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.
It is impossible to proceed further with this insult until we know the exact
number of feet that comprise the "personal space" of an obese,
affirmative action, park ranger.
lol. i thought this was the most incredible cop filming vid i have ever seen. the cameraman literally has a money tree coming to him for the taking, if he wants it. people need to know how to follow up on these things.
I can actually understand how a cop would be taken aback & annoyed at some stranger filming them. But they have to learn to get over it.
You know, I'm noticing a trend with these vids. It isn't true all the time, but it's a trend nevertheless. At one time, there wasn't but one police department in a town, city, municipality, etc. Now, god only knows how many individual police departments exist in America. The subject of this vid is unqualified to interact with the public on any level, never mind a level where at least a rudimentary understanding of the Constitution is required. Oafs like him would never (in my day) have ever been a candidate for the NYPD. The few odd balls that got in under the wire were usually booted off quickly. And BTW, we were filmed *all* the time in NYC. Hell, tourists loved it when we posed in pictures with their families and friends when we were in uniform. IT WAS CALLED PUBLIC RELATIONS AND IT WAS FUN! God this numb skull is a disgrace to whatever uniform and department he belongs to.
The change is uniforms from light blue to Blackwater, is most telling.
It reflects their totally changed attitude toward the citizens they are supposed to be serving.
Yes, the black uniforms are intended to intimidate and it reflects in the attitudes of cops.
I recall a couple of years ago a cop rousting out one of the local "gangstas". What I found most interesting, while I was glad to see the "gangsta" driven away from the vicinity of my Bus Stop, was the cop's attitude and manner of speech - it reminded me of a Marine D.I. addressing a boot with almost uncontrolled rage.
