Notice how the officer pulls at his collar early on signaling personal discomfort.

Ridiculously, needlessly, confrontational. This incident does a terrible disservice to people who are *actually* harassed by police. The narrator even calls him a member of the "blue light gang," indicating that no matter what this officer did, he was automatically going to be characterized as a bad guy. People can simply dismiss this video - because the person who made it clearly had an agenda.

@TheHireTheBetter Thank you. I'm so glad people have you around to tell them what to think.

With you and the government around, people can relax and let someone else do their thinking for them. Everything will work out best that way.

I don't care if this guy seems confrontational. We the people NEED people who challenge the police. We NEED people to make the govt uncomfortable. We have to keep the govt in check and stuff like this helps. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Some folks don't care to be contacted by a gun toting badge wearing uniformed poorly educated goon for no good reason. The cop was intimidating the photographer for having the chutzpah to film the police in public, getting a tart response. No permission is required in a public space where no expectation of privacy attached. It's the law! Police should know it & quit copping (pun intended) attitudes when people exercise their rights in this area. BTW, the executioner on death row is 'nice' too!

This officer was actually nice...just asked if you needed something, I don't get it?

This press person thinks hes tough shit because he's wearing some kind of press badge. News people are so stupid.

People need to start respecting the police. They put their lives on the line for you.

@1775novten yea, i guess you're right. I don't like this attitude cops have thinking they're so mighty and superior when they are our servants to protect us

[tjsnaps]

Standing up for rights-Great. Being an asshole to a cop and calling it standing up for rights- Not so great

[1775novten]

@Shakeitupyes Come on, you really think that officer approached him to give a press release? You know why that officer confronted him.

[1775novten]

Why do people keep commenting that the videographer was confrontational? The officer confronted him, not the other way around.

Good Job, I think this police just wanted to offer information for your journalism in the event that you had questions though. Be careful not to become what many police are your self. There are some honest good cops, this may have been one.
