Is it not true anyone reading Wilsons report would assume the resident had his camera right in Wilsons face?
I noted you evaded the question. Is this not true?
I have issues with the “failure to comply” laws myself, but that’s an issue with the law, and not with the cops who follow it.
I didn’t evade the question; I hadn’t read it yet.
And, no, since that was not my assumption when I read it, I’d have to say it is not true that “anyone” reading the report would assume the resident had the camera right in Wilson’s face. The fact that you read it that way proves that you read it that way, not that everyone does.
Isn't that a normal question? What am I being charged with?
Your spin is speeding up the rotation of the planet...Please stop before we all fly off.
Everyone the streets everywhere has cell cameras. Been this way for many years. Are you suggesting cops do not know what the law is regarding something so common?
Wiretapping laws?
Come on...
They don’t get to make up the law though.

Then that makes you an extremely disingenuous individual.
Ridiculous attempt at character assassination that has no bearing on the shooting in question.
This is up there with Zimmerman being suspicious of St. Trayvon (PBUH) b/c he was black. Completely irrelevant to the shooting and the immediate events that led to it.
You suggesting this does not infer or suggest the camera was right in Wilson's face is laughable at best.
Come on now.
I know, I know! Ending a sentence with a preposition.
Bump for later.
Personally, I think cops wearing cameras is a great idea, but I know a lot of cops are opposed to it, and some of them further believe that people don’t have the right to videotape them. Only place I ever ran across an explanation for that belief was here:
http://research.lawyers.com/ignorance-of-the-law-may-be-an-excuse.html
If you know a better explanation, pass it on!
Don’t know what you’re talking about. I never mentioned anything about that issue.
Yet cops get extra credibility when testifying in court.
I see, so they are able to claim ignorance of the law, but that don't fly for anyone else.
Got it.
I suppose my beef here is that's the cop's “lie” (if that's what it was) violated Arman's 1st Amendment rights. The Bill of Rights...that's a big deal.
By the way, back in 2012 the US Supreme Court determined that it is not illegal to videotape cops when they are performing their official duties. Any cop that still does not know that is, for the lack of a better word, incompetent.
However, I Googled and found that the video has now been posted several times on YouTube.
Askywhy5times provided one link. Here's another YouTube link to the video.
Frequently, if a video on a website doesn't work for you, you may find the same video on YouTube with an internet search engine.

I would say it merely makes me someone who does not jump to the same assumptions you do.
No one buys that. It's BS...No sale.
Call me crazy, but I have watch & listened to the snippet over & over. I am not sure he said “lock your ass up.”
Not sure exactly what it is he said. Something along the lines of “If you keep taking pictures (and then something about the grass).” When he says what I hear as grass, his head turns and he looks at the grass.
Might be my brain filling in for what I see, rather than what I cannot make out. Who knows? I’d like to see the entire video.
Wilson, with his hands in his pockets, does not look very threatening to me. He does not look angry either. More like “what a pain in the ass.”
Regardless, he does not look like the monster who shot a gentle giant of a teen in the back while said gentle giant’s hands are raised as the race whores have falsely claimed.
