New York state trooper doesn't know the law and

[Malraiders]

doesn't care what the SCOTUS says as he lies and tries to intimidate a citizen who has done nothing wrong.

And then whines to his supervisor like a little kid.

1. Gotta hand it to the supervisor. I've seen plenty of these where the....

.... supervisor shows up and acts like a bigger asshole.

[Nye Bevan]

2. The cop was wrong but the guy making the video was kind of a dick.

The sergeant seemed like a good guy.

[Malraiders]

4. "but the guy making the video was kind of a dick." Well you know,

women think that is the best part of a man.

[msanthrope]

8. Some women, pal. nt

[Malraiders]

10. Don't stop there. We could add "some men" also. eom

[brush]

18. The bully cop was the dick

The guy filming should not have to just roll over when he knows he's in the right and the bully cop is wrong.

[1monster]

20. In your dreams, sugah. Any (of the few) woman who thinks that is the best part

are not ones you want to get involved with... 'cause

[jtuck004]

25. +1 n/t

[Android3.14]

29. Yo, dude, uncool.

Imagine if you said the inverse of that about men. Inappropriate.

[Gormy Cuss]

11. The guy shooting the video was "kind of a dick?" No pal, that'd be the trooper.

The trooper was abusing his authority. His sergeant stepped in to set him straight.

[brush]

16. Nice correction.

[christx30]

23. Being kind of a dick isn't against the law.

And as long as he's following the law, he can do what he wants. The cop was wrong.

[annabanana]

30. He was actually being pretty polite, considering how WRONG

the cop was.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. I would really, really hate to be the next person that cops stops.

[rpannier]

7. Ain't that the truth nt

[Maynar]

5. And he has

a stupid-looking hat, too.

[Facility Inspector]

6. Ooooh! that has to sting that little prick

Hope dude doesn't run into him again though.

I could feel the burn on that one though!

[Alkene]

9. Am I being detained,

or am I free to go?

[jaxind]

12. If I had been the owner of the drone...

If I had been the owner of the drone...I'd have to have been a black guy! Can you just imagine what this belligerent white cop would have done to the guy had he been black???

[valerief]

19. My first thought, too. The photographer "sounded" white, and by the

bully cop's lack of violence, he probably was white.

Note: Don't get on my ass about sounding white. I know it doesn't work out 100%, but I can't ignore my knowledge of the voices I've heard around me all my life, and I'm not assuming there's anything inherently "better" about sounding white.

[packman]

13. Those hats remind me of a connection - military drill sargents

Intimidation and military , clean cut, square jaw meant for show - I'm in charge , you will obey. Probably impractical as hell.

[Glassunion]

26. Most state police use hats like that.

For some it's the daily uniform, others it's part of the dress uniform.

[B Calm]

14. Why was he flying a drone over State Police headquarters? Was he just trying to create

a situation?

[ColesCountyDem]

15. It's neither material nor relevant why. n/t

[valerief]

17. Maybe he's making a movie about cops/crime and wanted some good shots of

a state police facility. Not particularly strange. Lots of movies have bird's eye view shots.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

21. Even if he was, that's his choice and it's not illegal. No one should EVER be

criticized for probing the limits and limitations of police state authority.

Be a citizen and not a subject/suspect.

[Sander]

22. What am I Missing in the Video?

"And then whines to his supervisor like a little kid."

[Chakab]

24. Thanks to the fascist enablers on the Supreme Court, which include several of the so-called liberal

justices. The police can search and detain you based upon their ignorance or misunderstanding of the law and any resulting charges will still be valid.

[Glassunion]

27. My guess is that the SP have encountered this fella before

And have been smacked around in a court room. To me it would explain the supervisor's behavior.

[randys1]

28. The cop did not show sociopathic or psychopathic tendency, only ignorance.

The problem is when someone armed with misinformation has a tendency to also be violent

I wonder how that first 2 minutes would have gone down had the filmmaker been Black

[annabanana]

31. That was pretty much my second thought. . .

right after I heard he was using a drone, which is kind of a steroidal camera..

I knew for a fact that a black cameraman would never have gotten that far into the "argument" with the officer.
