Sue baby sue!

Don’t worry. Once Texas succeeds from the United States, the Texican police will be able to do what ever they want to you. Unless you shoot back…

[...] Quick Take: Raw: Cop Arrests TV Reporter on Camera During Coverage of Traffic Accident → Read full article… [...]

It would be very interesting to see the prior few minutes of the tape to see what action the reporter committed to get this reaction from the cop. It is curious that the clip does not contain any of that.

We (amateur reporters) have been telling you that this happens, for years. No one wanted to believe us. Now the cops are getting so bad that even professional corporate media are getting the police state treatment.

We warned you.

As always, there are two sides to every story. It is caught on tape that these guys were asked to move their truck from the scene. It is very possible that the police determined that there was getting to be a dangerous buildup of vehicles at the side of the street. He has the authority to clear traffic from any area of the public road in a case like this. The reporter resisted his orders repeatedly and only agreed to comply once the cop informed him that he would be arrested. It is possible that the cop went too far but most likely it will be ruled a non-incident.

As to the idiots calling this police brutality you would first have to prove that the policeman in question was brutal. Since we can all see with our own eyes that there is no evidence of brutal or harmful treatment then no judge would agree with you. You folks calling it police brutality are simply idiots.

Finally, we have no idea what these reporters did and what they were asked earlier since the video is only partial and does not cover the earlier situation.

Never give some stupid Mexican a badge!

This so called cop is a criminal.

- Gross violation of the 1st amendment

- FALSE ARREST

- BATTERY, ASSAULT

MAJOR Lawsuit, MAJOR civil lawsuit.

Take his boat, house, and car away from him
and make him pay damages in civil court too.

Have you ever been rubbernecking an accident on the other side of the highway and almost rear-end some other fool that has SLOWED DOWN or STOPPED to rubberneck? That is what this officer is trying to avoid. The news crew was a major traffic distraction that could possible cause more accidents because of rubberneckers.

Get a helicopter, everyone else has one!

Semper Fi

I can’t tolerate in your face Reporters but on the other hand some Cops are just plain out of control. Some Police Officers have this primodona “I’m above the law” attitude which is clearly demonstrated in this clip. I support law enforcement as a profession but refuse to put all PO’s in the hero catergory as some would.

Cha Ching time for the individual who is being arrested or may I say is being assaulted.

It is “funny” the clip starts with the cop ordering the “reporter” to leave. It sounds as though they were filming prior to this incident and the reporter doesn’t want to public to see that part. I’ll bet the reporter provoked this incident because they seldom just report the news anymore, they try to make news! Just like that CNN reporter (term loosely used) was not reporting at the tea party, but was just an Obama zombie spokesperson with a radical liberal agenda there only to insult true patriots!

CrusaderPatriot.com

PLEASE NOTE: The cop pursued this person even when this person walked away as ordered. PLUS… Why were military personel on the scene helping?

See Here: http://www.kvia.com/Global/story.asp?S=10216950

Perhaps the cop didn’t want something on film? Hmm…? What the “F” is going on in this country???

You guys are nuts!

He disobeyed a direct order to leave the scene. The police officer did the right and legal thing.

All you liberals need to go back to the second grade and learn a few things. Like laws and grammar. (:

I’ve seen so many incidents like this that it’s pathetic. Trust me, the reporter probably didn’t do a thing to warrant that action by the police officer. As a freelance photographer, I’ve been on numerous accident scenes where I was standing BEHIND a crowd of onlookers, not making any fuss, and the police descended on me like flies. They will scream at you when you are doing exactly what they have told you to do, they will threaten you when you are completely out of the way in a legal area and causing no problems, they will come after you when there are dozens of civilians closer to the scene. There is a mindset where they just lose all sense of reality and keep escalating, even when you are perfectly complying with all orders and saying, “Yes, sir, OK, sir, I’m doing that now, sir.” I’ve been freelancing for over 20 years, and I’ve seen it done to others, I’ve had it done to me. Trust me, the officer loses all sense, and the syndrome is universal among police agencies. It is also one of the sickest things you would ever want to encounter, to think a public servant with a gun can have that kind of mindset.

Those of you defending this – the cop commited assault and battery, and false arrest.
The reporter was walking to his truck as ordered.
The cop got mad because he told the cameraman to stop shooting and the reporter said “he can shoot if he wants”.
The little insecure nerd cop wanted to “teach him a lesson” for talking back to him (which isn’t illegal.
It’s assault and battery even if cops do it.
If this was me, I’d be suing and looking forward to a big payday.

