This is the most chilling video I've seen in a while, (well, maybe perhaps since yesterday when I saw the video of an evil Seattle cop killing a harmless pedestrian wood carver holding a pocketknife). This video though, while thankfully it does not include murder, is a shocking film of an officer who goes absolutely berzerk at the sight of a man innocuously videotaping in public. The videographer, who identifies himself as a member of a Michigan government watchdog group, is immediately assaulted by a 'Michigan Conservation Officer'.
In the Michigan video, the cameraman is immediately assaulted by the officer who agressively walked up to him and maniacally sneered "turn that off'. The cameraman refuses to do so, and in the final few moments of the video, we see the culmination of the confrontation. The cameraman calls the local sherrif to file an assault complaint, but they took no action. All three should be arrested, fired, sued civilly, and have federal civil rights violations charges filed against them.
After watching this absolutely outrageous video, you may want to contact the The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment. Their contact information is here. The public should never tolerate being threatened and assaulted by public servants.
how dare the peons question the behavior of their masters".
this vid actually startled me the first time i watched it, lol. this black cop is crazy. he assaults the guy immediately and threatens to arrest the victim for assault, and for causing a disturbance, and several other things. the mild mannered cameraman stands his ground. i have seen many of these type videos, recorded many of them myself, but this one absolutely takes the cake.
I too am glad more people are learning of their rights to film, that's a great thing.
it's interesting though that so many people are actually assaulted, threatened with arrest, or actually arrested by cops for filming the cops. People ask me why that hasnt happened to me when I film cops. I actually believe it is because i truly KNOW, and am sure, that it is not illegal to film them, and I tell them that while filming them. if a person is unsure or wavering or scared of being arrested, they will be abused. I await gleefully the day some kook pig dares arrest me for filming something. that will be my PAYOLA jackpot and i look forward to it. So i think that is why they never do anything. it's sort of a confidence game.
