I don't see it that way at all. As a fireman, can I run into your house and physically remove you from it? Cops have the ability to make you move away from a location in certain circumstances.

I would have said something like, "Sure you can film! Just do it while you're walking away from this area, which is now a crime scene. Or did you want to be taken to the station house to be interviewed over then next several hours about what you saw here and your phone taken as evidence?"

The public wants all the bad guys off the streets and all the crimes solved. But they don't realize it's not an episode of Law & Order and bystanders get hurt all the time.

Again, let me say, this cop is an idiot. Don't accuse me of defending him.
