Body Cam Footage Released 00:03:06
Okay, so they finally released the body cam footage of this actor, Alan Richardson.
He's famous for the show Reacher.
Well, in this body cam footage, he beats the hell out of his neighbor.
Check this out.
So, all we want to do is talk about what happened over there.
Okay, I just.
Obviously, my life is very high stakes, Juan.
Sure.
Very public, so I just think I need my attorney.
Whatever started it, but it does show you beating him up pretty good.
Did he cut out the rest?
This was from a neighbor.
I'm just letting you know there is.
He cut out the part where he shoved me off the bike.
So, this isn't from him.
This is from a third party witness.
Was it cut though?
Was it edited?
No.
A situation like this, which I'm sure looks bad for me, but it's self defense.
Sorry, I rolled my bike out this afternoon to clean it up, and he comes through the neighborhood full revs with two kids on, I think, e bikes.
He goes up the hill, comes back down.
I walk out and stop and say, hey, guy, dude, you got to stop.
You gotta stop, like, in these neighborhoods.
So he hit his brakes hard, because I was, like, trying to stop him.
I was like, eagerly.
He falls off his bike, he gets up, and he starts to wail.
You can see this.
Yeah.
Okay, first of all, you don't step in front of somebody on his bike like that.
And then you make him put his bike down, he falls down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, anybody in that right mind is gonna be very pissed.
Yeah.
You gotta stop, like, in these neighborhoods.
So he hit his brakes hard, because I was, like, trying to stop him.
I was like, eagerly.
He falls off his bike, he gets up, and he starts to wail.
You can see this.
Yeah, he starts waiting on me.
He needs medical attention.
No, I'm fucked.
So then I'm like, he gets back on his bike and I'm like, he starts getting like fresh air.
Like, I push him back.
He gets back up off his bike and then like beats out of me.
What?
I didn't push back.
But he's like, I'm good.
And I was like, he just stopped riding around and looking.
Right.
This kid's in the van.
I kind of wasn't looking at him.
You can see.
Yeah, I see.
That's why.
And I'm on the floor, you fing wailing on me.
I was scared.
I'm out here with the victim.
And all I was doing was trying to be my bike.
Do you know who it is?
I don't know.
Wait, you saw him get a paper?
Sorry?
Did you get a tag on the green?
No, no, no.
It was a green Kawasaki with a big fing muscly dude.
Yeah, he was like.
Huge, huge dude.
And I pushed him back, but then he fell.
Because he fell over.
What was he wearing?
Looked like he's laughing.
He said, This dude's huge.
I reckon just regular.
You do?
Yeah, you can see.
I just brought my black axe up.
The Bike Incident Explained 00:08:08
I know he said he didn't want any, but.
He's got a pretty large abrasion on his head and it's swollen pretty bad.
So let's go.
Messy that roof.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, there's a way to do things and there's a way not to do things.
How you approach him is.
He has no right to put his hands on you, but come on.
Take some accountability.
You made the dude fall off his bike.
You made him put his bike down.
That's reach, are we talking about?
That's reach.
That still does not justify him beating the hell out of him.
Chief, you coming down the neighborhood, say you on your motorcycle, and the dude jumps up and he's slumpy.
You're like, hey, bam.
You fall down.
You're like, motherfucker, bam.
Okay.
You come down the neighborhood.
He's like, just riding your holler.
Yeah, yeah, I heard that life is good.
And then his dude killed that stuff.
He's like, hey, what are you doing?
Oh, bam!
Hey, did he get some people?
Oh, bam!
I just like, I'm so fed up with people riding through our neighborhood.
He's crazy.
I'm in.
I absolutely want to press charges for sure.
Okay.
All right.
Hey, Alan.
Hey, good.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm just trying to contact my attorney.
Oh, you're good.
Reacher, I think you remember Officer Smith from yesterday.
Oh, yeah, it's been a weird two days.
Um, so all we want to do is talk about what happened over there.
Okay, I just obviously my life is very high stakes, one sure, very public.
So I just think I need my attorney to just be privy to this.
