The body camera video shows Columbia police Sgt. Roger Schlude drawing his gun before he gets out of the patrol car.

Schlude draws his weapon on then-17-year-old Ce�zan D. Stock, who is standing on Aztec Boulevard in east Columbia, and orders the teen to take his hand out of his hoodie pocket. Stock obeys as he films Schlude with his phone. For about 45 seconds, Schlude�s gun is pointed at Stock. Detective Chris Papineau is on the driver�s side, trading taunts with Stock.

Some of Stock�s friends walk toward the officers, but by the end of the second minute of Schlude�s footage, they all have started to walk away.

In interviews with Internal Affairs investigators, Schlude said Stock was known to be armed and dangerous and that the teen and his friends had been involved in shootings.

�I noted we were outnumbered by gang members, and I wanted to defuse the situation from escalating any further,� he told Internal Affairs investigators.

He also was concerned that Stock had his hand in his pocket, he told investigators, and because of previous threats Stock had made toward police. Officers had arrested Stock about a month before this incident after finding a gun in the car he was driving. Unlawful weapon possession charges later were dropped.

Schlude was cleared of using excessive force after an investigation, but on Friday the activist group headed by Matt Akins, Citizens for Justice, posted two body camera videos of the encounter on YouTube. Schlude�s body camera footage had more than 11,000 views Thursday morning. Meanwhile, Stock sits in jail on a $100,000 bond for a nonviolent felony charge because authorities said he might commit a violent crime.

Papineau�s footage shows Stock approach the officers� vehicle, coming as close as a car�s length away. Papineau and Stock trade barbs, each threatening to fight the other and Stock alluding to a shooting of police officers in New York City. Stock�s mother, Andrea Brookins, filed a complaint about a week later, and the detective�s taunts got him a written warning from Columbia Police Department Chief Ken Burton.

However, Schlude was not disciplined. Burton ruled that Brookins� allegation of excessive use of force � for pulling a gun � was unfounded. Schlude and Burton did not respond to interview requests. Columbia Police Department Officer Latisha Stroer said the department will not comment on personnel matters.

Four months later, Stock refused to pull over for police on a warrant as he was leaving work at Wendy�s on Clark Lane because, Brookins said Tuesday, he was afraid of police after several encounters. So he called his mom and went to her house, in the 4200 block of Stevendave Drive, where she could film the arrest.

Cellphone video Brookins took shows Schlude push her as she films her son�s arrest. Again she complained, and Burton ruled the accusation of the use of excessive force unfounded.

The first incident occurred March 7, 2015, and the second on July 24, 2015.

Akins, who started Citizens for Justice in 2010 and has had multiple encounters with Columbia police and recently lost a lawsuit against the city and police officers, said he has known Brookins since 2012 and that the videos do not show Stock being a threat. Akins also provided the Tribune with the Internal Affairs reports.

Dale Roberts, executive director of the Columbia Police Officers� Association, said Schlude is not a member of the union and that he didn�t want to weigh in on whether he thought Schlude�s actions were justified.

�These guys were on the scene and made a split-second decision to respond as they did,� Roberts said of the video that shows Schlude pointing a gun at Stock. �Personally, I have to respect that.�

Police have been under intense scrutiny over the last two years after fatal shootings of suspects, Roberts said, making their job more difficult.

Stock, now 19, and Brookins were injured in an April 25 shooting at the Highway 63/Interstate 70 connector. Brookins mostly has recovered from a bullet wound to her left leg, but Stock�s face still has glass in it from bullets shattering the car�s windows. Police and prosecutors have said Stock is a violent gang member, using that argument to persuade Judge Jeff Harris to keep him in the Boone County Jail on a $100,000 bond for a receiving stolen property charge, a Class C felony that often carries a $4,500 bond. Stock refused to speak with detectives about the April shooting and told them he would �take care of it himself,� according to court documents, which police took to mean violence.

His bond has remained high despite three attempts to reduce it by his attorney, Kevin O�Brien.

Boone County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jennifer Rodewald argued in court in July that the shooting on the connector was part of a feud between two groups, and though three men accused in the shooting are locked up, Stock could go after their friends. Rodewald said she would not talk about the case outside court.

Brookins, 35, said her son is not in a gang and that retaliation would be out of the question if Stock is released because all three of the men accused in the shooting also are in jail awaiting trial. She said she cannot afford to pay the bond.

�They�re scared of CJ,� Brookins said of police officers, referring to her son by his nickname. �I don�t get it. They say it�s because of his music videos.�

Stock, whom Brookins called an aspiring rapper, appears in videos on YouTube with his friends, who are similarly dressed and flaunting money and guns. Some choice lyrics are directed at Columbia police, and Brookins said the content of the videos makes police believe he�s a danger. It�s all a show, she said, and many of the guns are props, BB guns or borrowed.

In Missouri, Stock has two misdemeanor convictions, one for harassment and one for resisting arrest stemming from his July 2015 arrest after driving away from police. He has two pending misdemeanor charges in Montgomery County of receiving stolen property and trying to bring contraband into a jail.

His pending charge in Boone County stems from an April 20 encounter with police in Columbia. Stock is accused of possessing a stolen gun when detectives tried to pull him over. A witness told police they saw someone throw a gun out of the passenger window. Brookins said her son was driving the car at the time and is innocent.
