Body Cam Proves Lies....Again

A criminal making false statements against the police? The "media" reporting these lies as fact?

CWB destroys the Fox "News" report by requesting the body camera footage - something Fox should have done before airing the lies:

• Police body camera footage appears to contradict parts of a television news report in which a Chicago man claimed CPD officers beat and wrongly arrested him while he was trying to rescue his younger brother from a Fourth of July “teen takeover.”

  Quotangelo Temple, 19, was featured by Fox Chicago four days after his arrest in the 1200 block of South Fairfield Avenue. The station’s story, headlined “Chicago football player alleges police beat him while rescuing younger brother during teen takeover,” centered on Temple’s claim that he went to the gathering only to retrieve his 16-year-old brother.

  “I was just trying to get my little brother out of there,” Temple told Fox Chicago. He denied striking any officer and said he wished police had “approached me differently.” “The disregard of what they had going on, how they was frustrated with the kids and all that stuff, that don’t mean just take that anger out on me,” Temple said.

Um....you don't get to "rescue" someone who is being arrested - that's a charge unto itself dumbass.

But guess what CWB discovered when the body cam footage was viewed?

• After reviewing Fox Chicago’s report, CWB Chicago filed a public records request seeking all Chicago Police Department body-worn camera footage related to Temple’s arrest and the criminal charges filed against him. CPD released one body camera recording last week.

  In that footage, the man CPD identifies as Temple is not wearing the clothing shown in Fox Chicago’s report. Instead, he is wearing a black T-shirt with a white and red design, jean shorts, and red athletic shoes. Temple’s mugshot from July 4th also shows him wearing a black T-shirt.

  As the CPD clip begins, the man police identified as Temple walks quickly around the back of a parked SUV and advances briskly toward a group of officers. An officer almost immediately pushes him back, telling him to “back up, back up,” and a physical struggle begins.

So HE approached aggressively. 

HE disregarded legal, lawful and proper orders to cease his advance and return to the sidewalk.

HE grabs an Officer by his vest.

HE continues the attack by swinging his fists before being subdued and arrested. 

Too bad he didn't get tasered. 

But kudos to CWB for doing the job the "media" doesn't even bother to do any more.
