“The first rule of crowd control police work is ‘get the guy with the video camera’! Self protection, you know.”

YES!!

AT LAST, somebody who gets it.

I appreciate your courage and honesty in pointing that police consistently and deliberately abuse their powers in order to suppress anyone acquiring video tape of their conduct, particularly in these sorts of situations.

That’s why we need to particularly vigilant about policing the police, particularly when it comes to their treatment of journalists covering a story.

You fail to mention, however, that only the heavily edited versions of such tapes ever appear on the MSM, in keeping with their prevailing anti-law enforcement agenda.

They don't show the attacks on the cops, just the response.
