Yes I did, but you didn't address the extenuating circumstances I noted. If you have a CO2 leak in your home but you don't want to leave, can a fireman or cop force you out of your own home? Of course.

If you're standing on a crime scene and cops are fighting with a suspect can you be moved fomr the area for your safety? And if you turn into a little punk with an iPhone and won't leave, then it's on you. Now the cops have to deal with wide-eyed (propbably drunk) gawkers who want a cool video while the other cops are rolling around with the suspect.

Again, I'm not defending the cops words and tactics. I'm saying he had a duty to do what he did. He just did it in the absolute wrong way.

Do you heat your home with CO2?

Huh?

If I have a CO2 leak NOBODY is going to force Me out of MY HOUSE because that means the Beer Keg is losing pressure and I'm finding that leak ASAP!

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

TN Constitution:

Article 1, Section 2.
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

thefactor said: "I'm saying he had a duty to do what he did. "

And yet hasn't the Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement have no duty to protect any individual?

What about the cop's duty to observe the rights of bystanders? Don't those count?

There certainly is such a think as interfering with a police officer performing his "duties", however this isn't one of them and thus the mention of such is irrelevant. The man recording the police should have been left alone.
