Cop Puts Cameraman In Chokehold for Filming Peaceful Protest

After a week of bloody shootings in the city of Newark, family members of the victims killed by gun violence marched in front of churches Sunday to ask the clergy for help.

The march ended, however, when a Newark police officer put a CBS 2 photographer in a choke hold, handcuffed him, and put him in the back of a police car.

[falsehead]

He can't do whatever he wants!!!!!!!! fucking pig!

[2worldwidevideos]

[MrDenverdan]

Americans need to wake up. If this sort of constitutional abuse continues to go on unnabated we will find ourselves in a nazi regime before long.

[bottlefedmitsu]

i doubt this will be considered a racial issue.

[PrettyMurky]

"CBS2 intends to fight that summons..."

Surely 'CBS2 intends to press charges for assault and kidnapping' would be more appropriate.

"I can do whatever I want!"

@wayne17700 I agree 1000%

[wayne17700]

when the police start using violence on reporters then watch out for your rights because the police will use this intimidation on everyone so wake and start to use your constitutional rights to stop the abuse and make sure these crooks dont take those rights from you

[jonguyton1]

I don't believe in suing, but this is the only way to get something done. When the cop is punished with paid leave what else is there to do.

[ALANLEEY]

[SuperCitrusFruit]

[laststop3h]

"I can do whatever I want" Pigs think they are above the law.

[xWaffleWeaselx]

Woman: "You can't arrest him!"

Cop: "I can do whatever I want"

Need I say more?

"I can do whatever I want"

[MrBigoutlaw]

Worked in law enforcement and tactical intell support for cops. The cop is a fool bcuz he tells them "put the camera away", thats a direct order as well as being unconstiutional. You can shoot video anywhere in a public place, period. The cops says "I can do whatever I want"..completely false. Choke holds were banned here in California many years ago and putting the camera operator in handcuffs was stupid. The cop should be fired, he deserves it.