The reporter was a traffic hazard and he clearly antagonized the officer.

Anything for his career.

To Anthony@3:57pm Military personel were probably just driving by (there is a large military base there, Fort Bliss)and stopped to see if they could help. Our military are decent people like that, always willing to do the right thing, always wanting to help.

I lived in El Paso….I left El Paso….This is why….Gringo’s beware.

I wonder if we’re in for a massive attack from narco-terrorists? Just the other day, the hijacking of this Canadian plane in Montego Bay had all the earmarks of a war game. (Our Prime minister was in Jamaica that day, too.) This little girl was abducted around London, Ont. on the anniversary of a Bandiditos MC massacre and she did not get an Amber Alert, etc. This video has the hints of being on “severe” alert as well.

I’m an El Pasoan and these Brownshirts are/were totally out of control around here. What was the cop trying to hide? Was it a wrecked beer truck? loaded with pot or cocaine? Doing a little sampling to “verify” the substance?

that was a VICIOUS wedgy that cop was submitting that reporter to.

To cindy,

You might think the military are ‘decent people’ but the truth is they OBEY THEIR MASTERS, just like the police and when the order is given to OPEN FIRE on American CIVILIANS THEY WILL OBEY. SOMETHING IS ON THAT TRUCK.

Has anyone else seen the mobile ACTIVE DENIAL SYSTEMS being shipped to different locations in plain view on the beds of independent semis?

I have. And I have the photographs to prove it. They are preparing for something and that something will be carried out against the civilian population of the United States.

Remain uninformed and ignorant to the pieces of ‘the plan’ that are coming to light. Those that see and understand have been ‘preparing’ for this for quite some time.

They can take my life but they WILL NOT take my freedom.

The only comment I can think of right now is that after he put the camera down I hope he beat the livin’ sheit out of him

Pig.

If, you notice in the beginning of the clip there are many people and vehicles to the left of the officer as he climbs the fence. Also, there are many people and vehicles behind the reporter, to say nothing of the ones on the side of the wreck. The officer seems to not notice all of the people and vehicles, EXCEPT for the reporter. I would like to know what his problem is with the reporter. If, the officer wanted to move the traffic along he should have started at the beginning of the line NOT in the middle. I would like to see a follow up of what the TV Station did about this and what the police did.

Put me on the jury. I’d side with the cops. You bet. The TV reporter acted as if he was a moron when directed to clear the scene. It was only when he was beginning to be cuffed that he started his “aw c’mon”. TV boy delayed and the cop took charge. It was an accident scene. The police have full jurisdiction over the situation. Pay the fine TV boy and obey orders the next time.

Police: Do you want me to arrest you?
Reporter: Yah, I want to be arrested.
Police: Ok, then you are being arrested.
Reporter: Ooops.

Good job by the cop. The reporter didn’t do as he was asked, and the cop has the responsibility to move him. “I’m not doing anything” is right: you’re not moving! Plenty of opportunities to leave and he didn’t. Neither did the cameraman.

Great job by the cop!

As a retired firefighter, i have witness out of control police officer. Alot of them beleive they are above the law, and if they order you to do something, it is the law. You only have to obey a lawful order. We were trained, that if a report want to be in a bad situation let them, as long as it does not interfer with the situation.

If you have a build up of traffic around a scene, with reporters there, and you want to clear the scene, because of a safety hazard, you would logically clear reporter vehicles first, since they can be a draw for other people to the scene. Regardless of the rationale of the police officer, he was within the law to do what he did. The idiots should have moved along and were no doubt told quite a few times. But instead they stayed and argued with the police. What morons they are.

Reporter and Cameraman both put their precious microphone in the face of an accident victim ahead of public safety. Policeman gave a lawful order, reporter and cameraman talked back, resisted, questioned, and then talked back while walking away. Book ‘em Danno.

Police give you a lawful order, you obey or go to jail. Simple simple since 1776. Nothing in the law about you agreeing with the order or liking it. Obey or jail.

Love to see our conspiracy theorist and truther squad responding here with the military angle. I bet Dick Cheney cause the accident by flying his black helo too low to the highway. Lets all go the the dailykos and talk about it some.

99% of cops give the rest a bad name.

The only good cop is a dead cop!!

Low life scum rat b@st@rd rat cop!

this is a racist assault by someone who probably come here illegally. White people better wake up, this is what is coming. I hope they sue this psycho for everything.

