[QUOTE=Jetdawgg;4060094]You called the content 'garbage' when in fact it is real. Like I said, the people are going to continue to film the Police. When one decides to become a public official, they are then open and accountable to the public.[/QUOTE]

This is true jetdawgg....they are open and accountable. However, this is not the norm; police don't just walk around acting like this. And given their jobs, which PROTECTS people, they also should be given some leniency, given the crap they put up with. Someone might get an extra elbow, or a knee, in a scrum. So what? 95 percent of the time, the person deserves it.
