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

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.

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.

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.
