Back in September, PINAC correspondent Phillip Turner walked into the Arlington Police Department in Texas to file a complaint against a pair of officers who had harassed him for video recording them in public.
He ended up attacked and hospitalized for video recording inside the police station.
The Florida cop who handcuffed a man preaching the Bible on campus lied in his police report, which should earn him a special place in hell if you believe in that kind of stuff.
Back in August, PINAC reported about the arrest of two prominent police accountability activists in Austin, Texas, Antonio Buehler and Mike Bluehair, who were arrested for the crime of daring to film the police while doing their jobs.
A man who was preaching the Gospel on a Florida college campus was handcuffed and almost taken to jail, but was able to talk his way out of it after explaining to officers that he was not using a bullhorn but a voice amplifier to spread his message.
The University of South Florida police officer also threatened to arrest his friend for following them with a video camera.
Fortunately, other officers arrived on the scene who did not seem so hellbent on arresting the preacher or his friend.
To those of us that use critical thinking skills, it’s no secret that the corporate media lies. Mainstream media has, for years, been using their influence to sway elections, push products, and even help get murderers off. Well as long as those murderers are wearing badges, that is.
This “brainwash the masses” mindset has created a rift in society that has spawned a new type of media. These citizen journalists have emerged as an “alternate” media that has gained tons of credibility by reporting the real stories with videos to back up claims of abuses.
A California man who video recorded a TSA screener running her hands up and down his 10-year-old daughter’s body, placing special attention to the girl’s buttocks, breasts and inner thighs, and running her hands inside the girl’s dress, is accusing the TSA of going overboard during the intensive pat-down at a North Carolina airport last month.
But the Transportation Security Administration said they were only trying to keep everybody safe.
Back in September, an Alaska state trooper pulled over a newspaper reporter for the sole purpose of seizing his memory card from his camera.
The photographer, after all, had just taken photos of other troopers arresting a suspect in a shooting.
And that, apparently, was enough for Sergeant Michael Ingram to claim he needed the photos as “evidence.”
Standing on a public sidewalk on the side of the road, holding a sign warning drivers about an upcoming DUI police checkpoint, a Connecticut man was threatened with arrest Sunday, accused of “distracting the traffic.”
However, it was Hartford Police Sergeant Reggie Early who was blocking traffic with his patrol car as he threatened Michael Picard with arrest on a non-existent charge.
All because the 27-year-old man held a sign that said, “Cops ahead. Keep calm and remain silent.”
But at least he didn’t follow through on his threat.
A Hawaii man who was beaten by a cop on a beach for chanting next to a seal he believed to be injured filed a lawsuit last week.
The incident, which took place in 2014, was captured on video by witnesses who called the cops on the man, thinking he was harassing the seal.
But the man, Jamie Kalani Rice, said he was only trying to help the seal by sharing his mana or energy.
The video shows a Honolulu police officer named Ming Wang approaching Rice, exchanging some words and pulling out a baton to begin swinging it.
A man with no shame about his racist beliefs allowed himself to be recorded while he was insulting a group of activists in Pennsylvania, calling the black videographer a “chimp,” a “nigger” and making monkey sounds to further berate him.
Neither the videographer, Tom Jefferson, nor the other activists, allowed themselves to be sucked into a physical confrontation with the man, which seems to have been his goal.
