“And there are people, with the pretention of filming with their cell phone, who would, when the cops are distracted because the person under arrest got antsy, pull out a gun and shoot some cops dead.”

You can’t arrest someone for crimes they MIGHT COMMIT.

You arrest people for crimes they DID COMMIT. See the difference? That’s an important concept to grasp. Let it sink in.

And this woman committed NO CRIME, so the cop falsely arrested an imprisoned (denied the liberty of) an innocent American citizen.

The woman is innocent. She did nothing wrong. The cop is the one who is at fault.

Is it sinking in yet?

Take all the time you need.

To: Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

I get what you’re saying, but apparently you don’t get what I’m saying. Cops have rights as well and one of those rights is the right to go home at the end of his shift.

Is the concept of a cop having the right to go home at the end of his shift pass by above your head?

I do understand that some Freepers don’t like the police and think that dead police is just the price they should pay for being a cop, I get that.

I just simply disagree.

I do think that people should be able to publicly film arrests, but the police have the right to take reasonable precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of those around them, because not everybody plays as nice as Freepers do and the cops don’t always know who will play nice and who will not.
