A newly obtained video at the center of an ongoing federal civil rights lawsuit shows an Atlantic City police officer yelling at two young men during a traffic stop, telling them if they “frog the f--- up” his 90-pound K-9 is going “to come out and rip the f--- out of you.”

Officer Glenn Anthony Abrams Jr. pulled over 22-year-old Antoine Jones and his passenger, 21-year-old Brian Wilson, at Mediterranean and Pennsylvania avenues on the evening of Feb. 14, 2017. According to the lawsuit, veteran officer Andrew Jaques then allegedly “pulled up to the scene like a lunatic.”

It’s unclear why Jones and Wilson were pulled over, but the officers did not charge them with any traffic violations or criminal offenses after the stop and search of their vehicle.

Jaques and Abrams approached the passenger-side window of the 2001 Saturn, and when Wilson began videotaping the encounter, Jaques allegedly stuck his hand through the open window and “violently” grabbed Wilson’s phone.

However, Jones continued to videotape the incident, in which the two men in the car asked the officers why they were being pulled over and whether Wilson could have his phone back.

“I’m gonna explain this one time and one time only,” Jaques says in the video that is over one minute long. “This is gonna go two ways. You are gonna act like a gentleman and I’m gonna treat you like a gentleman. You frog the f--- up, I guarantee you that 90-pound dog is gonna come out and rip the f--- out of you."

Jaques continued: “If your hand doesn’t disappear, I’m gonna knock you the f--- out. Put your hand in my face, I’m gonna knock you the f--- out. I’m that f---ing guy, you understand me? So calm the f--- down. You feel me?”

When they responded, “yes, sir,” Jaques continued his threats.

“You start acting like a f---ing fool, I will drag you out of this f---ing window,” he says.

“I’m not disrespecting you. You want to frog the f--- up? I’ve got no problem. We will step out and bang. I got no f---ing problem.”

Besides mentioning that their body cameras are recording, Abrams does not speak or appear to intervene during the incident, according to the video.

The video ends after Jones stopped recording when Jaques said they were under “lawful detention” and did not have the right to use their phones. According to state law, “a driver and/or passenger(s) may use a cell phone to record a stop as long as it does not interfere with following the officer’s instructions.”

According to the lawsuit, the incident did not stop there. Wilson and Jones were ordered out of the car and were searched by Jaques and Abrams. The officers also searched the car, according to the lawsuit.

Jones and Wilson were then released without charges.

In the beginning of the video, Jaques tells the two men not to worry about videotaping him because his body camera is recording. However, when NJ Advance Media filed an Open Public Records Act request to obtain the video last year, the city said the video did not exist.

The video in this story was entered into the public record when the lawsuit was filed in December 2017.

The seven-count lawsuit includes allegations of racial profiling, illegal search and false imprisonment against Abrams, Jaques and Atlantic City.

“It is standard operating procedure for ACPD officers to terrorize young people of color in Atlantic City by stopping them, searching them, harassing them and provoking them to respond in a manner that frequently results in violence and false charges,” attorney Jennifer Bonjean wrote in the lawsuit.

An Atlantic City Police Department spokesman declined to comment, referring all questions to the city solicitor’s office, which did not return a message seeking comment. A spokesperson for the Atlantic City mayor’s office declined to comment, saying they have been advised not to comment on ongoing litigation.

Abrams and Jaques could not be reached for comment.

Abrams is a 12-year officer who earns $93,868 annually, and Jaques recently retired with "ordinary disability” and collects a monthly pension of $3,322.78, according to state records.

Both officers have been at the center of police misconduct cases during their careers.

During a period from 2001 to 2002, Jaques was accused of beating a bicyclist with a nightstick, allegedly physically abusing his girlfriend, also an Atlantic City police officer, and slamming a juvenile on the ground during an arrest, according to a 2007 federal court opinion.

“A jury could reasonably infer that, in allowing this, the city turned a blind-eye and was deliberately indifferent to Jaques’ behavior,” the judge wrote, describing Jaques’ behavior as that of a “volatile, even short-fused officer.”

Jaques was fired by the department in 2006 but returned to the force after being reinstated by the Civil Service Commission, according to the Asbury Park Press.

The department later appointed Jaques to the prestigious role of K-9 officer. Joe Rodriguez, a retired Atlantic City K-9 officer, previously testified that Jaques should not have been in the K-9 unit because he was “too aggressive and did not have the temperament for the position.”

Abrams, according to the Asbury Park Press, took a pit bull puppy from a home during a drug raid in 2009, and in attempt to get rid of the stolen property, he sent the dog to a kill shelter.

The dog was returned to its owners three months later, and Abrams accepted a 90-day suspension, according to the newspaper. During the course of the investigation, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office impounded his police vehicle and found marijuana, narcotics prescribed to residents who allege Abrams stole them and guns.

He was not disciplined following the search of his police vehicle, Abrams said at a trial for an unrelated excessive force lawsuit against the department. His father, Glenn Abrams, retired as an Atlantic City police captain in 2014.