Was this in Mexico? Does this cop know any english besides your going with me? This camera man and reporter said they were not doing anything and you can clearly see they are not fighting the Mexican cop but he is just roughing them up for no reason. I hope this cop looses his job as soon as this comes out. This cop went way beyond what was called for. If this was America we need to treat all Mexicans the same way he threated the reporter. Make sure the cops know the language also and what it means by we are not doing anything. Fire this SOB before he kills someone. Go after his family and deport all of them.

@Mark
“99% of cops give the rest a bad name.”

What is the ‘real’ ratio of good to bad cops anyway???

We have a few bad ones here who have been going down real fast these days… Sort of a house cleaning…

But what is super sad is that everyone one in the force and in the public knows about them long before they are finally removed.

That HAS to change!!!

We have ‘ZERO TOLERANCE’ for little kids with a plastic knife packed in their school lunch. But we all tolerate psycho cops until they manage to kill “too” many people…

As America cleans up, Police need a very hard looking at. All those cameras and surveillance machines seem to be picking up more crooked law enforcement officers than normal crooks…

As much as I dislike the “state” and their enforcement bureaucrats(cops),I would like to see what transpired 2 minutes prior to the start of this tape.
The media can be very tricky with their editing(like the censors of Breitbart)if it suits some agenda.

I counted three vehicles behind the Toyota, a vette on the opposite shoulder and another 2-3 in front of the Toyota all parked on the same side of the barrier. Were they all obstructing? Were they all vehicles of witnesses? How would the presence of that particular Toyota affect public safety any more than the other 6 or 7 vehicles parked around it? The explanations I’ve read thus far make no sense at all.

Something must have happened moments earlier to cause that officer to shift his focus to the camera crew – going so far as to hop the barrier to confront them. I doubt it had to do with the fact that they parked in that spot.

The reporters were defiant until the cuffs were on then they were willing to obey the cop. If they had a problem with the cops orders they should have left then took up the issue with the commanding officer. If this cop had been a “bad cop” then these guys would have been tasered and beaten.

Aim for the badge folks.

Yeah…I saw military people!! Is it an atomic bomb Israel is going to use to trash an American city and blame it on Iran?? Oh, it was a racist Mexican cop, too!

Obama Land. Coming to a city near you soon.

You fools who are justifying the police’s actions need a serious wake up call.
A free press is essential to a Constitutional republic which none of you seem to be aware of.
Some very evil things are being perpetrated by the government. If this was an innocuous ‘ accident’ then there would be little reason for the police to act in the manner we see.
Clearly military people can be seen in some of the footage. Is the Gov. running weapons to Mexico? Drugs being imported by the CIA? Bioweapons to be used upon the American public? These are the questions and opinions that should be raised.
Americans are slowly being bled to death on many fronts. Through wars to destroy our countries military ability to defend itself. The pre planned financial takedown to further bring us into submission.
Think this kind of behavior doesn’t exist? Then you are a fool wjo has fooled themselves blindly.

Fascism. Plain and simple.

Take a good look at that cop. That is what crooked cops look like! He was probably protecting his employers shipment of contraband from prying eyes.
Notice the military guys in the background also? What was that truck carrying?

Happily, not all will obey. More and more of our military personnel are standing up to honor their oaths and are stating ahead of time they will flat refuse all such illegal orders. See Oath Keepers:

What about when they give you an unlawful order? It could be argued (and probably will) that his order wasn’t “lawful”, especially given the pattern of suppressing uncooperative press.
It’s worth remembering that a large part of why 1776 happened was a response to persistent unlawful exercise of power by the authorities of the time.

Do you think they’ve moved their nuke detected in the Israeli Embassy in NY city during radiation sweeps after 9/11? I don’t know of any follow-ups after the initial reports, but it would seem more likely they’d keep it on the east coast for a bigger impact when deployed.

It is about time a reporter what treated the way they treat everyone else. I am so sick and tired of the spin and emotionalism they force feed everyone. Go police, This was absolutely justified!

All you pansy liberal pinko commie b@st@rds can go suck it. Cops and Americans have GUNS. You do not!!!

Cops are afraid, not of guns, cameras. Who’s word do you think the Judge will take? The officer with whom they are familiar or the citizen. Cameras are the equalizer and law enforcement is loosing their power. Cops are usually ex-military, give a man or woman a gun and watch the power overtake them. I used to work as a security guard and most law enforcement will not or do not take the time to be diplomatic. Everyone carry a camera and let law enforcement SEE it!
Just so you don’t think I am against police action, I found that calm explanation diffuses almost every situation.
I once was an unarmed security guard in LA county at a event known to have gang members. There were about 5 guards and no one was armed. More than half a dozen fights broke out, I stepped between to men both larger than me, one on the ground and the larger of the two standing over him. I stepped in between back turned to the larger one and softly spoke to both and said, “The police will be arriving shortly, I advise you walk away now”. That was the end of the fight and I survived with out incident.

