Quoted: Wow, some of you guys on the cop's side are crazy. Yes, the auditor is probably a shitbag, however the COP is more of a shitbag. Just because someone has a badge does not mean they get to assault someone. I am seeing way too many of these videos anymore to think it's "just a few bad apples". People in law enforcement must do more to be better at their jobs. View Quote |

Quoted: Sometimes the police get it right, too. Here's a video where the business tried to escalate things by making false accusations about the auditor having a gun, and the police read her the riot act for it. She should have been charged in my opinion, but it's still a win and I'm happy the police involved were able to see what was really going on there, and identify who the actual aggressors were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSXj3lQSCH0 And for those that claim the auditors never post videos of the positive encounters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs4aKOzqSJU The most amazing part about all if this is how many videos I had to sort through to find these two specific videos I was looking for. There are a LOT of videos out there documenting police interactions, both good and bad. Seriously, don't just take my word for it. Do a search yourself and see how many hits pop up, both good and bad. It's a very long and deep rabbit hole to get lost in, but you can learn a lot of interesting legal trivia along the way. View Quote Audit the Audit is very fair and calls out where both sides mess up. Last one I watched the auditor got an F and the officer an A. |

Quoted: Shitty cops can get fired. Creepy fucking asshats who insist on trying to act like terrorists while recording folks trying to live their fucking lives can't. In truth the cops should have never even been called here, because it should be perfectly legal for the people working in that building to come out and pummel the fucking jackass within an inch of his for refusing to leave.

Quoted: I haven’t watched the video, I won’t reward the morons who make it with the click revenue. These same guys showed up in front of my workplace nearby a year or so ago. They were total jerks, asked leading questions and made veiled accusations trying to get a negative reaction for them to post online. Please don’t reward their behavior by helping them get paid for these videos. I know the officer personally, I’ve done gun work for him. He’s a solid dude, a good man and this isn’t the first time he’s had to deal with these scumbags. View Quote @Red_SC You should watch the video and see that he's not a "solid dude". From the get go he is incredibly disrespectful and gets enjoyment from making people feel uncomfortable. When he's called on it, he becomes vindictive and violent. |

Nothing has changed, there are cops who think that pummeling people who are exercising their freedom is ok.

I wonder what people would say if someone posted a video of a cop acting like a douche only to have his face punched in by someone holding a camera. I'll bet people would be calling for the puncher to be jailed for assault.
But this cop assaults someone who isn't breaking the law and then deletes the video? And people on this board are ok with that? |

I only watch them when they're posted here, or occasionally one will pop up in my recommendations that catches my eye. I'm with you on not liking the derogatory terms so many tend to default to, regardless of whether they're talking about police officers, democrats, or the President himself. Debate the merits of their actions all you want, but to call them names is just childish and uncouth. It's extremely frustrating when people's crass remarks reflect poorly on our community as a whole. People already think we're savages and barbarians as it is. We don't need them thinking we've regressed to being troglodytes. |

Quoted: Well fine citizens of Florence, SC, do you enjoy being fucked by your police? Because you're fucked.

Quoted: Florence is a ghetto shit hole View Quote Quoted: So true, you've never seen your "friend" in a position of authority deal with one of his subjects.

The cameraman being a douche doesnt excuse the behavior of the cop. They’re supposed to be better than that. Unless theres some external context which is always possible with video clips.

What is the "public easement" the auditor was on? In the video it looks like he's on the grass. If he was in the road I get it, but not the grass. Can people walk through your yard for a certain length if there are not sidewalks? Serious question.

Auditard in the video already has a lawyer according to the narrator
There was a couple doing the "stand/enter" weird areas thing. They stood outside eotech, a gasoline storage facility and they walked around inside some town hall. Pretty decent way to provoke a response as the police, who might otherwise ignore them if they showed up at the police station, are basically forced to show up when 911 is called. Wonder how many settlements the cameraman in OP has scored. |
