“Taking out the camera was the biggest tipoff.”
No, the thug reaction to the victim’s taking out his camera was the biggest tipoff. Cops who insist on the right to surveil everything we do have no business objecting to being photographed themselves. What might they be trying to hide?
You have no idea what you are talking about.
First of all, when a cop asks you to stop doing something, you stop it and say yes sir or thank you. That actually makes their very tough job easier rather than a great deal harder.
Secondly, people who start recording cops on their little camera talismans are looking to get the cops in trouble, preferably a career-breaker. These are vile people no better than the Occupy Wall Street rabble.
Come and live here for a while and observe what these men and women in blue are up against. There is a perp on every corner and a satanic tendency to disrupt order.
I’ll take law and order. You tell me what you would choose after living here.
