You can try to film the cops but I think as this becomes more common they are going to kick the shit out of cameramen. Personally I think it’s way risky. Here a cop assaults an l.a. woman for trying to record them.[/quote]
As much as I understand the frustration that cops feel when people crowd around them (often shouting insults), and stick cameras in their faces, I agree that it needs to be done. There are definitely abuses out there, and those cops need to be held accountable.[/quote]
cops don’t like being filmed because it’s new and it changes everything. It makes them very vulnerable to exposure where before they could do anything. It’s not frustration. It’s fear. It’s not a few cops feeling it. It’s many.
