Not if you save, quit out your apps and do do full shut down... but you're probably right.

The public in general and the press in particular have the right to videotape police officers

(5,279 posts)4. "Let's grab our filth and GO"....Is that what he said?
I listened 5 times and I believe that is what was said.
"Don't have time to ask questions"? All evidence points to the one being challenged by time to be the officer alone.
Seems a bit high strung to be in a position of authority to me. Perhaps he is angry for having to talk to the peasants.

(13,297 posts)11. I assume he was the other guy still leaving at the end of the clip
That guy didn't seem to be in a hurry as the rest of the place had cleared out.
I am assuming they documented their injuries so they can include that with their follow-up with the department. At least I hope so.

(429 posts)12. I was not aware.
I didn't know a police officer could come in a private business, and ask occupants to leave. If the restaurant called the police due to a crime, or if the police had witness a crime, that would seem understandable. This is disturbing.
