A West Palm Beach couple who filmed Monday morning’s deadly officer-involved shooting on South Beach has accused officers of intimidation, destroying evidence and twisting the facts in the chaos surrounding the Memorial Day shootings – a charge that police officials say they know nothing about.

Meanwhile, a South Carolina man charged with DUI in a second officer-involved shooting that morning says he is innocent.

On Thursday, The Miami Herald spoke to the couple that saw the end of the 4 a.m. police chase on Collins Avenue, then watched and filmed from just a few feet away as a dozen officers fired their guns repeatedly into Raymond Herisse’s blue Hyundai. They say the only reason they were able to show the video to a reporter is because they hid a memory card after police allegedly pointed guns at their heads, threw them to the ground and smashed the cell phone that took the video.

The three-minute video captured on Narces Benoit’s HTC EVO phone begins as officers crowd around the east side of Herisse’s car with guns drawn. Roughly 15 seconds into the video, officers open fire.

4. Brilliant
and resourceful, for Mr. Benoit to save this to his SIM, then hide it in his mouth.

10. He must have meant MicroSD.
Sim cards don't have the storage for that sort of thing.

5. Oh You Know The Cops Will Never go down. Maybe one or two scapegoats
Edited on Tue Jun-07-11 12:23 AM by dballance
The police will never be really punished for this. Maybe one or two will be offered up as a sacrifice but the department will never be punished or made to change. That's just not how it works. We all know that.

11. He shouldn't have said that to the media.
Willing to bet the cops will come after him for 'interfering with a police investigation' or some other trumped up bullshit.

6. This is why the piggies are trying to pass laws that make it illegal to film them
Edited on Tue Jun-07-11 12:42 AM by Downtown Hound
They can't stand it that for once in the entire history of the world, the public actually has a weapon that they can fight back against them with that doesn't carry the risk of lengthy jail time. In the past, you could physically fight back and end up in prison, or you could take your licks and move on. Oh, you could file a formal complaint. LOL. That always does a whole hell of a lot of good.

Although now, the game has changed, and the piggies don't like that. So they're doing all they can to change it back. Fight back against them, go to jail. That's the only way the piggies like it.

15. I am curious about the previous encounter with "The Law."
I'd bet that the victims "attack" on a LEO with his car, was blown WAY out of proportion. He probably fled in his car and (IMO) grazed the LEO's foot or something. SO they HAVE to kill this guy, to set an example to everyone else.

Yes, we live in a Totalitarian country.

WE must FIGHT (non-violently, I pray) and re-take our government.

I wonder if "Anonymous" can can help us to stop the propaganda from the MSM? That would free a lot of people.

If we had a real "peoples President" the Fairness Doctrine would have been re-written to cover all media and reinstated.

...regardless of facts presented. But I share in your hope.

27. that's pretty much the truth ...
wasn't there a recent case where the courts said that the police man's visual estimate of a speeder's mph was okay, despite the fact that he LIED ON THE TICKET to "give the speeder a break" (moving it from 80mph to 70mph) ...

12. WOW! We are getting closer and closer to a police state.
The actions of the police from beginning to end is downright scary!

Maybe they will think twice about their actions when they realize they are being filmed.

20. "the police were looking for additional suspects"
Yes. Little tiny suspects hiding it people's phones. Suspects for a crime that initiated several blocks away. Certainly there HAD to be an additional suspect waiting on that corner were the chase ended.

They're not even TRYING anymore.

32. We need to setup some type of system
where the video is sent over the network in real time to a remote server somewhere as it is being recorded, so regardless of what happens to the phone or camera the video is still saved.