Any jackass that doesn’t know by now, if a cop is on a scene of a accident or investigation, and he wants you to move, you move. Idiot. If he does not have control he can be swaped by a crowd. Get a Life.

OINK! OINK!
The nerds who got beat up in high school now have a badge and are real tough guys!

“Better watch it! You want me to arrest you! Do what I say! I have a badge! I’m a real man, now!”

Bunch of wussy boys all grown up now!

I love the smell of frying pork!

Good comment section. Thought Provoking. Police officers, especially sargeants, know the value of public relations. So what orders is he adhering to without fail? He’s not losing his adrenaline control at all. If anything, he’s afraid of being held responsible for something. The reporter does not think he’s crossing a rubbernecking line at all. Why?

Where in the hell was the threat to this moronic cop? This reporter was only using his right of free speech as he was indeed exiting the area! This was a false arrest at the very least! I just wonder what the charges here? After all they had this dumb ass poor excuse for real cop on tap! What more proof could any judge ask for?

Me thinks ‘this one’ will get resolved…

Lots of attention and a lot of ‘light’ will prevail…

Pretty obvious really… It should have been fixed far far sooner though…

Bad cops are just a lingering cancer on any police department until they are finally removed…

The giant problem seems to be early detection of these out of control scum…

…for all the cop-supporting folks on this site…he could not have wanted to clear the traffic as the cop allowed the people right in front of the reporter to stay…it was about ego and control….you know, these cops think they are bad-asses when they are in mass….but check out the Oakland and Pittsburgh cops…they had their ass handed to them…amazing, they die just like the rest of us..if you apply enough force..

To: MrReasonable….

..you are an idiot…but you would have been a star in Stalin or Hitler’s world….first of all there were no police departments in 1776 as they didn’t come about until the middle of the last century and had this parentally-egoed boy-cop been alive back then he would have been tarred, feathered and run out of town…or hung by the neck until dead…..I think that’s what patriots did to the enemy and to those who committed treason against the founding American principles

Regards,

p.s.- your fascist Marine mindset is showing
…if you want to suck the tit of authority go back to your semper-fi orgy…or as general Smedley Butler put it, go back to protecting your corporate interests

I love your guys imagination about cops assuming God privileges at the “scene of an accident.” How big is the “scene” then, eh? 10 feet, 100 feet? 1000 feet? 1000 miles? Where is the line drawn?

Wow.

There are actually sheeple out there who think this cop was justified.

1)Did you cop defenders not see the other people with their truck stopped on the freakin camera?

Ok, let me clarify that for you:

There were people stopped watching the recovery of the semi involved in the accident. Just watching.

The REPORTER (someone who REPORTS NEWS) was there to DO HIS JOB.

So why didn’t the copper tell the other guys to move?

2)Regardless: The reporter was not doing anything illegal. If so, what was he doing?

3)This is AMERICA. Land of the Boston Tea Party. Rebellious, patriotic people who do the right thing. That reporter had every right to be standing there doing his job; he was not causing anymore of a scene than the freakin semi already laying sideways on the road, or the 3 guys you see observing already.

4)The people saying “he didn’t listen to the cops orders” HELL NO HE DIDN”T! You people brainwashed into thinking that cops are Gods are absolutely freaking insane; wait until you are trampled by such as egregious abuse of power and then let’s hear you support the treatment. And don’t you dare say “well I would never…” yea, say that to the hundreds of people who are abused daily by some hothead with a license to kill.

Some people are just major kiss-arses, and need to feel controlled, and “good citizen” like.

Stand up for your Rights.

On first impression, I think both parties have their share of the blame. If I had to fault one side or the other, it struck me that the police officer ended up escalating the incident into a needless arrest, and somehow lost his sense of professionalism. I think the department knew it when they saw the tape and that’s why they’ve taken him off the street and put him on desk duty.

The little bea— is on a power trip–what an ass–there were many others stopped for the accident whether to assist or as witnesses. Obviously the trailer was loaded with something illegal or too sensitive to be filmed for the jerk to go off like he did. It was news afterall and and the accident occured on public right of way. The desk job is appropriate for him.

[...] Video here. [...]

