Police Officer Breaks Reporters Camera For Filming On Public Sidewalk

Visit us CopBlock.org Facbook.com/copblock

Milwaukee Police Officer Joseph Anderer did not want any recording of his colleagues ticketing a victim who was broadsided April 52011 by a speeding police car that exited an alley without stopping.

So he twisted the camera from reporter Geoff Davidian's hand, breaking the lens. Anderer cited Davidian for interfering with issuance of a citation, although no citation was issued (except to Davidian) by any of the police in the six squad cars and a motorcycle that responded for 90 minutes.

The citizen whose car sustained damage from the speeding police car was issued a warning. During the incident, Anderer said, "You reporters never tell the truth." So we'll let the camera do the talking in this video.

Brough to you by : " An other piece of shit in uniform "

Why did he demand ID. It's the only thing cops know ID ID ID ID ID ID ID ID

Plain and simple intimidation.

Cops always say people who film them are "obstructing law enforcement." Standing around silently and filming something is not obstructing. It's just documenting. You say one word they don't like and they write some bullcrap in a report about how you were "belligerent and combative." People say cops are so brave, but it seems to me they are afraid tiny little digital cameras.

I'm so glade i live where i live!! The cops where i live have respect for the people in this town. They don't act like assholes! In fact the sheriff helped me out on the law about carrying fire arms when i bout myself a gun!! He told me straight up that its not illegal to carry my gun in public. He also told me that i don't have to give id if i did not break the law in any way. That i don't have to have a permit to carry my gun in my car!! We have cool cops here!! Thank god

What is the difference between this guy filming and the police making this info available to the general public. And why isn't this cop going through the city knocking down all of the cameras every where he sees one?

That's right, the police can post the citation in the newspaper, online, and in their monthly bulletin but WHOOOOOAAAAA, someone filming it is suddenly a privacy matter!

[TheCosmicGypsies]

[xXholypaladinXx]

it takes law enforcement to have a police state. Police are lapdogs for the rich & ruling class. They are the rich and ruling class private army, that's why they get by with anything they are not your friends. Their job is to arrest you put you in jail or kill you when the ruling class wants to have a police state. The police will do as they are told, the police are armed and retarded they will hurt you. The police love kill people for fun they are the enemy of the people.