Yeah, there's video of the incident, right?
It doesn't show the whatever started it, but it does show you beating him up pretty good.
Did he cut out the rest?
This was from a neighbor.
I'm just letting you know there is.
He cut out the part where he shoved me off the bike.
So this isn't from him.
This is from a third party witness.
Was it cut though?
Was it edited?
No.
So you would have seen him shove me off my bike after I tried to leave peacefully?
No.
So I'm not accusing you of anything.
I know, but like, what have you seen though?
Because if you didn't find that part, I guess this makes sense.
So all I see is you beating up on him in the grass, right?
I didn't.
And I'm expecting.
You missed the rest.
Which is why I'm here, because it doesn't look good for you, and I want to figure out what happened.
I'll check with that, dude.
Let's just watch it together.
No, you also need to do a toxicology report.
He smells like alcohol.
Okay.
This is it.
Is that your blood?
Do you need medical attention or anything like that?
It's on your alcohol.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Are you kidding me, bro?
For what?
Stand in front of a bike again, dude.
For doing what?
You threatened my.
Safety, bro.
Are you kidding me?
I should know you're in the fire area.
Go ahead, knock me out.
You're going out.
I've called the BPP.
I've called them already because you'll be driving around this neighborhood like a lunatic.
There's kids riding around here.
Go ahead.
It's all on camera.
Go ahead.
He's a lunatic.
You're a lunatic for standing right in front of him.
Yeah, he seems like a Karen to me.
I understand why he's so upset.
Yeah, yeah.
You make me put my bike down?
Yeah.
Well, I'm going upside your head.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you drunk right now, bro?
Go ahead.
Are you drinking?
Go ahead.
Call the police.
Out of your mind, dude.
Call the police.
You're lucky to knock you out, bro.
Go ahead.
Knock me out.
Go ahead.
I called the police.
Unbelievable, dude.
I called the police.
They told Claire, bro, you're lying around here.
They instigated all of this.
I should have run you over, dude.
You did?
You did?
Still running his mouth.
I'm in my house, taking my bike.
You're driving around like a.
Lunatic!
Call the police!
Lean now, because you're a f***ing, f.
Well, that's why he pushed him off his bike.
See?
Out of your goddamn mind.
What?
Stay down.
Stupid.
That makes sense why he kept hitting him so he could go get back on his bike.
Yeah.
Totally makes sense now.
Yeah, the actor, Reacher, he ain't doing anything wrong.
Yeah.
I mean,.
If their caring neighbor can be upset, he can get upset.
The problem, you know what, probably happened?
He's in there watching the soccer game.
These bikes are very loud and it's annoying to him.
And he handled this situation totally wrong.
You don't step in front of a bike.
That's one thing you do not do.
He could have injured himself severely.
And he had kids behind him.
Yeah, so I understand why he's so upset.
That was assault what he did too.
Yeah, he started it all on camera.
So there is going to be a report taken for this, obviously.
I mean, you're welcome to call your attorney.
I'll give you the incident number so you have that.
Um, 250.
But I think he's justified.
Yeah, his neighbor is the instigator, he started all this.
Look at both interviews.
Look at Retra, how calm he is.
Yeah, and other guy is hysterical, he's crying.
This says it all right here.
Yeah, that right there.
He was the aggressor the entire time.
Totally the aggressor.
You do not step in front of a person on his bike.
It's dangerous.
I just saw him in a movie.
I forget the name of the movie.
It's pretty good.
War Machine.
War Machine, yeah.
But back to his neighbor, DeCarron.
You got to be an idiot to run up to a guy that big.
You know why he ran up to him?
Because he's drunk.
He's still watching the soccer show.
You don't even know who he is.
He's famous.
Yeah, how do you not know Reacher is your damn neighbor?
You got Reacher living right across the.
You don't know who he is.
You jump in front of his bike.
That's crazy.
Dude, just keep.
Dudes in movies, War Machine just came out on Netflix.
You jumped out from his bike.
Man, you are a total idiot.
You're a tool, is what you.
What?
A tool?
