Footage has emerged of Darren Wilson - the police officer who killed Michael Brown - threatening to arrest a man for filming him.
The video shows Wilson approaching a resident in Ferguson, Missouri, and demanding that he put away his camera. [snip]
The arrest was filmed in 2013, but was only posted online this week. It shows Wilson telling Mike Arman, a 30-year-old Ferguson resident, to put away his phone or be arrested.
Wilson, thinking he is being photographed rather than filmed, said: 'If you wanna take a picture of me one more time, I’m gonna lock your ass up.'
In response, Arman, identified by the Guardian, said: 'Sir, I’m not taking a picture, I’m recording this incident, sir.'
The clip cuts out after Wilson approaches, but an incident report which Wilson filled out after the event revealed that Arman was cuffed and taken to Ferguson police station.
There he was charged with failure to comply with Wilson, and also for breaching regulations on pit bull dogs. The charges were later dropped, Arman claims, when he showed police the video footage and proved his pet was not a pit bull.
The incident offers another insight into Wilson, whose behavior during the fatal confrontation with Brown is under intense scrutiny.

There's virtually nothing to the video. Unless I'm deaf, I never hear Officer Wilson say 'If you wanna take a picture of me one more time, I’m gonna lock your ass up.' If said, it was said before the edited video starts.
The video doesn't show the arrest; allegedly, it's in an incident report.
If true, it tells me that Officer Wilson was a 'don't you photograph me' LEO, but to me it doesn't offer 'another [meaningful] insight into Wilson, whose behavior behavior during the fatal confrontation with Brown is under intense scrutiny." (Somebody left out 'unarmed.')
Full title of article: "'I'm gonna lock your ass up': Footage emerges of Ferguson cop who killed Michael Brown arresting a man in 2013 for recording him on his phone."
It took awhile for the DOJ to unearth that video.. Lots of hours of scanning computers by the FBI.
Sharpton and his crowd will read into it anything they want and the result will be more rioting and destruction by outside activists.
Or lots of Doctoring
So he took him legally into custody and did not get a broken eye socket and have to shoot this guy?
What is the relevance?
A controversial subject but hardly grounds for murder.
I like the officer even more now :)
Entire video of Michael Brown shoplifting and assaulting store owner
What were the unhappy peeps in Ferguson protesting in 2013?
The Gentle Giants was still walking this earth, smoking dope and threatening shop clerks
That doesn't make them all cold-blooded killers.
In the words of the GEICO commercials, everyone knows that.
But that ain't gonna stop those who push the race button for their own political gain.
So what?
Yeah, for heavens sake, don’t leave out “unarmed” .. or that he was a “black teenager”. But, his size and height, would have made him appear adult in the dim lights of the night.
My favorite is, “... shot dead”.
I just hope Wilson is willing to move to another location and change his name. Otherwise, these activists will hound him day and night. Not a good way to have to live .. just to do your job. Plus, your family will always be in danger if you stay there.
This doesn’t tell a person anything. This has nothing to do with the Mike Brown incident at all.
I see it as irrelevant to the facts.
We are told we are not supposed to assume that Gentle Giant was a bad boy and a petty thief based on the video of the strongarm robbery, so I guess we are supposed to assume that Wilson is bad based on this footage. Right?
My favorite is, “... shot dead”.
As opposed to “...shot ouchy?”
Shooting someone does not always result in death. More people get wounded than killed.
It just made me laugh.

You could always shoot them “undead.”
Pilots wear them.
I would like to hear someone ask, "What are you going to charge me with?"
