Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops

Posted by Soulskill on from the don't-shoot-or-we'll-shoot dept.

HungryHobo writes with this excerpt from a story at Pixiq: "Miami Beach police did their best to destroy a citizen video that shows them shooting a man to death in a hail of bullets on Memorial Day. First, police pointed their guns at the man who shot the video, according to a Miami Herald interview with the videographer. Then they ordered the man and his girlfriend out of the car and threw them down to the ground, yelling, 'you want to be f****** paparazzi?' Then they snatched the cell phone from his hand and slammed it to the ground before stomping on it. Then they placed the smashed phone in the videographer's back pocket as he was laying down on the ground."

    "Uncomfortable But Honestly-Held And Explained Opinions I Disagree With" != "Troll"

    Or is non-groupthink suppression & control part of that "Hope 'n Change"?

    As a licensed lefty, I restate, I have no sympathy of either.

    The road to hell is paved with moral equivalency.

    Perhaps so. but I don't see any rational way of assigning moral superiority to either the Palestinians or the Isrealis.

    First, one must be rational...

    Just sayin'
