Disgusting and illegal - Fans react to leaked bodycam footage of Ohio police arresting IShowSpeed
By Shreyan Mukherjee Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Fans react to IShowSpeed's arrest footage (Image via Sportskeeda) Exclusive bodycam videos of YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed's" interrogation were recorded by the Cincinnati Police Department, and have garnered quite a bit of fan reactions. For those unaware, the streamer was reportedly swatted on August 8, 2022. Although he managed to livestream a few moments of the entire fiasco, a YouTube channel called "Law&Crime Network" released the entire footage, which spans 15 minutes. The internet was taken by surprise at the impetuous nature of the entire arrest. Swatting is a recurring issue that is faced by many streamers. Social media reporter Jake Lucky was among the many Twitter users to share the clip.

Fans criticize police over stringent conduct of IShowSpeed s arrest
IShowSpeed was swatted last month after one of his viewers prank called the police under the guise of the streamer, falsely claiming that he had intentions of harming himself and his family (as revealed by one of the officers). The entire video also included different segments. In one of the early sections, IShowSpeed's cameraman was seen explaining the entire situation to the investigating officer. Naturally, many were not fully aware of the concept of "swatting." Considering that IShowSpeed is still a teenager, cops were criticized for handcuffing the a minor, especially without providing any context at the time. One of the officers urged the streamer's cameraman to stop recording as well. Jake Lucky@JakeSuckyMakes me feel god awful for saying this was a "supposed" swatting when I first covered it. Never again. Had to have been terrifying, I am sorry.362326Makes me feel god awful for saying this was a "supposed" swatting when I first covered it. Never again. Had to have been terrifying, I am sorry. In addition to getting restrained, IShowSpeed was also taken into the police car where they further continued their investigation. A separate camera in the car revealed the streamer attempting to explain his position.

A day prior to his supposed incarceration, Twitch streamer Adin Ross, who is a close associate of the former, was also swatted. Fans react to the entire drama
Fans were left in a state of confusion at the sight of the entire operation. Many suggested that the conduct was harsh considering the fact that Darren is underaged.
