Nov 2014

I was watching this on live stream as it was happening in August. It was scary as hell. The cop was walking through the crowd with his gun raised and pointing it at everyone as he walked along. The people streaming noticed what was happening and put their hands up and announced that their hands were up. The cop walks toward them and says, "You need to get back. I'll fuckin' kill you! Get back! Get back!" The streamer and others in the crowd are shocked. They ask for his name. He says, "Go fuck yourself."

I'm sincerely amazed that you've chosen to be an apologist for this asshole scary, dangerous cop. He was shut down by the other cops and ultimately placed on leave. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/20/ray-albers-ferguson-protesters_n_5696715.html

It's this exact kind of cop that has the potential to get people killed in the weeks ahead.

I don't buy it. Just because a citizen takes out a camera and starts recording does not ChisolmTrailDem Nov 2014 #4

But that recording can often be used in journalism. Savannahmann Nov 2014 #6

Go back a listen to the livestreamer's remakes ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #51

I assume you made a typo and meant 'remarks' (and not 'remakes'). That said, KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #63

Yes, that was a typo ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #65
