YouTuber Beau “Flex Your Freedoms” Bish (Flex) returned to live streaming Friday night with a four-and-a-half-hour livestream addressing his recent release from the Black Hawk County jail in Iowa.
Flex claimed that his ten-day detention was really an opportunity for him to go on a covert information gathering mission in order to sue the jail, the city of Waterloo, Black Hawk County and the state of Iowa for various purported crimes against him, including withhold his migraine medicine for half of his stay in jail.
The YouTuber had been incarcerated for 10 days in the Black Hawk County jail after being arrested in 2022 for interfering in an official act. Jail policy denied Flex the prescription medication he had brought with him in a plastic shopping bag until his prescriptions could be verified and for the veteran’s administration to issue new medication.
YouTuber Billy Buttcrack from the Butt Crack News Network attempted to protest on Flex’s behalf during his incarceration to force the jail to give Flex his medication and to enable his commissary and phone privileges. By the time Buttcrack held a rally of 14 protestors on April 1 outside of the jail and later at a Waterloo City Council meeting, Flex had his privileges enable and access to his medications.
Flex promised he would be suing multiple state and city agencies and claimed that he obtained proof of wrongdoing by jail officials by reading the Black Hawk jail’s prison handbook and comparing the listed procedures with what he observed happening within the jail and finding discrepancies.
He later would claim that an inmate who had been in “the hole” for almost all of his time in prison later told him of information that would be used against correction officers, the jail, and the city council in his promised lawsuits.
Despite his claims at the start of the broadcast, Flex was freed from jail on Thursday, April 4, 2024.
