4. The officer was NOT going to turn his back on Mr. Video Guy, who appeared out of nowhere, is projecting a LOT of anger, and who is DEMANDING action.
Bullshit.
Dude didn't say a word, and had 2 (or more) cameras on him... Didn't say shit until officer fucktard put his hand on his gun...
Cop asked 'why are you filming me', then switched into 'officer safety bullshit make shit up mode' and claimed the go pro was a gun.. yeah.. fuck off with that bullshit...

Again, from the initial video, the officer did overreact. But what was the officer SEEING that caused him to draw his weapon?
He saw a camera, multiple cameras, that he didn't like.
I would be A-OK with an overwatch position grounding the man with a gun threatening a law abiding citizen. Don't pull guns on innocent people, don't get shot. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
If I pulled a gun on a man with a camera, I'd be going to jail for a looonnnggg time..
But somehow, a shiny metal plate allows you to pull your gun for no fucking reason...?
You realize how often this happens in CA?
Dude was being harassed by a cop who pulled his gun on him because he told him to get off his property... Just the other day, another officer was caught on film rough housing a guy who called to file a complaint, because he had his hand in his pocket.. FORCIBLY removed his hand from his pocket, when he was on his own property, and asking them to leave, when HE was the one filing the complaint.
Fuck 'officer safety' and all the jackbooted thuggery it hides... What about citizen safety? What about not having a fucking gun pulled on you for having a camera? What about not being assaulted on your own fucking property when the only 'crime' you've committed is asking officers who refuse to take a report, to leave?
Tyranny is ALWAYS advanced under the name of 'safety'... We need 'safe schools', ban guns! We need 'safe spaces', BAN freedom of speech! We need a 'SAFE' environment! BAN gas cans!.....
You can sit there and say 'oh, he was baited!', well, guess what, we bait drug dealers, we bait car thieves, we bait prostitutes, and no one EVER says 'but, but, the other guy was an asshole'.... No, doesn't matter if it was baited or not... Officer dickhead deserves a termination notice, at the minimum.
