That cop was out of line, imo. That said, there's an app created for just such situations called "MobileJustice" that automatically sends the video to the ACLU. But it also locates other MobileJustice app users in the area so they can record the police actions, too.

Interesting that the woman filming was herself being filmed.
And I stand by what I said too. Police work just isn't that dangerous. Their rhetoric just doesn't line up with the statistics.
There may be some extremely rare circumstance when seizing a phone or camera is justifiable, but I can't think of any justification for a cop destroying a device.
Let me just say, from the short snippet of what happened that we saw, I do NOT condone the police officers actions, however, don't we have to ask ourselves why it is that outlets like NBC are pushing this meme...? I mean, you and others that can be so easily manipulated by a 10 second snip of footage, and a narrative need to back up a moment, and check why you are falling for this silliness.
:lamo: thanks for that one....now that's funny right there...only thing better is if you'd have said once engaged with the app an ACLU liberal parachutes directly to the scene....hahahahaha
If you don't condone the cops actions, then why are you scolding others for complaining about them?
So you think it's only liberals interested in protecting Americans civil liberties?
Ok, I give you that...So reprimand the cop...Does this really need an entire thread other than to continue the smear of police today?
Snapping spines, shooting people in the back, beating people endlessly, despite the fact their in surrender posture, choking people to death, and much more, is what smears the police. Not the press or the rest of us pointing to it.
So what you are saying is that if you may have broke the law it is ok for the cop to determine guilt and dish out punishment all on his own. Do you not see a problem with this. What he did is illegal and he should be punished and lose his job.Again....proximity is the key here....Don't want that to happen? I'd suggest you don't make yourself a pest by trying to capture your footage so close to what is happening.
Clearly you are having all kinds of problems actually reading the posts tonight....Work on that...
What? wait where did I say that...Oh that's right I didn't.
So if I grab someone's phone and break it will I just get a reprimand. Of course not. Why is the cop heals to a lower standard than an ordinary citizen. How do you not see a problem with this.Ok, I give you that...So reprimand the cop...Does this really need an entire thread other than to continue the smear of police today?

This is exactly why cops behave as if they are above the law. Because too many people like you are ok with it.
Or is it the press cherry picking incidents to paint a picture, and you fall for it....Thanks for revealing that..
No, but notice that you first had to create a strawman argument to attack what I am saying, then proceed to move straight to punishment....So tell me, what "punishment" do you think fits his egregious action of breaking a cell phone? Death penalty?

More over the top actions by police who somehow believe they are above the law.
Note: The way she's holding the device and the loudness of the smash on the ground leads me to suspect it wasn't a cell phone, but as Today as reported a "camera".

They don't that's a creation of the 1033 program, the war on terror, and the desire to turn the police into a domestic military force. What you are seeing, is the backlash to militarizing the police.
Police, in times of historic peace, low crime, are treating this country like a warzone and gearing up as if it's an occupation. It's not the other way around.,
I mean, a tactical beard?
LAPD facial hair policy:
"Facial hair is permitted for on-duty officers in uniform with the permission of the Chief of Police. All facial hair shall be clean, neatly trimmed, and will present a professional appearance. Permission to wear beards, moustaches, and goatees may be withdrawn by the Chief at any time."

So, for what reason does this high speed, low drag "operator" need to have an unkempt bear while on duty?
We both know the reason, cause all the cool socom d00ds and contractors do it in iraq and afghanistan (with good reason, reason that is lacking in LA)

You've been duped. The officer involved in this video is not LAPD, he's a U.S. Marshall
Ah, I didn't see this thread, I posted one...d'oh!
Anyway, this is so typical....it is not against the law to film police.
They obviously don't like people observing them do they?
What are they hiding?
What a goon, I hope he gets busted down hard.
