ANYONE else would be charged with assault for these actions.
I think the camera operator needs to be in prison. As soon as the cops started getting rough, the camera zooms out and goes to traffic. Nothing to see here folks.
With video and no action taken
Looks pretty bad, especially on the second guy. But without sound it’s tough to have a better idea of what was really going on. I’d like to hear the cop’s explanation of why he reacted like that. Not that he’s not a brute, but I’d just like to have all the evidence I can before jumping to a conclusion.
Badge-lappers on deck in 3... 2... 1...
The cop is a punk and should lose his job but, c’mon, the kid’s a punk, too. He looked like he was going bananas on the phone. The kid was being a smartass. It certainly doesn’t make what the cop did right. The cops should not only be fired but maybe even get charged criminally. Still, it was kinda nice to see the kid stop stop being a smartass - real fast.
Another cop lying on an official report and then being busted by the video.
A lot of cops are torturers
Yeah, right. That's why they let him just sit there talking on his phone, completely ignoring him, until it appears that he gets a little too loud with his 1st Amendment rights. If he had really pushed a cop, we all know the retaliatory beatdown by a mob of cops would have been immediate.
Am I the only one in the world who believes the police force, like unions, are growing too big to be productive anymore and are becoming a threat to our way of life? Am I fully justified in any situation to defend myself regardless of badge?
My theory and I stand by it is the only reason an officer of the law has power is because I choose to accept it and the officer has a gun. What happens the day I ignore it and even the playing flied ? Would I be wrong ? Why so many trust random men and women with power like this is beyond me. You wouldn’t let just anybody in your house with a weapon on them would you ?
JBT and the camera operator was colluding to cover up evidence.
