Is that officer STILL WORKING?
He should be immediately arrested~!!!!
It seems the UK is marching to a Totalitarian Police State as quickly as we are.
We're done. America is over.
This is why the wise Founders made certain that the Second Amendment was added to the Constitution or it would not have been adopted. And this is why police chiefs and police unions are against citizens being armed. Thank God for patriots who risk death to photograph the power-abusing thugs who are paid by the taxpayers of our counties and municipalities to “keep the peace.”
I get the impression it wasn’t just him, it was a conspiracy to eliminate any and all incriminating video evidence that likely originated with an order from the highest ranking officer at the scene. Shooting a violent suspect is one thing. seizing and destroying the private property of innocent citizens to cover your a55 is another.
The cop who pointed the gun at the guy with the camera should be in prison for a long time.
Do we need another amendment? The right to keep and bear cameras?
At the end of the video, the g/f of the guy who made the recording said she personally observed the police take and destroy others’ cell phones.
Not only are these cops thugs, they are STUPID thugs. Trying to avoid being recorded today is like covering the sun with your finger...

I am pretty sure that is an assault under color of authority.
Thank God there were no dogs roaming around.

pointing a gun at someone is a good way to get shot. I’m beginning to think it will take something like that to end these kind of police outrages and abuses
Camera phones and YouTube have been a game changer.
How long till the cop lovers come and make an excuse for this?
Of course, in many states filming cops is illegal.
The State does not like to be seen.
Ping to the Hitler Youth.
