[VIDEO] ~ Teen arrested for asking cop about unwarranted raids...

If I beat an unarmed man with a stick, is not the right to thing for any witness to do physically intervene and stop me by any means necessary?

Stab the cop in the neck.

Wow, triple post. New high score?

It's all throughout the country and happening consistently.

The increased use of video cameras is revealing an ugly side of American law enforcement. What we see in this small sample are extreme examples of unbridled authoritarian personality.

While the majority of police officers are relatively stable and sensible it's unfortunate that a significant percentage are psychologically defective, seeming to lose control when their commands are not met with submissive obedience regardless of circumstances.

Sorry, but the policeman was doing his job exactly the way he had been trained to do it.

When a policeman is conducting an investigation no outsider has the right to get involved. In this case, the policeman was speaking to a driver, the cameraman should not have gotten invloved. Any third party distrtaction can be interpreted as interference with a police investigation, including any form of verbal harrassment directed at the oficer.

You do not have to be guilty of a crime to get arrested. The police have a legal right to detain you on suspicion alone. The law provides them with 72 hours. They can detain you for 3 days, not including weekends or holidays, to investigate whether or not you have violated any law.

The lesson to be learned: When a police officer is in the act of performing his duty, do not even attempt to speak with the officer unless you have a legitimate emergency requiring his help or assistance. This is the law.

Footnote: Since 9/11, most states have upgraded "police or fire interference" to felony status.
