THIS IS SUCH OBVIOUS CORRUPTION!!!!!! Consequences?!?!?!

Imagine how many times they’ve done this to people who didn’t have the news to expose the corrupt police.

This is about as insane as corrupt law enforcement gets

Lying like that. Criminal behavior.

“They utilized large umbrellas....” what?? This is so embarrassing. Stop. Just stop.

You know it is against civil rights to not let people get together and voice their options to the government. It is insane. A few bad people whom had nothing to do w harming anyone or anything. I think someone needs to study the law because how is it a gang to get together and protest.

End Qualified Immunity . Cops will quit when they know they will be held personally accountable for their own actions . They will be to afraid

The thumb of law enforcement is pushing down on the scales of justice. People deserve what they get when they do or say nothing. Home of the free has evolved to a-not so funny- joke.

I didn’t see any criminal conduct by the protesters, only by the police and the prosecutor should be disbarred. Thank God for that Judge! I hope the jury is just as well.

We demand accountability and transparency. Hold these “Public Servants” accountable for their lies and corruption.

The, now deceased, County Attorney would not allow criminal actions to go unchecked UNLESS they are done by cops and her staff. We are taught that when we die we will have to answer for our crime/sins I wonder if she lied when her time came to account for her actions or lack of action?

They don't look like gang members. Wow.

One more thing. Cops are scared of everything. Don’t call police that are afraid of umbrellas

30 years??? These people were going to ruin lives!! They deserve prison time!

Yes, this is wild prosecuting.

If you have a prosecutor making accusations like that then he deserves to be behind bars or stripped of his position and title this is a bold-faced lie and we have it on tape is documented it's on TV and we put up with this kind of hypocrisy these are the same kind of people we trust to do the right thing shameful

This is insane, this goes back decades.

This is what happens when high school kids that barely graduated are given authority!

From this video my take is that our law enforcement and our government are the ones that are the most dangerous gang of criminals within our nation.

He is such a liar why is he not under the jail?

And the whole Phoenix PD was the real gang.

When I was in jail I know a few of my homies that had April as there prosocuter and I know they each got 7 years just for being together at a BBQ

There's only one gang here. In suits and uniforms.

Oh, those terrible umbrellas. But I didn't see any cops being attacked by umbrellas. Famous Maricopa County. Corruption is the first thing that comes to mind for many. Keep up the investigations. The taxpayers deserve much better.

That’s some anti American lawyers down there.

Someone once said ACAB.

i came from Romania during communist time they did the same thing its scary

No more Qualified Immunity ! Time to hold government accountable ! No more free rides!!!

break out those RICO laws and get chargin', feds!

The entire police structure in Arizona needs to be stripped of all power.

The way they labeled them a gang with such little evidence is crazy. Because the Los Angeles sheriff have been caught having gangs for so long. Matching tattoos acting like gangs but yet they are not a gang smh

Y’all are doing Gods work. Dave ain’t no jokec

Arizona police and justice system is out of control and the Justice Department needs to investigate all of the civil rights violations by the police and in consort with the Arizona judicial system.

Holy cow! This is so unnerving. When people in positions of authority and who have taken an oath to serve and protect violate their position they should face automatic prison sentences. The cost to public trust is so damaging.

Good job cops. You confirmed everything the people accused you of.

End grand jury’s only Preliminary Trials Let everyone see the evidence

ALL HER cases should be overturned.

What about Criminal activity disguised as "Policing"???😮

I wouldn't be chosen for a jury because I'm thinking jury nullification

This is a huge shame on our Police officials do you think normal people could get AWAY with this????????

It's going to get worse

Wow that terrible the cop's aren't just afraid of cameras there afraid of umbrellas

What specific examples regarding umbrellas, have been reported.

There should be a travel issued for Maricopa County stating that the police department in Phoenix is a danger to the public and American constitution.

The Gestapo of Phoenix.

How much hurt can non violent protesters cause . Who hurt who. That cop on the stand is a liar.

No bail but yet sex offenders can have bail

Why would you title her as an alleged gang member.

Wow.

how is America different than any other third world country?? I would say in many instances, America are WORSE than any corruption that I have seen in my own country (Bangladesh). At least we don't have to buy an inhaler with multi hundred dollars, only 300 taka

Can the prosecutor be charged or sued for reckless prosecution?

They are extremely dangerous

Where was the criminal conduct? That Sgt lied under oath.

Caps is going to get this attorney disbarred she truly screwed up by doing this this is exactly what I've been waiting on.

There is so.ething soo embRassing about this prosecution

People's Republikkk of Arizona hates dissent.

The cops forgot to add in their notes to define ACAB as a dangerous gang, that thealso had: Two hands Two legs Shoesx2 Oh and a head

She's a threat at exposing the police.

Hopefully these people suit all that was involved in the arrest

👮‍♂️ ~ Here’s something that comes to my mind, which a lot of crazy “activist” won’t agree with (PS, I support ending police misconduct and holding police accountable, but I don’t support the CRAZY activists.) OK, so here’s what first comes to my mind… Even though charging them as a gang is disgusting and abuse of power, that’s what I’m not gonna talk about. That’s not what I think I want to mention, because that part is clear. What I want to mention is I wonder if more people don’t care about this because too often these BLM type activists say anything cops do or like them being a gang/thugs/etc. The country should be paying attention to the story, but a lot of the country is desensitized to a lot of this crap with cops because you have so many of these crazy activist play me there anything a cop does is horrible and excessive force, so people are just getting desensitized to these claims.

