So be sure your in your guidelines if you want to intimidate me because my lawyer and I will not hesitate to throw a civil suit on your ass or asses because I know your the weakest gang in the world. Civil suits also pay very well. LOL. You operate in numbers just like a gang. You intimidate and bully. Then you fabricate bullshit charges up and tell it to the media. The difference between me and you is that I have VIDEO PROOF. THE MEDIA LOVES THAT SHIT. I don't care who you work for I will have your ass if your wrong and it's on tape. So remember that you work for us. Live your life right. You are a public servant. No matter what branch you work for, you are a public servant. You are NOT GOD. Treat people with respect and understanding and you might get it, but remember we pay your salary and we also watch and report you. Hmmm thats a good one. WE REPORT YOU. So if you don't want to be that guy and don't want to be in the hotspot like these officers of the law then know when to use force and when to not use force. This man did nothing but take pictures for GOD'S SAKE. A picture REALLY. Come on is that justice. Beat his ass and charge him with trumped up charges for taking pictures. SHAME ON YOU ALL. SHAME ON YOU. If any of your mothers are still alive and know what you did, may they beat the hell out of you at the least. I rest my case and pray for a better world where the police don't terrorize people and intimidate. I know a few good officers and have known a many dirty. Its a matter of trial and error. So if your a PUBLIC SERVANT and are reading this please realize what your job is and realize who you are and what you want your community to see you as. I could never be a cop or anything like that because I never know when I would be in the right or the wrong. That job has to many confusions and takes a hell of alot of years of experience to know when your right and wrong and I feel it should be passed down through the years or taught very strictly, but it isn't. I am just one man and this is my opinion. I know that some crazy government person will read this and come after me. Maybe or Maybe NOT. I am just speaking my opinion. I have that god given right. I feel the that what I have said is honest from my life experiences. So like I said if you find out who I am and want to mess with me you better expect cameras. I will report you to many important people and probably have your job if your wrong. I am a good man and expect the people who enforce the law to be that too. Thank you for your time. I appreciate everybody reading my post and be good people. That is the only thing you should be is the best you can be. What Would Jesus Do? Thats a good question.

They defend police beating the shit out of a man that takes pictures of them and then charges him with bullshit. President Obama and my local Mayor would have a fucking ball with clown ass officers like this. They all deserve suspension and investigation. I myself have been a victim of bullshit police brutality and have stood up to it. The police back down when you have the public and state officials on your side. All I can say for all of the anonymous pigs out there is that you better watch your asses because people like me have cameras on our houses, cars, and phones. We watch everything and report everything and the media loves that shit. We will have your fucking job. You will end up working at McDonalds and your life will be meaningless. I am just one man. But as a people we are strong. Everybody buy a camera for your house record what goes on around it. If the police that are supposed to serve you abuse you for bullshit report it and get names that is what internal affairs is for. They are the police of the police. Report it to your local mayor and if that doesn't work go to your senator, and if that doesn't work go to the president. President Obama is the greatest president ever. He is a great man. He listens to the people. We are the people and we do have the power. SHOW IT. Some of these anonymous comments have to be police.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearsay_in_United_States_law

Read, in particular, the section on “Misconceptions.”

Passing judgement on the cops, or the photographer, without knowing all the facts is simply irresponsible. It also goes against the very nature of the Constitution which some of you have been inaccurately spouting your own personal versions of.

Until you know what really happened, from both sides (and even better from independent witnesses), then what I’ve read here is nothing but wild specuation.
