Cop CAUGHT Admitting The Ugly Truth

Thank God for body cameras! My take away from this! They are keeping cops in check from killing more people and getting away with it.

WTF was he trying to prove, that he's an asshole? Tying up public safety resources with this BS?

He was defending his rights-so why is person videoing the focus of your ire?

On one hand, I admire that the reporter is asserting the legality of his presence and recording.

On the other hand, the police officers left the matter alone after the assertion of legality had been settled, and the guy approached the officer anyway.

Now granted I've only made it to 1:37. However, with this particular method there are no good guys. There must be better ways.
