We don't know what SHE said to the Police BEFORE she started taping. It wasn't "Have a nice day" or the police wouldn't have said, "Your comment concerns me and I'm not comfortable having you stand behind me".
She was looking for trouble. And found it!
Fixed that for you. It is only from the implication made by the cop that we infer she said anything.
The other explanation is that cop is trying to contaminate the evidence.
B.S. I looked at the entire tape. It is my belief the cop blatantly lied. There is NO proof this lady was involved with other incidents.
The arrogant attitude of that POS cop was one of an overlord. That arrogant, sadistic, lying cop was clearly abusing a citizen. That arrogant cop should be sued and fired.
LEO is quickly becoming sadistic in its treatment of citizens. The time will come when there will be real blow back. I will boldly be on the side of the citizens.
There is absolutely NO excuse for LEO to be disrespectful to the public.
I viewed the video that is posted on YouTube, and I find it confirms the woman’s story, and not the police officer’s claims.
None of us, you included, know what she said before rolling tape, but your conclusion about that fact is a non sequitur.
Quite possibly, she had said absolutely nothing before switching on the recorder, but the "clever" policeman thought that it would make a good "sound bite" to say that anyway!
Regards,
It doesn’t matter what she said.
The First Amendment trumps poor widdle poweece feewings that might get hurt or challenges to what some thug with a badge thinks is his authority.
Cops who do this need to be fired and they, their departments and cities successfully sued. Then maybe this would stop and these JBTs would think twice before harassing the citizenry.
“She was looking for trouble.”
I saw the woman on CNN over the weekend.
She says that she started filming because she was concerned about racial profiling from LEO’s in Rochester.
I hate to stereotype - but the words coming out of this woman’s mouth sounded like what you’d here from a white inner-city liberal.
