Skyrad 0 #5 July 7, 2011 LOL. What about the freedom to film? The cops stuck a gun in the guys face and allegedly smashed his phone and several other cameras. Why would they do that if they were acting within the law? Looked like excessive force.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

lost_n_confuzd 0 #6 July 7, 2011 From the OP's source: QuoteWhile visual evidence, through government surveillance cameras and individuals' phones, can help make prosecutions, police unions and likeminded groups argue that police officers might second-guess themselves if they know they are being recorded and delay making necessary decisions. Assuming I was a cop, I don't see how my ability to be decisive in a similar situation could be changed by finding out after the event that I was videotoped.

mr2mk1g 10 #8 July 7, 2011 Wow. Sticking a gun in the face of some guy who just happened to be there because he'd got a camera phone out?! Cops involved with that need the book thrown at them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #13 July 7, 2011 Interesting. The man with the camera ran from the police. They apparently had the area blocked off, had he while filming gone past the area they were trying to keep people away from for their own safety? Also there is a gap between 1:42 and 1:43. I wonder how much time elapsed between then and the video ended without showing the phone/camera being smashed. Agree that the "police officers might second-guess themselves if they know they are being recorded and delay making necessary decisions" is bullshit.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

There have been cameras on police cruisers for a long time. Being observed/recorded isn't new. They know this, and only a stupid cop (or one so caught up in the moment, that they forget who they are) will think that no one will know the actions they take. Add in the hope or assumption that there aren't additional cameras documenting every move makes me wonder. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millertime24 8 #15 July 8, 2011 I don't see why this vid got any attention at all. And "execution"? I dont buy that. With the phenomenal video quality and the spectacular commentary I just dont know why I cant figure out what actually happened (/sarc). As far as the dude with the camera, well he WAS pointing something at the cops (at night) after they were involved in an adrenaline charging incident. I would be damn leery of everyone too at that point. Another question, why the hell were the "bystanders" so close? If I see a gun drawn my first instinct is to find cover as fast as possible and evac if necessary. This just seems like another "lets "motherfucker" cops thread.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