If that jackass would have just listened, got in his truck and left, there would be no problem. Saying “I’m not doing anything” while resisting, does not mean you weren’t resisting. Media Jackasses are everywhere. If my family member was killed in a traffic accident, I wouldn’t want some jackass filming their dead bodies.

Did anyone notice the guy in desert military uniform running to the accident?

i just read that the reporter was trying to interview some military guys who pulled some people out of their cars and the cop did not let him. What a jerk that would have been a good story nice job el paso cops

[...] is the original:  Raw: Cop Arrests TV Reporter on Camera During Coverage of Traffic Accident Filed Under: Latest News [...]

Time to start shooting the pigs, let them know that we have had enough.

This was clearly a hate crime. The cop only harassed and arrested the reporter because he was a white man. And probably straight, too. There are laws against such crimes against people because of their sex, sexual orientation, and nationality. The cop’s sentence should be doubled. It’s time white people have the protection against hate crimes that others so freely enjoy.

I agree with a lot of posts here that we did not see what happened prior to the clip starting.

However, what I did see was the reporter walking back to his truck and the cop following him. Then the reporter said aloud “keep shooting” to his camera man. That’s when the cop all of a sudden changed his mind and arrested the reporter.

See this is what I have a problem with:

It is NOT a crime to talk back to a cop. It is NOT a crime to even curse at a cop.

But time and time again I see cops getting all pissed off and then acting like jack booted thugs because of what someone says aloud.

If you are going to be a police officer you better have thick skin. I don’t buy this defense “hey man cops are human too!”

Too bad! The law is NOT an arbitrary thing. The law is not based off of emotion, the law does not convict based off of emotion. So yeah police need to not let their personal emotions make them all of a sudden arbitrary. If you can’t take the heat that comes with the job then it’s time to QUIT!

It’s no different than a US solider who volunteered for duty then gets mad when he or she has to go to war.

I agree with those that say ‘we didn’t see what happened before the clip started’.

However, this is what I have a HUGE problem with:

The reporter was walking back to his truck. Then he says aloud (to his camera man) “he can shoot if he wants to”.

That’s when the cop decided to arrest him.

Sorry but it is NOT A CRIME to speak aloud! It is NOT A CRIME to be sarcasitc or a smart a$$ to cops. It’s not even a crime to curse at a cop!

So all I saw here is what I have seen more and more: Cops letting their emotions get in the way of their actions.

The law is not based off of emotion. The law does not convict based off of emotion. And please don’t give me the tired old defense of “cops are humans too”. Too bad if your feelings get hurt or you get offended. Those two things are NOT against the law.

If you are a police officer and you are able to roused into anger to the point of becoming arbitrary it’s time to QUIT!

People have asked me “well do you expect cops to be robots???”
When it comes to their precious emotions or feelings or ego getting riled up because someone says something aloud, sorry that is a problem.

The law is not arbitrary, EMOTIONS ARE!

Well if this is the way professional police act in Texas then the sooner it leaves the Union the better for the US. Also Listening to all those red neck, right wing facists approving the cops manhandling of the reporter shows just how bad Texans really are, the absolute dregs of society.

Wow! I wonder what was in the truck they were filming? Maybe a truck load of illegals, huh?

The Sgt should go and arrest Mexican (ie citizens from Mexico) Drug dealers, gunrunners and all the other people standing on the freeway, including the man he had to walk by to arrest the TV guys. BET more drivers slowed to look at the pig then the TV people. Sgt should go find some coyottes to arrest for smuggling people into USA. And some child molestors or drug dealers on parol.

cop needs more booty.

That guy must of made the police officer mad. The police can make people move their vehicles off the roadway if they want to. If the vehicle was a hazard. If you haven’t been a police officer you probably have no idea what you are talking about.

hey from San Diego,
i’m with the cop on this one. crash sites are hectic at best, and reporters arent above the direction of a lawful order. when a cop (especially one at the scene of an accident) tells you to do something, you are required to obey. whether you like it or not.

i’d bet a dollar, the reporter had been directed to stay out of the way, pre camera recording, but decided to ignore that directive.)

those cameras have excellent zoom, so they coulda got lookie-loo shots from 100 yards away, and interviewed the witnesses after the emergency crew had finished their job…

what i saw was stupid childish arrogance on the part of the reporter and i hope the court gives him a time out in the corner of the room.

Good, let those liberal news media scum reap what they have sewn.

Hey guys, this good wook!

I take it that what all men are really after is some form of, perhaps only some formula of, peace. ~James Conrad
