    hmm, in LA or SD this dude would prob have ended up hogtied. He has balls and within his rights for the most part. But it is a lame point to try and push. The police are more than friendly and accommodating to him even letting him continue to tape even after they asked him not to tape them.

    • < my point exactly. and In Chicago too..plash
    • Oddly enough, this is also my point: what the cops in THIS incident did INITIALLY was not out of bounds. The LA & SD stuff ISlocustsloth
    • IS out of boundslocustsloth
    • and i agree. it did not get bloody or out of hand.plash
    • but i expect due process to happen.plash
    • my main argument is that with a little common sense and common courtesy, a conflict MAY have been avoidedlocustsloth
    • Police have an obligation to investigate suspicious activity, the MTA employee asked the police to do solocustsloth
    • this guy's obstinacy escalated the incident. Form the first officer's mannerisms, i get the sense he would have just liked to do due diligence and get the fuck outta therelocustsloth
    • do due diligence and get the fuck outta there. And of course, i could be wrong and they could have acted like dicks anyway. But we'll never know.locustsloth
