About half an hour after that, Sowersby posted video to Twitter of a female “protester” being detained by the police. Sowersby asked if there was a female officer available to witness the brief patdown of the woman, and you can hear one of the male officers say “nope.”


Another male officer, presumably the one doing the patdown, also responded by asking “how do you know I don’t identify as a female?” As the other officers laughed, you could hear a demonstrator mumble “f*cking smart a**” while another yelled “we hate you!” It appears that the patdown lasted all of about 5 seconds before the woman was escorted to the back of a police van:

About 7:00 is where this one gets interesting. The people in the black car came to pick the subject up at the Grossmont trolley station.

Correction: The people in the black car live in the condos next to the trolley station. The subject showed up to visit them, but they were out shopping, so he sat down outside the garage entrance to wait for them to return. Then the former cop showed up and started hassling him, apparently not buying his story that he was waiting for friends. When the friends showed up, the subject got up to get into their car, which the cop claimed was assault on a police officer. I will attempt mind reading the other cops who were witnessing this mess - "Oh, man, the paperwork on this one is going to be endless."

Sum total so far of the damages -- the cop lost his job, several buildings damaged in La Mesa by protestors in the next few days, one protestor shot in the head with a "less-lethal" round, a lawsuit against the city of La Mesa.

You hope a law-abiding citizen who stood up for his rights in the face of oppression gets his ass beaten? I didn't expect anything more from you and your little fascist cabal.

I don't know if you noticed, but this happened May 27, two days after the public murder of George Floyd.

No beatings and his soon to be wealthy thanks to the now-unemployed cop. There is a another video somewhere I saw while looking for the ones I posted that was produced in the parking lot of La Mesa PD where the cop gives up and tells him he can go and then threatens to arrest him again because he tries to open the gate before the cops can get to the gate lock release switch.

I don't know if you can tell, but the second bodycam video shows the female cop and friends checking people's transit tickets. I don't know why she and her fellows are herding people to the west end of the waiting area because the sound doesn't come on until later, but they spend a lot of time around the transit ticket machines.

The initial report from LMPD was that the subject was being hassled for smoking, or smoking weed in some recounts. Smoking or vaping anything is illegal in transit stations, but the concrete bench where the hassle took place is across the street from the station, not to mention the fact that he denies it and there is no video or physical evidence of him smoking anything, and no smoking materials were found on his person. LMPD and the City of La Mesa reps have not explicitly said the cop was lying about his reasons for the arrest, but they have said that there are no charges pending and the cop doesn't work for them anymore.
