sooner.
Haha. Put in place by your own teammates. Good! What a good police officer. Thank you buddy. I'm killing the audio. Your making us look like idiots. Lol! Anything that is government is public owned by the people for the people. Drop the ego. Did his sign offend you?
Thank God there's good cops. The cop at the end did the right thing and stepped in which more cops should do. Colorado has serious issue with power tripping and racist cops. More on the power tripping side
What a great example from his superior , we need more good cops , I hope this tyrant learned the lesson
Protestor: So Mr Dicky
Officer: it’s Officer Dicky
Me: Lmao
Sounds like dickey needed a tune-up, street style.
This had a happy ending
He and his colleague are bad cops. I love his superior that stopt him.
You see the bad cops even don't listen to there superior's
Why they always hire dumbass police officers? So unfair to the general public when they abuse their power!! This officer should also go prison..lose his job…teach him a good lesson too!!, 🤬🤬🤬
