COPWATCH

I had to watch this without sound, but holy shit! WTF was that cop doing? I just see him go grab his handcuffs, stroll off with his chest puffed out, then turn around and come back. Then he steps on the guy's head like he's squashing a god damn bug. Like how you twist your foot when it makes contact with the ground to really kill that shit.
Sidenote: smart phones and cameras need to have a feature that says "Turn your phone 90 degrees, dumbass!" when you record a video and hold the phone vertically. It's like watching video through a cracked open bedroom door.

Cop: We don't follow Constitution because Obama doesn't
UPDATE:
N.J. cop in Obama rant resigns after video goes viral
A New Jersey police officer's 36-year career in law enforcement came crashing down this week after he was caught on camera saying police do not have to follow the Constitution because President Obama doesn't either.
On Thursday, Richard Recine — who had retired from the Franklin, N.J., police force in 2006 and was working part time in the Borough of Helmetta's police department as a special police officer — submitted his resignation.

Evansville woman sues police department after SWAT officers raid her home
After confiscating their computers and a cellphone, it was later determined that someone remotely accessed the home’s wireless Internet connection and the Milans were not involved.
update:
City seeks favorable ruling in SWAT incident lawsuit; police video shows what happened
In a legal brief supporting the city’s motion for summary judgment filed Monday in U.S. District Court, city attorneys argued the force used to execute a search warrant at 616 E. Powell Ave. on June 21, 2012, was “objectively reasonable” and that officials are immune from liability.
The officers were looking for evidence of who had made anonymous Internet posts to the Topix.com message board threatening the Evansville Police Department and Chief Billy Bolin.
--------------------
Yet it is illegal for any citizens to take such action when someone threatens their people on a message board. Hmm... kindergarten

California Cops Seize Recordings Of Questionable Arrest, Claim They Have The 'Right' To Do So
Police in Northern California beat and tased a mentally ill man before siccing a dog on him, then turning on citizens who recorded the incident, confiscating cell phones and in one case, ordering a witness to delete his footage.
But one video survived anyway, slightly longer than two minutes, where a cop from the Antioch Police Department can be heard saying he wants cameras confiscated right before the video stops.

Judge affirms probationer has a right to tape police officer in her home
Judge: When police search a home, recording their actions is even more important.
In a statement of findings and recommendations filed last week, a US Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of California affirmed that a woman on searchable probation had the right to videotape three officers who came to her home to search it.
In February 2011, plaintiff Mary Crago was visited by three police officers, including defendant Officer Kenneth Leonard. Leonard was working on the Sacramento Police Department's Metal Theft Task Force, and he was tipped off that Crago may have been involved in a theft involving a vehicle battery. Since Crago was on searchable probation, the officers entered her home—the door was open—and they found Crago “sitting on a mattress, digging furiously through a purse.”
According to court documents, “Inside the purse, defendant found a four-inch glass pipe and a small baggie with white residue. The white residue subsequently tested positive for methamphetamine.” Crago did not resist the officers' search, but she allegedly told Leonard that she was recording the search on her laptop. Leonard then took her laptop and deleted her recording, telling her that recording was forbidden.
Crago then sued, saying her right to record the police in her home was protected by the First Amendment.
