1. Could you give us some context here?

Not everyone can run video for assorted reasons, so a little exposition would be helpful.

3. Not much info

All I can post is "Baltimore police harass college student filming arrest…tells him “you have no freedom of speech”!

2. curious at to what was going on--rather out of context but on surface-----------damn

[damnedifIknow]

4. Love to know

filming him could possibly be diverting his attention?

5. Why do I constantly hear

that we have a shortage of police in this country ?????

The police no longer show up in a single squad car.

They now show up in a fleet of squad cars for the tiniest infractions.

Is there a law stating that we have to respect the police ???

I have zero respect for bullies and the police continue to act like bullies.

Protect and Serve should be removed from the squad cars.

They are there to harass, demean, intimidate, brutalize and kill.

They over react in almost every situation.

When did it become standard procedure to slam suspects to the ground and multiple officers to pile on top of the suspect ?

You rarely see anyone arrested standing up.

They are now the largest armed gang in the U.S.

They do not care about your rights or my rights.

6. I've had two police cars and a mounted patrolman

Roll up on me when I was twisting balloons because a security guard for the area I was in called them because essentially I wasn't showing him proper respect.

8. He needs to take that video up the chain of command

Maybe get that POS fired for his gestapo shit.

[NobodyHere]

9. Yeah right

The chain of command probably masturbates to videos like this.

10. Then take it to city council

That shit is unacceptable for public employees.
