Viral Videos

Los Angeles Police Department detained and handcuffed a man for filming in public near LAPD’s Mission police station.
The citizen journalist tells the officers in the video you can see below on several occasions, that he is engaged in constitutionally protected activity.
Then, LAPD cops kept questioning him for recording video.
And spoke nothing of reasonable suspicion that Scott would commit a crime.
Because the police would be the only offenders in this video.

“I blew my leg off!” yelled the Georgia man after his 20th assault rifle round landed on target, blowing up an old lawnmower.
Absolutely, 100 percent do NOT try this at home.
Exercising your 2nd Amendment Constitutional rights should always take second place to valuing your own life and limb, but this foolhardy rifleman forgot that and is paying the price.
“Get an ambulance!” his two friends exclaimed in the video which is going viral below.

How many times will police trot out the “fear for their safety” mantra, before investigators disregard it as the “boiler plate” copaganda that it is?
Two Alameda County deputies used their batons to beat the ever lasting crap out of a suspect who fled their arrest from the Oakland area into San Francisco, as you can see in the video below.
Stanislov Petrov suffered 30 baton strikes.

WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO BELOW
Two California cops blew away a 40 year old mentally-ill suspect only eight seconds after getting out of their car, claiming the man reached for his waistband in the video below.
Police arrived on the scene after receiving calls about a man with a gun in the area.
But Freddy Centeno did not have a gun.
Just a black spray nozzle.

The video going viral of a New York City postal worker was arrested while on duty by NYPD after objecting to their driving in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn has just surfaced, as you can see below.
UPDATE: “Our agency is aware of the incident,” says Matt Modafferi of the United States Postal Service Office of the Inspector General, “We have an investigation that’s ongoing, at this point, that’s all that I can comment on.”

“He just crashed him just now,” said the witness off camera
“Jurnowski, are you alright,” asked an officer.
“Why are you asking if he’s alright, when he just crashed him?” asked another witness as five NYPD cops in uniform descended on the scene.
“We got it on tape!” yelled the witness as officers demanded that citizens recording the fallen dirt biker recorded the scene.

“You can’t have a camera?”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m being told,” said Mike aka “Clutch1st,” the motorcyclist pulled over by NYPD.
“Oh shit! I never heard of that,” replied the witness sitting in his air conditioning truck.
That’s because it was another NYPD cop on a fishing expedition, who had no reason to pull over the v-logger as he rode his motorcycle on New York’s city streets.

Florida sheriff’s deputies seized and won’t return the iPhone and camera they confiscated from PINAC reporter Jeff Gray, even though none of them contain relevant videos of his dubious arrest while protesting.
The videos were all transmitted to Bambuser’s web service live last week, so they failed in their attempt to keep the videos from being seen by the public.

PINAC reporter Phillip Turner helped police catch an active shooter at Austin’s SXSW festival while cop watching on the city’s famed Sixth Street Saturday night.
It made for a pair of unlikely allies; a cop watcher seeking to hold police accountable for random acts of wanton violence who wound up capturing a citizen shooting his gun in a crowded area while he recorded with his camera.
If it wasn’t for the assistance of Turner, the police likely wouldn’t have arrested the suspect at all because they didn’t even know what he looked like.

Texas resident Lawrence Faulkenberry spent ten nights in jail on charges that he assaulted a Caldwell County sheriff’s deputy before footage from his home surveillance video camera proved he was the one attacked by deputies.
Now Fauklenberry is suing the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office.
However, if it wasn’t for his video camera, he would probably be sitting in prison today for the January 2015 arrest.
