Some police departments are grossly corrupt. Fortunately we have a Justice Department that prosecutes civil rights violations now.

john tello, a criminal law attorney, is representing two witnesses who took video footage and five other witnesses to the incident. He said his clients are still shaken by what they saw.

A search warrant wasn't presented to either of the witnesses until after tello arrived, he said, adding that one phone was seized before the warrant was produced.

Tello said the phone of the first witness was taken after the deputies told him he was either going to give up the phone the easy way or the hard way.

wtf?

As cameras have become so ubiquitous to document the police in action, Americans are discovering what our Black bretheren have been telling us all alone: Police tend to be violent and unfairly so.

I think it most troubling that in some states (all states?) it is now a crime to document the police in action while in a public venue.

There's a saying about Bakersfield..."Come on vacation, Leave on Probation."

There supposedly is an app now where you can download such footage directly to the ACLU in case the police confiscate your phone.

If you have a photobucket account and app, you can upload video in seconds.

Cops react to cameras like cockroaches to floodlights.
