Great concert cut short: A few songs into Two Gallants' set at Walter's on Washington in Houston, an officer appeared on stage very near the mic. I then either made sure it was set to video or switched my digital camera to movie mode and hit record. The physical confrontation seemed to begin immediately after that and I quickly moved toward the stage to document the already surreal setting we were all quickly lost in.
According to police, the officer asked that the music be turned down, was attacked and used his Taser in self-defense. I find it hard to imagine anyone out of the supposed 140+ in attendance who witnessed the incident would agree things occurred the way the officer described them.
I spent the better part of a day in jail because of that crazy cop.
Though it should have been the officer and not me behind bars, let us not forget that one 'bad cop' doesn't mean they all are -- though there are certainly others. The male/female officers who drove Andrew and me downtown were pretty cool. One guard at the jail in particular had a number of inmates laughing at times and seemed to have a great solution for dealing with the out-of-control fool in cell 2 who flooded the place with toilet water.
Were you there? To file a formal complaint I understand it might be best to do so with the Harris Co. D.A. Public Integrity Division.

- here in alberta pigs take literally 6 months of training... and then they get a gun and badge?
and what kind of grades do they have to get in school like C's for god sakes. - and we let these people make judgments on situations there tiny fucking brains cant even comprehend " oh thank you officer, its a good thing you ticketed me for rolling through while turning right on a red, when its saturday night and a smart cop would be policing something important
There is NO AGGRESIVE action taken by the individual creating the video. The officer WALKED by, looked back out of the corner of his eye, extended his arm BACKWARD and PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED the person with the video camera hard enough to disrupt the electronics indicating sufficient G-Force from PHYSICAL CONTACT! If Mr. Blue was any person on the street and did this to Mr. Camera... Mr. Blue would be be charged with ASSAULT. Mr. Blue clearly has the AGGRESSIVE NATURE. Freakin Scary!!
I saw the officer do nothing out of control.. Nor does the video show the ending of this or the beginning. In other words, the video of this is useless. You find it hard to believe that any of the 140 folks would agree with the cop? Are you kidding? Does anyone ever agree with the cops? I would find it harder to believe that someone agreed with him. But like I said, without a beginning and an end, the video shows basically nothing.
