Even if I don’t get to answer all of them, I promise you, I read them. And please like, share and comment on our videos to help our videos and our guests, and you know I read your comments and appreciate them. I’m not kidding, but it’s why police charged him and what they did after he was cuffed that shows just how much the power of police in rural communities warrants more attention.īut, before I get started, I want you watching to know that if you have video evidence of police misconduct, please email it to us privately at or message me at Police Accountability Reports on Facebook. And today, we will achieve that goal by showing you this video of a Montana man who was arrested, and then later charged with a DUI while checking into a motel room. Instead, we examine the system that makes bad policing possible. And to do so, we don’t just focus on the bad behavior of individual cops. As I always make clear, this show has a single purpose, holding the politically powerful institution of policing accountable. Hello, my name is Taya Graham, and welcome to the Police Accountability Report. A proofread version will be made available as soon as possible. The following is a rushed transcript and may contain errors. Post-Production: Stephen Janis, Adam Coley Police Accountability Report investigates this case of police abuse of power and violence in small town Montana, speaking directly to David Michaud about his ordeal. Once they had Michaud detained, local authorities pressed DUI charges against him. Police gave multiple and conflicting reasons for Michaud’s treatment, from an alleged busted tail light to failing to present ID.
Michaud, who is Chamorro, was asked by officers whether he was “tribal” before being tasered and arrested. After Michaud demanded to know why he was being questioned, a contentious exchange ensued that ended with police tasering Michaud multiple times.
David Michaud had just checked into a motel in Hot Springs, MT when he was approached by local police and ordered to present identification.
