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.

What is it the government always told us?

Oh yeah. Why worry about video cameras in public places if you have nothing to hide?

That’s pretty much the only reason that, unless they’re under cover, they would oppose having their actions recorded.

“Planning on doing something illegal, officer?”

In my private little community,
A guy either killed himself of his wife did him in,
But the entire swat team two mobile command units, the county Sheriff along with his 10 butt kissers.
They asked me not to film them as they didn’t want their names to come out or be recognized.
Happens all the time they said.

How can you say such a thing? These officers were confronted by an unsupervised female (where was her husband?)...

LOL!! You had me up to that point.

That’s the gayest analysis ive ever read.

No, it's not.

Post #21 is even gayer...

Assault and battery?

All day long.

Plus, he was armed with a firearm. Any prosecutor going after a peasant for exactly the same attack would be able to lard AT LEAST 6-10 serious charges on.

Just watched the vid. The US marshal is dressed like he is working in Fallujah. This is policing, not war. yet.

Hard to tell where the lard leaves off and the "tactical pretend sojer Kevlar vest" begins on that water buffalo...

I was reading & replying sequentially, so I got hooked by the first few.

#21 was over the top, but you still see it if he was a Muzzie (you know, like our president).

There was no "Allah Akbar!, though...

Wouldn’t it have been nice if the 2 police officers who saw this all go down, had walked over to Frankie Fascist cop and put the cuffs on him right there on the spot and arrested him for the felonies he just committed in their presence? Yeah I have my hopes of winning the lottery too.

That would never happen in NYS, all our law enforcement are sitting in cars on the highway uturn areas shooting radar to get $$$ to pay the fat retirements.

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 ....

Nope.
Remember that incident in the Costco parking-lot a couple of years back? And how the surveillance video disappeared?

I think Tau was admirably subtle. The thing about the cell phone shaped guns in first post caught my attention - the subsequent posts made it clearer (to me).

Hey, I could be mistaking stupidity for irony for all I know...stranger things have happened...;-)

And if I want to “film” with my cell phone, what film can I use, now that they’ve stopped making Kodachrome?
