GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Police Department has released four videos regarding the March 2021 traffic stop use of force.
The videos of the stop are from officer-worn body cameras
Officer Reed’s video shows the perspective of two officers who were not initially part of the traffic stop.
Officer Kotecki’s video is from the perspective of the officer who makes contact with the passenger. The officer, having learned that the passenger was making movements under his seat, made the decision to remove the passenger from the vehicle. The passenger was removed from the car legally, safely and without force.
Sgt. McCamman’s video shows the use of force that occurred after the driver attempted to flee from the vehicle through the passenger side door. During the struggle to subdue, the officer believed that the suspect was attempting to take possession of his firearm. Hand strikes to the face were used to stop attempts by the suspect to disarm the officer.
Officer Sale’s video shows the perspective of the officer making contact with the driver. This video is not one of the videos circulating on social media but is a part of the record of the stop and arrest, which is being released to provide full transparency. The video shows the driver’s refusal to comply with lawful commands, his attempt to evade officers, and his eventual arrest.
Police Chief Eric Payne is providing this statement regarding the videos:
I am very sympathetic to the fact that the use of force by police officers, in any manner, can be disturbing for the public to see. I also feel very strongly that my officers exhibit tremendous discretion in determining when force is required, and that they use the verbal commands and de-escalation techniques they have been trained on before resorting to physical engagement or other use of force.
The conversation around the limited footage that is publicly available is unfortunately lacking critical details and information. I want to provide the full context for the encounter and additional video of the events that led to the stop and the subsequent arrests of three individuals as well as the recovery of four illegal guns.
For the last year we have seen an unprecedented increase in violent crime and illegal weapons. We, as a community, have experienced:
• 40 homicides from January 2020 to date.
• Over 183 recovered firearms since the beginning of 2021
• 83% increase in weapons violations
On March 26, 2021, 110 Hall Street SW was being surveilled by officers due to a history of violent crime over the past year including:
• 6 stolen vehicles or police pursuits
• 15 assaults
• 15 calls for shots fired
• 19 Weapons offenses
• 56 Arrests
In fact, one 11-day period prior to Operation: Safe Neighborhoods, the address experienced 12 recovered firearms and more than 3300 grams of narcotics, resulting in 34 drug and weapons charges.

EDUCATIONAL: Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 (1977), is a United States Supreme Court criminal law decision holding that a police officer ordering a person out of a car following a traffic stop and conducting a pat-down to check for weapons did not violate the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/434/106/
