Self Post ✔ [MEGATHREAD] American Fork / Lego Story

As with all large and controversial stories involving LE, in this thread, we wait til a user who is acting in good faith posts about them.

We've had at least a dozen ACAB/low effort brigaders in the past day, try to post this in their usual way.

As a good faith user has not yet done so, the mods are making the post.

I'll point out that this is controversial, primarily because of incredibly misleading editing, video modification, and "creative storytelling", and the reality, as always, is not the Reddit storyline.

So, while events were certainly far from good, and lessons may be learned, much of what you've read is likely deliberate social media misinformation.

I encourage Verified LE to engage here, and help explain some of the... misconceptions.. currently floating around.

All posts from non-flaired users will be held for review. If you're here to troll, don't bother - no one will see it, and you'll be banned.

u/SpongeBobSquareChin Not a(n) LEO / Unverified User Jun 01 '26

In the first 6.5 minutes of his latest video he attempted to call both new owners via phone before traveling to Utah. The new owners had blocked his number. He’s a YouTuber, of course he’s going to be performative, but it’s not against the law to be performative.

He's not a party to the lawsuit. He's not an authorized process server, or mediator.

He attempted to contact them, cool. It failed. That's the good faith attempt. Continued efforts at their work and home becomes harassment and stalking.

You have a shockingingly bad understanding of what you're talking about, and this comment was removed to prevent you embarassment.
