(34,582 posts)I would go to the local TV station first. Trust cops who just beat a man to death? Never.

(6,045 posts)Then you should do your best to film it & if at all possible call 911...That way there is a record which would go nice with any other evidence like video you may have.

(6,891 posts)that might not be a bad move, sort of like an insurance policy. If she had an iphone, I think she could have send the video somewhere. The cops would know that. 911 calls are public records. Doctoring one would be risky, especially after the cat's out of the bag. What the sheriff's office will probably do is have an investigation that determines they did nothing wrong, then let the courts work it out, knowing they'll probably win.
I just read that the cops confiscated the phone. I wonder if they had a warrant? I hope the entire video clip was sent to the news or to a safe location first.

(11,064 posts)We had stopped by Taco Bell to get something to eat, and we were eating and at about 3 a.m. two detectives showed up, barged in without my permission and demanded to see my boyfriend for his phone, Melissa said.
"In that video, Melissa said Friday, it is very clear that the deputies were beating Silva. At one point, she recalled, the deputies had Silva hogtied and they lifted him and dropped him twice and asked if he was still with them.
"She said she and her boyfriend were essentially kept captive inside their own home until they released their phones.
