Pointed at his face? Sweeping? You guys must have been watching a different video than I was. Feel free to point out the time point in the video where the muzzle is pointed at the videographer.

Cameraboi was a ass. The cop he approached was a little jerky, but up to the 2:10 point where I stopped watching, hadn't gotten out of line yet.
Entirely possible the tenor of the encounter changed right after that, but my stomach is growling for coffee, so that must be left to speculation.
(Where Cameraboi went wrong was approaching and interrupting the event - nobody bothered him up to that point)
I watched the whole thing. In the end the cops and kids shook hands and left.
I get that people can video what they want. If that's your thing then go for it. I'm fairly certain that if a cops is taking care of business and you interfere you could have legal issues. The cop said nothing to the video guy until the guy approached him and asked what was gong on.
These video guys can be helpful but they should keep their distance. The original video of this thread yeah, that video guy had a legitimate gripe. He was on the other side of the street and the police came over to him.
This guy walked up to the cop. totally different.
I agree he should have stayed back. The allowance for videoing a cop is just that, videoing only. If you walk up to the situation and start to ask questions, that is interfering. That was stupid on his part. Like a waitress or sales rep, the cop is in customer service position. You can get your point across and do your job in a respectful, professional manner. The cop was an obnoxious dick and that was unnecessary.
The other cop who was talking to the kids could have come over and joined in and pushed the camera guy around, he didn't but some would have.
The number 2 for the Boston police, the stocky big black guy. Look up the video of him talking to a punk an hr or two after the cop was shot in the face. Very professional and always polite even when the punk was mouthing off and looking to be an ass. The cop in this video wasn't way over the top but he was still a dick and could have asked him to move back in a better way. He's the type that will escalate a situation where he should be bring it down.

I just love how cops and people like you look at someone who is concerned with their and other peoples rights as trying to escalate things. Sad and pathetic.
Ya...I guess but I don't know how many of these self righteous idiots they encounter each day. I'm sure it gets on their nerves.
I'll watch the video again but the video guy was annoying to me and I'm not a cop....lol
Nope...watched it again. Who the heck is this guy? "I'm just making sure the kids are alright" That's none of his business.
The first statement out of the cops mouth..."Can you back up please" and he didn't' put his hands on him until he didn't back up.
I'm on the cop's side as far as the video guy goes. Them harassing the kids about their own bikes is pathetic.
But the cop had it right..."you're just looking for a reaction".
The video guy was being a wise ass. So sticking to my guns so to speak about the video guy.
