Why are some many cops like cockroaches? They seem to hate the light of public scrutiny.

How about because they haven’t notified the next of kin and they don’t want this person’s family to find out he is dead by watching Youtube.

I think that would be any cop anywhere. I think they are all trained to tell any kind of reporters to go away even if they are legally doing so. There might be some good reasoning for that, like evidence contamination, but if it is a problem it might be a more fair criticism of higher brass and the gov

Anyway, they pulled the guy out of the tent so my guess is protester on protester violence. I feel sorry for the guy trying to block the camera. He looks like he was ready to cry. Politics aside, I feel sorry for him. I think if I had a friend who was shot, I wouldn't want reporters to see the body either.

It wasn’t a case of not wanting to be taped. The cop was doing what is required, moving people back to protect the crime scene. You can hear someone say “move him out of the scene.” But of course this is a chance for you to take the obligatory poke at the police.
