Police abuse their authority all the time. And I don’t know what the WaPo is doing reporting this, what their angle is, but, really?
I don’t think San Antonio has a bad rep for this - out of control police business.
This guy is wandering around a very swanky hotel district taking pictures of s building.
Maybe the cops were ridiculous and brutal and way out of order.
But... this guy’s wife is a doctor and he doesn’t know enough post 9 11 not to go around taking pix of buildings.
It’s something we’re trained to not do. wanted to take photos of some visiting airplanes once on base and hub came tearing over, ‘no, don’t do that, the SPs will be all over us’.
I don’t know.
An McManus isn’t known for being a jerk as far as I know
Well, I don’t know about this. Plus, could we give SA a break, the overrun border is right there.
I mean, everyone believes this guy right off?
If his story is true, and it could be, it happens, but, he’s taken at his word right off?
Because, Mr. Balko is a author of note who covers the police state and the death of civil liberties.
So we can’t take pictures of buildings????
It’s something we’re trained to not do.
Wow.
You can take photos of buildings post 9/11. Of course there could be some buildings in some areas that could attract more attention but that shouldn’t be a factor in this case.
Assuming this all true and there’s no reason to believe it isn’t the cops were 100% out of line.
I guess everyone needs training on how to lay spread eagle
on the ground while you are getting the crap beat out of you.
“But... this guy’s wife is a doctor and he doesn’t know enough post 9 11 not to go around taking pix of buildings.”
Since when are we not allowed to take pictures of buildings? 911? Give me a break. If it is in public, I can photograph it.
I didn’t see a sarcasm tag, so I have to ask:
Are you high?

It was 2:30 in the afternoon. What’s the charge? Operating a camera while being latino? What do you think Real Estate people do all day long? Take pictures of buildings.
You are high, right? You macking on some Doritos and pullin’ on some big old blunt full of Mendocino Red?
Do you slosh when you walk?
McManus is a jerk. Former police chief of Minneapolis, MN.
So post 911 citizen's are not allowed to take pictures of buildings they own?
The mind boggles....
It’s something we’re trained to not do.
It was HIS building, that he was turning into a clinic for his doctor wife.
So we can’t take pictures of our own damn property now? WTF is wrong with you?
Wow.
That's not sarcasm is it?
The commies used to be nice enough to put signs on buildings you shouldn’t take a picture of. Perhaps your buddy mcmAnus should do the same. Or better yet find a commie country to move to with his defenders like you.
