So, now that the whole video is out, have you learned anything about making judgments from edited youtube snippets?
Remember, youtube agitators (many affiliated with libertine organizations like occupy wallstreet and copblock) have an agenda, and they will deliberately edit to push an agenda.
Contrary to what people think, videos do lie, and the camera does not always tell the whole story.
Sorry, but the full video is not as clear-cut as you and your Chief would like us to believe.
First, the search was conducted on the extreme left side of the screen. Second, the suspect's jacket blocked most of the view of the search. Third, the cop's left hand was not visible when he placed it inside the pocket, but was when he pulled it out.
I say the cop palmed the evidence going in and exposed it coming out.

And, of course, police officers and their unions don't have an agenda.
Contrary to what people think, videos do lie, and the camera does not always tell the whole story.
Which is why the cops have dashboard cameras in their cars, but arrest people who videotape the cops and charge them with wiretapping?
When Officer Friendly pulls someone over he approaches the car as if every occupant is a hardened cop-killer.
Why should we trust them any more than they trust us?
Video’s don’t lie, they simply show what happened and its up to people to interpret.
People lie, and that includes cops and people who aren’t cops.