What about the gangs posing as law in forcemeat.

What about the politicians in police that are harming our community

She is a threat to crooked cops

Seem like the PD and attorneys office are the real gang!

Proves that ACAB! I've got a few other choice words for them too.

This is totally sad and messed up because the police officers and the prosecutor officers did shady stuff to the innocent people demonstrating against police brutality.

How does the public benefit by prosecuting people that did not commit crimes? Why would any police department condone prosecuting innocent people? These are all crimes committed against innocent citizens and no type of immunity should protect anyone in law enforcement from prosecution due to the harm they willfully committed against innocent citizens. This is a major problem. Prosecuting and jailing criminal police and law officials is more important than prosecuting and jailing most any other type of criminals. As an American citizen I can protect myself from average citizens that are criminals. I can't protect myself against criminals within law enforcement because they are protected, as they should be. This is why it's so important that criminals are not to be allowed to wear law enforcement uniforms or for them to illegally be protected by law enforcement in any way. Or those law enforcement officers protecting them instantly become criminals themselves and just as dangerous, and deserving being prosecuted themselves and so on. This is a state matter that if it isn't handled properly by the state, it should instantly become a Federal prosecution matter to protect American citizens from the individual states. This is a serious matter that effects every American and goes directly against our American freedoms and the constitution of the United States of America and other documents empowering our government in protecting American citizens

The cops are the gang

There is darkness inside DA April Sponsel.

What were they doing wrong besides walking down the street with umbrellas and chatting oh that that's right it's not legal to tell the public what's going on right.

When one group of people dominates another, that domination it always interpreted as just and fair, often by members of both groups. They mistake cheating and unfair treatment for decent moral values. If the dominated group can be displayed as criminal, the dominate group can hide true intent. But if they can’t be displayed as criminal, the dominate group is forced to cheat flat out, and create myths based on stereotypes. ( Push comes to shove)

I HOPE THEY STOP BREATHING

MY GOD!!!!! Respect humans!!!!! WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL!!!!! LIFE IS PRECIOUS AND PRICELESS!,!,!!!!!! WHOEVER AND WHATEVER YOU ARE --- RESPECT LIFE!!!!!

Even all the police fit their own descriptions. They all wear same colors, they chant hands up, and almost all of them have tattoos.

He got the cop to commit perjury. Asked if he heard other things. No video shows then saying black lives matter. He admits to personally watching video.

But you will allow criminal conduct disguised as law enforcement activities to harm not only the community, but the residents within the community. Not only is this a violation of the right to protest and right to free speech, this is open discrimination and racism. SMH

If it was peaceful they would not be in rhis spot

please work on audio, L R balance is fucked

🤦‍♂️ ~ And the reporter should know better than comparing the capital insurrectionists rioters to people in Arizona. BLM type protesters are protesting all over the country and not been charged as gangs before. This is an issue with that county in Arizona, it’s not a countrywide issue. I think the insurrectionist should’ve got much longer in prison, but it’s two different jurisdictions. There’s a lot of states where if you commit murder You go to prison for The rest of your life. The judge only decides if it’s with parole or without parole. There’s other states where if you commit the same act of murder and you do not have any other criminal history you don’t get more than 15 years in prison. Different states are different. And even different jurisdictions in different states can be different. So a lot of the viewers will see this double standard and think it matters, it doesn’t. And this reporter is smart enough to know it doesn’t matter. It’s like comparing apples to oranges, or apples to watermelon. Completely different.

Yep this police department needs to be taken apart because the simple fact is they're going to blame the little soldiers or the ones are at fault for this but look at all the guns tear gas pepper gun balls and everything else and all these guys had umbrellas to protect themselves now who are the real gang members here who came with weapons who came to hurt people because none these other people had weapons and I need people were trying to fight no they just came in there and just mold them yeah and then they made it look like they were doing crimes and all they were trying to do is protect themselves with umbrellas the cops were the ones doing all the damage but yeah they're going to drive just through court for years and make a lot of money on it look at the judges district attorneys boy they're going to get rich with this one

why dont you guys do a honest story on the 1st Amendment audit guys in your area?

The thugs in the uniforms look like the only criminals

How can people love the police

DAVE BISCOBING IS THE BEST REPORTER IN AMERICA

THIS HAS ARPAIO WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Officer wear blue uniforms 4:57

Phoenix cops what a waste of time

Why did the protest start Bad cops

Can I be on that game

Paid protesters

The 30 yr sentence was ridiculous! But they need to face fines for the disruption and damages they caused. That would be fair. And BLM needs to be held accountable for the dozens of murders and billions in property damage. Every needs to be held accountable for their actions. No one is above the law, right? Right.

I was going to have sympathy for the thugs until I saw the video of them acting like destructive children.

What a bunch of BS

Shut up.... Just stop the division

ibet that chief is a democrat.

What gets me is you lie about trump people the Antigua and fbi set this crap up tell the dam truth or none at all ty ..

Bad cops yes I get it But to paint trump supporters in the same picture as blm rioters and burners is ridicules the people are on to this type of propaganda

Knock off the cop hatred. They bought their ticket, take their ride. All cops are NOT bastards. Not all protesters are violent.

The biggest Gang talking about other gang just Ironic.
