Full title: U.S. Marshal Shown Rushing Woman and Smashing Her Cellphone To Stop Her Videotaping A Public Arrest...We have another video of a police officer destroying the cellphone of a citizen who is filming an arrest in clear violation of her constitutional rights. New reports indicate that the officer holding an automatic weapon in the videotape below who is seen charging the woman and smashing her phone on the ground is a United States Marshal in California.
The video shows the woman standing out of the way while filming an arrest. She is actually backing up when an officer rushes her, smashes the phone on the ground and then kicks it before walking away. Unfortunately for the officer there was a second person filming and the woman asks “Did you record that?” She did.

You could be right about that - this may have been an attempted "suicide by cop" that was unsuccessful. Let's just hope that her husband, if she still has one, has "corrected" her, if you know what I mean.
That’s the gayest analysis ive ever read. I can say he did not see a threat because he was angry. I saw what he did with the phone and then walked away clearly showing he was only interested in stopping filming. If he thought is was a weapon and a threat, he did not aim and issue a challenge.
Last,, the other two officers about 5 feet away looked at her once or twice and ignored her completely.
That’s when the Fed who must be appeased strode over from much further away and smacked down the fed who was not respectful enough and showing enough fear.
He looked like a Nazi.
This guy’s got to be screwing around.
“Unsupervised women?”
“These officers were confronted by an unsupervised female (where was her husband?)”
Are you a foreigner? Do you realize how stupid you sound? She also had shoes, wonder who gave her THOSE?
“if she still has one, has “corrected” her, if you know what I mean.”
Now you advocate wife beating? Are you gay? Or just a foreigner? Or,,,, lightning bait?
I wish I could have seen his face when they told him a video was going viral on the world wide web showing him smashing the woman’s video phone.
I only allow my wife out of the house unsupervised when she has to mow the lawn.
;-)
. . . with small hand clippers.
I have a Samsung cell phone. What kind of videotape should I be using?
has a SINGLE cop been shot at with one of these. nearly mythical “ cell phone guns”? Admit it they just can’t stand the idea of US filming THEM for once ....
You should use digital 8. By my math, you should get two hours with a Galaxy S4.
I had the impression the woman was simply narrating as she was filming. The LEO nearest the woman wasn’t upset she was there, just the LEO further away who charged and assaulted the woman. I call bad move on the officers part. Assault and battery?
Now I see what you did back there.
Fire the marshal...or reprimand and warn not to do it again.
LMAO. Barefoot, I hope, and make sure she isn't carrying a camera.
Just watched the vid. The US marshal is dressed like he is working in Fallujah. This is policing, not war. yet.
Don’t film the cops,
You may catch em in some illegal act.
Thank you! I needed a good hard laugh today
with scissors!!!!!
Wow - what prehistoric era are you from? Saudi Arabia, maybe? Nobody "controls women" anymore than anyone controls anyone else. The lady recording the police activities was within her rights as an American citizen, as supported by all the latest court findings.
The LEO involved was in violation of law by taking and destroying her property.
It's nice to think that you believe that this sort of behavior is acceptable under our Constitution - makes you kind of miss the Nazis, doesn't it?
