# unarmed man swat team tactics sleepwalking 911 call cherokee county sheriffs department civil rights violations drone deployment hostage situation law enforcement accountability north carolina officialhawtwinscom police excessive force police report qualified immunity reparations

Hodgetwins dissect a deadly SWAT raid in Cherokee County, North Carolina, where officers shot an unarmed, sleepwalking resident after throwing a drone through his window. They condemn the police for ignoring de-escalation opportunities, relying on alleged false reports of combativeness, and securing qualified immunity to avoid accountability. Despite the victim surviving and likely receiving reparations, the hosts argue this incident exposes systemic trigger-happiness and a lack of consequences for excessive force in modern policing.

Yeah, but, but you know what, man, cops are not perfect, man.
Teachers are not perfect.
Presidents are not perfect, you know?
Nobody's perfect, man.
People make mistakes, man.
Even the men in blue.
The men and women in blue.
But did they really make a mistake, though?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Okay, this is what happened.
This happened in North Carolina.
There was some...
There was a...
There was a 9-1-1 call.
There were shots fired.
So the...
What's the name of the sheriff department?
It was Cherokee County Sheriff.
Yeah, this happened in North Carolina.
So the cops show up.
They're thinking maybe there's a hostage situation.
There was gunshots that reported in the area before.
Well, someone called 911, right?
Reported that.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Right?
So the cops show up.
Go ahead and start the video.
They throw a drone into the...
See that light?
They threw a drone through the window.
Oh, man.
That's cool, man.
Yeah, man.
They can actually see what's in the house, huh?
Yeah, see, they looking.
That's what I, man.
The men in blue, man.
It's technology advances right there.
Yeah, so they shining light.
Man, advancements in technology.
Yeah, see, that wakes them up.
They're getting up.
Yeah, they're like, what's going on?
What says up?
Hello?
Whoa!
What is going on?
First thing he did was put a cigarette in his mouth.
You see him?
Yeah, because we just a creature of habit.
Yeah.
Dude, got a cigarette hanging in his mouth.
He got a cigarette in his mouth.
Yeah.
Some people grab coffee, he grabbed cigarettes.
What did he pick up?
He picked up the drone.
Yeah.
Picked up the drone.
What the fuck?
I think they broke his window throwing it in.
So he's got the drone.
He's shot.
What the hell?
They said, come out with your hands out.
Getting shot.
I don't know, yo.
What on earth?
I'm shot.
He's still trying to go outside with his hands up.
This is insane.
Hey, post the video.
Come outside with your hands up.
We just want to talk to you.
Come on outside with your hands up.
We just want to talk to you.
Why would he pick up that drone, though?
Well, he just woke up.
He's not thinking.
But look like it would be out of time.
If the cops are calling me to come outside with your hands up, I'm going to make sure I don't have nothing in my hand.
I ain't going to have no cigarette in my mouth.
All you're going to see is the white of my hands.
All you're going to see is the white of my hands and my eyes and teeth.
You ain't going to see nothing black in my hands.
That's all you're going to see.
Hands and face.
What y'all woke?
I was saying dead now.
Hey, but the cops, why did y'all shoot them so quick?
Why didn't you say drop it?
Drop it.
Y'all just start shooting.
But they should know that's the drone they threw in there.
It's got a light shining on it.
Yeah, this is the SWAT team.
They thought it was a sculptor.
This is the SWAT team.
I mean, the SWAT team.
This is the SWAT team.
They're supposed to be professionals.
Cheryl County SWAT team.
Yeah.
Y'all was a little too trigger happy, man.
Y'all should at least gave him an opportunity to drop whatever he had.
If it was a gun, he would have been like this.
He was like this.
Yeah.
Common sense.
Some people that become cops, they shouldn't be cops.
They got way too much anxiety.
Yeah.
Y'all should like give an anxiety test.
It's how people react in stressful situations.
That was the SWAT team.
Have they had any training in stressful situations?
Oh, man.
It's funny, man, but it's kind of crazy.
It's funny and crazy.
I mean, it's funny because it's not us getting shot, but he lived.
He's fine.
He's totally fine.
So don't get mad at me for laughing.
Come out with your hands up.
We just want to talk to you.
I've seen this one comedy.
Hey, do you got more footage?
Are you listening to me?
Do you got more footage?
Yeah, go ahead.
You keep playing the rest.
He still got his hands up.
I don't have a gun now.
I don't have a gun.
That is crazy.
I know, man.
It's got to be scary.
You should just step over.
Shouldn't y'all be giving him first aid?
But they got to clear the house.
He got all that damn body on him.
God damn it.
Hey, start working here now.
Work it.
Work it again.
We're going to put him over here.
At least he's going to get paid, man.
You got to work another day in his life.
He can upgrade that.
Give him a double eye.
Yeah, just because you think somebody's got a gun, I mean, you shouldn't think he has a gun.
Before you shoot somebody, you have to know that's a gun.
Well, that's easy for you to say.
They don't need that burden of proof.
They don't?
No.
So I'm holding a cell phone up and I flash it and they think it's a gun and shoot and kill me.
They're cleared?
Yeah.
That don't sound right.
Well, their life's more important than cops.
You know that?
You crazy as hell.
That's literally how it works, though.
Yeah, but that's how it works.
If I get in an argument with somebody, he reaches in his pocket for a cell phone.
I was like, oh my God, he's got a gun.
I pull my piece and I take my 22 out and put like six in his chest and he dies.
That's self-defense?
You going to jail?
Cops, they ain't going to jail.
Why?
They made a mistake?
I made a mistake.
We both should say cops are better than you.
No, they're not.
Yeah, they are there, but yeah.
You didn't know that?
They ain't going to jail.
They ain't going to go to jail.
No, they thought it was a gun.
Turns out the cops wrote up a police report and was lies all in it.
Are they going to get in trouble for that?
They better than everybody else.
Well, I think the cop.
Well, see, this is the thing.
The cops were reporting it was lies.
All lies.
Said the dude came out, he was combative.
That dude didn't look combative.
That dude was sleepwalking, right?
They wrote all lies.
They had no idea there was a camera in this house.
Yeah.
Is cameras in there?
How do you think?
Well, you think was just looking at a body camera?
Oh, that's right.
It is the camera in the house.
I'm sorry.
I just woke up.
Just like that dude.
Yeah.
But now the cops don't want to talk about it.
It's cos going through the legal process.
But now, cops have qualified immunity.
Yeah.
If they really felt like he had a gun, but they got all that body arm on.
Man, that's crazy.
Well, we understand why cops got qualified immunity because if they didn't have immunity, people would be inless lawsuits for everything.
People would just be suing them just to sue them.
Yeah.
That's why they have immunity.
And they have to keep that immunity because that's a very dangerous thing.
I think in this particular instance, you should lose your qualified immunity.
Yeah, that's negligence.
Yeah, yeah.
But I do support the men and women in blue.
Yeah.
Overall, man, without the men in blue, man, this will be a dystopian society.
It was a dystopian incident.
That was crazy as hell.
Come up, put your hands up.
We just want to talk to you.
Hey, what the dude say for open door?
What the fuck?
Open the door.
Hey!
Just because he got something black in his head, his hands is in that.
Who's gonna shoot you like this?
He's gonna take all y'all out.
I tricked him, you see?
