Get a life cop watch

[10inlong]

if they werent drinking in public, maybe they wouldnt have gotten rousted in the first place. Public consumption probable cause led to the charges of possession/delivery of controlled substances. get a clue copwatch.

[hardbri]

NOW I KNOW CHICAGO COPWATCH IS A BIASED LIBERAL ORGANIZATION WHO NEGATIVELY DEPICT THE "FEW" OF OUR PROTECTORS. CHICAGO COPWATCH = LIARS, EXAGERATORS, SEDUCERS, ETC... I THINK THESE GUYS ARE BUNCH OF PANZIES WHO AS BOYS WANTED TO BE POLICE BUT NEVER HAD THE BALLS SO NOW THEY WALK AROUND TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION OF COPS. LOL.

This is non-sense footage. Seems to me that the camera man is trying to aggitate the police officers into behaving badly. Film the gang bangers and drug dealers and prostitutes and leave the police officers alone. Stop being a punk kid and do some real civil service in your community. Like picking up the litter that blows around the neighborhood. Be a leader in your community or get a real job.

[KickDemRocks]

but c thats the thing da police is like a gang too! the only diffrence is they get to carry guns

[mchtb1966]

The title is wrong. The people that you asked didn't know why the two men were being arrested...you never asked the men if they knew why they were being arrested. So the title to the video is wrong. I know that you won't correct it, but I thought that I would point that out anyway.

[moneyman237952]

wow no life has nothing better to do than film police officers doing therre job trying to make the streets a safer place.

[RANDY64612]

Ohhhh, good thing cop watch was there. I think the cops should take pictures of these camera fucks for fun and post them in the mens bathroom in a gay bar.

[llordstanley]

I couldn't hear a word between the cops or the arrestees. How do you know they weren't told y they were being arrested. Looks like a job well done.

[xfactor4290]

wow get a fuckin life and a job

[stoj1961a]

sure looks to me like those gentlemen were drinking (Brown bag at their feet with bottle in it) Looks to be some urine at the base of the store as well. Perhaps the store called the police?

[shonkin57]

If I were a policeman, I'd be grateful for copwatch. I'd be glad they were there to catch me doing my job correctly, helping people if they needed help and arresting those who deserved to be arrested while leaving the rest of the folks alone. Good work, copwatch.

[chicago011]

@shonkin57 the bylaws of copwatch require the destruction of any footage which would be of evidenciary value to the prosecution of an arrest or investigation they caught on video. furthermore, they also require their members to not use drugs, and leave drugs at home. what does that say about their members?

[chicago011]

why are you video taping young children? are you a pedophile?

[chicagobartenda]

Why are you always posting videos of Black people involved with the police. Why don't you video tape White people or Latinos, or Asians? Quit trying to make Blacks look bad.

[cuzkidjo]

YOU ARE A JOKE! look at whats on the ground in a brown paper bag near the guys handcuffed, from :33 to :35. if you don't know what that is go ask someone on 79th and cottage grove ave. you say you want to make the police department accountable? how about you? i don't hear what's being said among them. how do you know if they were told what they were being charged with or not? this seems a bit biased. these cops didn't kick/punch/kiss/ scratch/ hump/ lick/ bite /smell/fondle or anything. U WEIRD!

[Rottenfnfruits]

Yeah these guys lay their life on the line every day, and all you can do to show your appreciation is harass them. You're a coward. Oh and i live in the neighborhood too. If I see any of these people that you videotape without their permission I will encourage them to sue you!

[cuzkidjo]

oh yea, that's right, i hope those people gave written consent. verbal ones can only go so far. we need more police and more support for the police. this world is a toilet and it's getting filled up with you know what.

[bbrjch]

Well of there are tactical officers there as well as additional cops...someone had to call them about the two wonderful cooperating gentleman in cuffs.

For all you know they are wanted?!? Way to prove nothing by this video. All this shows is good police work! Thanks for sharing!

[cuzkidjo]

agree with you 100%.

[MrDirtyharry2009]

you're not gonna change anything...people are still gonna commit crimes and the police are still gonna lock em up whether you film or not is irrelevant...and eventually one of you guys is gonna get too close to the police and get locked up for obstruction or interfering with a police investigation...then the police will be recording you...when they take your mugshot son!

[northsidecopwatch]

the point isn't to stop policing or crime the point is to make the police department accountable to the people

[cuzkidjo]

LOL you put it best. even though the mug shot is just a picture northsidecopwatch just might enjoy it. in his sell i think he might say things like "i need mustard for my sandwich, this is real meat, can i get some juice, i need a blanket, turn the light on/off, i get a phone call, i have rights, you can't do this to me, my lawyer will love you, PLEASE OFFICER, I'M SO SORRY!"
