For the second time in less than a month, a video has surfaced showing an NYPD cop pointing a gun at a citizen for recording them making an arrest.
New York City Police Sergeant Diana Pichardo then snatched the phone from the man’s hands, yelling, “Give me that phone, motherfucker!,” while other cops entered and searched his apartment without a warrant.
But David Rivera – who installs security cameras for a living – had several surveillance video installed inside his apartment, capturing the warrantless invasion.

The New York man known as the Red Light Robin Hood pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Friday after being indicted on 17 felony counts of criminal mischief for cutting the wires to red light cameras where officials shortened yellow light-duration times from five to three seconds, giving drivers less time to stop, enabling Suffolk County to cite more drivers for running red lights.

A Southern California woman who prides herself on her community involvement was caught on video trying to steal a man’s drone before lying to police in claiming that it nearly killed her.
Lisa Manfredi apparently thought she was doing her good deed for the day when she picked up a remote controlled quadcopter that had crash landed in Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, then tucked it underneath her shirt as she walked away.
She also thought she was much slicker than she actually proved to be.

A video posted to Facebook this week shows New York City sanitation officers playing a dirty trick on  residents in order to generate revenue.
Digging through their trash.
And then citing anyone who wasn’t “recycling properly”.
The video begins with a man video-recording as he approaches a female officer who is digging through a trash bag.
“Ma’am, can you tell me why you’re taking out garbage from people’s houses in order to give tickets?”
He then turns to a male officer.

Less than 24 hours after Palm Beach State Attorney David Aronberg announced that criminal charges would be filed against the cop who shot and killed Corey Jones, deputies raided the home of a man accused of making online threats against the prosecutor under the guise of the cyberhack group Anonymous.

Three Bakersfield police officers were caught on video brutalizing a man with their batons and tasering him because he had jaywalked before running from officers in an apparent attempt to keep from being cited Monday evening.
“Stop resisting,” the California cops kept saying as they beat him.
“He’s not resisting,” said the man recording, who sent the footage to his local news station, preferring to remain anonymous.
But police told the media the man was resisting, an action apparently only visible to the trained eyes of police officers.

When it came down to it, the pay-for-play cop wannabe was treated nothing like a cop when it came to sentencing.
Instead of the usual probation or slap-on-the-wrist sentencing, Oklahoma reserve deputy Robert Bates was sentenced to four years in prison for shooting a man in the back while trying to taser him – the maximum allowed by law for the charge of second-degree manslaughter, according to News 9.

A video that is going viral on Facebook shows a man threatening two teens for skateboarding on a public street, which is not illegal in that area of Manchester, Vermont.
“Don’t you fucking open your mouth to me because I’ll take that fucking board and shove it up your ass, you little smart ass piece of shit,” yells the man, who has been identified as Larry Fogarazzo, who appears to be 63.

Video surfaced this Memorial Day weekend showing police officers wrapping their arms around the neck of a 71-year-old Vietnam veteran and tackling him to the ground before handcuffing him inside a Veterans Administration clinic in El Paso.
His crime: He allegedly walked through a metal detector without first showing identification while having something on (or in) him that set the alarm off.
However, Jose Oliva said he placed his identification into the bucket with the rest of his belongings that were in his pocket to be screened.

Florida cops arrested journalists for covering a Justice for Corey Jones rally in the public areas surrounding the Palm Beach County Courthouse last week.
In the new video originally published by the Daily Haze on Thursday, which you can see below, it shows that in addition to arresting the media, police forced protesters off of public property and refused to identify themselves too.
Some of the unlawfully arrested journalists wearing press passes were stoic.
Others can be seen openly weeping as police conducted their mass arrest.
