Remember the MO kid who was harrased by a cop (who was then fired)?

Well, he's now being targeted by other cops. It's amazing how brazen they're being with their public threats.

1. Actually, the threats were made before the taped incident

Apparently this kid has had problems with the police before and this was why he had a camera in his car. He was involved in a case where he alleged police misconduct that went to court, but he lost. Many cops were already familiar with his name because of that case, and some threats were posted on a message board frequented by cops. Of course the cops are now denying that those threats were made by cops, saying that anybody could have posted them. Yeah, whatever.

What pisses me off is that this kid was actually driven to the point of feeling like he needed a camera in his car to protect himself from the people that are supposed to be protecting him.

3. Where did you get that info?

I had read that this guy was fishing for harassment, but didn't find much supporting evidence.

Whether he was or not, the video indicates he did nothing more than question what he was being accused of.

I read an article that said one of the grounds for firing the cop was that he'd turned off his own camera and microphone. That implies he intended to be abusive before he ever approached the guy.

It's actually in a link in the OP's story.

2. Sounds like he needs to run for Police Chief

After he wins he can then fire all the officers

4. I got so pissed off after watching that video

That I did some searching on Google. Apparently the officer in this video was fired also.
