Sunday, November 23, 2008 8:11:43 AM Just because he doesn't want the man filming doesn't mean anything. That man had the right to be filming, and he wasn't breaking any laws. That cop just decided because he's wearing a badge, he's bigger than everyone else and you obey his orders or else.There are some really good cops out there that could be called heroes and the type of people that you look up to, but now you see more and more cops abusing power. |

Sunday, November 23, 2008 7:47:55 AM That's the problem with cops these days - they seem to think that their job gives them the right to break the law. They seem to think they have the right to take others rights away from them on a whim. And the biggest problem is they think that their job is to make it seem like people are breaking the law. No, their job is to ENFORCE the law. Just like cops who need tickets at the end of the month, so they check the tags of everyone around them because no one is speeding. Instead of being content that everyone is following the law, they want to find something wrong with it.

Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:55:40 AM I am usually the very first to call someone an idiot for claiming "police brutality". However, in this case I side with the cameraman. He was not breaking any laws, he was on public property, and that cop had an attitude problem. Those kind of police are dangerous and need to be fired immediately upon discovery. There should be ZERO tolerance for police who break any law whatsoever. For instance... all the cops that don't use blinkers or speed all the time. Yet, they'll pull you over in a heartbeat and give you a ticket for the same thing. |

> 1. When the cop tells you to put the camera away, you do it. Being a reporter doesnt make you above the law.What are you thinking?? There is no obligation (legal or moral) to obey the police unconditionally. The whole point of the Constitution is to delineate what the state *cannot* do. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of the press are *so* important that they are mentioned first in the Constitution before all other rights. |

Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:03:32 AM Oh CrackrJak, your my age and thought you'd have some intelligence, uh not obviously. A "Black" woman said he didn't do anything wrong, and the "Black" community leader oped for his release. Hello.."freedom of the press" on PUBLIC street locations!! This is a cop who's badge gives him a hard on!! It's for reasons such as this that video is a necessity on the streets and on patrol cars, to PROVE power hungry "bad cops" and "bad people", so the rest of us mostly normal people can function in this insane world... COP was wrong, and I smell a nice fat $$ettlement!!! That camera was worth more then 1/3 of that officer's yearly pay!!!!! |

Sunday, November 23, 2008 4:56:07 AM BigWaFu:"1. When the cop tells you to put the camera away, you do it. Being a reporter doesnt make you above the law."Being a Cop doesn't make you above the law any less. "2. If you do not comply, guess what, you can be arrested for disobeying an officer." Officers can't do poo if you aren't doing anything illegal in the first place. As far as WE know, the cops being an over zealous prick.

Sunday, November 23, 2008 4:05:37 AM Again, I bet we aren't getting the full story here. What happened before ? Did this cameraman keep returning after the cop told him to leave repeatedly ? Did the cameraman say something racist ? We may never know. |
