witness restores video police deleted of an arrest:
Denver police accused of excessive force, illegal search | FOX31 Denver
Denver police accused of excessive force, illegal search | FOX31 Denver
A witness who recorded the August arrest on his Samsung Tablet tells Investigative Reporter Chris Halsne police not only seized the videotape over his objections, but when they returned it to him, the file was missing.
With the help of an electronic cloud, the witness recovered the 55 second video clip and provided a limited-use copy to FOX31 Denver for its investigation.
...
The videotape shows Evans holding down the suspect’s legs. A burly undercover officer can be seen bear-hugging Flores, lying on his side on the asphalt parking lot. Flores has his hands pinned behind his back.
Officer Jones can be heard yelling at Flores to “Spit the drugs out! Spit the drugs out!”
When Flores fails to open his mouth, Jones punches him with a closed fist six times in the face.
The videotape shows the suspect’s head bouncing off the pavement as a result of the force. FOX31 Denver also obtained exclusive pictures of Flores inside an ambulance a short time later, which show obvious trauma to his head and face.
...
While Officer Jones is punching Flores, the videotape captures the loud sounds of a woman screaming in Spanish for police to stop. A few seconds later, a visibly pregnant woman approaches the area where the officers are on top of Flores. Officer Jones reaches out and sweeps her feet out from under her. It appears on video, the woman, 25-year-old Mayra Lazos-Guerrero, falls hard on her stomach and face.
Officer Jones reported to a superior he thought the woman was going to kick him.
...
t is apparent from the videotape at least one of the officers sees Frasier. The word “camera!” can be heard on tape shortly after Jones punches Flores.
Frasier tells FOX31 Denver, officers on scene threatened him with arrest — demanded he turn over all photos and videotape to them, then seized his tablet over his objections.
“When he took it, I said ‘Hey! You can’t do that. You need a warrant for that!’ and he said ‘What program did you take the video with? Where is that?’” Frasier told Halsne in a recorded interview.
Frasier says police ignored his objections and dug through his personal photos without obtaining a court order.
Frasier: “The first officer that comes up to ask me about my witness statement brings me to the police car and says we could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way.”
Halsne: When they said we can do this the easy way or the hard way, how did you take that?
Frasier: “It was taken as ‘you can either cooperate and give us what we want or we’re going to incarcerate you.’”
Although official police reports mention an officer thought Frasier took video, there is nothing written about taking, searching, or possessing his tablet. That’s something Frasier swears occurred.
By the time the officer returned his tablet, Frasier tells Halsne, the video file was gone.
“I couldn’t believe it. My heart dropped. I know I just shot that video, like it’s not on there now?”
After Frasier got home, he tells FOX31 Denver he synched his tablet with his electronic cloud. Within a few moments, the video file reappeared. Frasier says it’s “possible” both he and the police officer who looked through his tablet “missed seeing” the clip inside his Tablet files. However, Frasier suspects, in reality, the clip was deleted either with intention or by mistake.

it is illegal to pick your kids up:
and this is what he did wrong:
he was sitting in a bank - a pulbic space, waiting for his kids to get out. Notice how the fat security gaurd didn't call about the other people sitting in the same area.
when leaving, a cop asked him for id and he refused, and that lead to the above arrest.
all his charges were dropped (trespassing, disorderly conduct, and obstructing legal process) and he's in the process of filing a lawsuit against the police.

Sheriff: We Need Armored Vehicles to Intimidate People
Here's why he says he needed one:
![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/current-events-news-politics-77/128276d1417017184-hero-warrior-cop-ready-get-roided-up-rape-drink-drive-6a00d83451bd4469e201b7c6fc5225970b.png)
Looks can be deceiving, though, and in any event the man, at least, certainly looks very angry. So maybe we can assume that he was considered dangerous and—
Oh. Well, we can't have that.
![](https://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/current-events-news-politics-77/128277d1417017184-hero-warrior-cop-ready-get-roided-up-rape-drink-drive-6a00d83451bd4469e201b8d0865d2b970c.png)
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (both photos by Ryan Lister), the armored car was sent as backup for the 24 armed officers that had already been sent to the not-dangerous-but-known-to-be-argumentative man's home. The reason for the commando operation: to collect on a civil judgment.
Roger and Marjorie Hoeppner live in Stettin, a tiny town outside of Wausau in Marathon County, Wisconsin. According to the Hoeppners' lawyer, his clients and the town have been litigating for years over the stacks of wooden pallets and other stuff in the Hoeppners' yard, some of which you can see above to the left of the urban assault vehicle. (Mr. Hoeppner has a pallet-repair business and restores antique tractors, the report says.) In 2010 the town claimed Hoeppner was not complying with a settlement, and took further legal action. A judge found in its favor, and after fines, legal fees, and a failed appeal, by October 2 Hoeppner owed the town about $80,000.
Neither the report nor the appellate opinion suggest that, up to this point, any of this was very unfair to the Hoeppners. They stipulated to a contempt judgment and had agreed to do certain things, and apparently just didn't. If that happens, at some point the sheriff will get called in to enforce the judgment. This is not about that.
This is about the 24 officers and the tank.
Armored car, technically, but it does have the extra-scary turret. And according to Cap'n Bean, that's why they need it: to scare people.
And remember why they were at the Hoeppners' house: to collect a judgment. The Hoeppners hadn't committed a crime, they just owed the city money. I've never actually had to try to collect a judgment, and I understand it can be difficult—sometimes you have to seize and auction assets, garnish wages, or stuff like that. But apparently the city didn't want to bother with all that:
Sheriff: We Need Armored Vehicles to Intimidate People - Lowering the Bar
"People may not understand why," said Sheriff's Capt. Greg Bean, "but an armored vehicle is almost a necessity now."
Here's why he says he needed one:

Armored car, technically, but it does have the extra-scary turret. And according to Cap'n Bean, that's why they need it: to scare people.
Bean also said the armored truck was summoned only after Hoeppner initially refused to come out of his house. Once the truck appeared, so did Hoeppner.
"I've been involved in about five standoff situations where, as soon as the [armor] showed up, the person gives up," saving time, money and increasing safety, Bean said.
This was followed by the "an armored vehicle is almost a necessity now" quote, so this seems to be why he believes it's a "necessity." But he had already admitted that Hoeppner was "never considered dangerous," so even if that argument held water in other cases, it doesn't here. If he's saying that cops need an armored vehicle so they can intimidate even people they do not consider dangerous, well, that seems like a good reason they shouldn't be allowed to have one at all."I've been involved in about five standoff situations where, as soon as the [armor] showed up, the person gives up," saving time, money and increasing safety, Bean said.

But apparently the city didn't want to bother with all that:
Bean said deputies had to handcuff Hoeppner because he was not following all their instructions, but did eventually agree to pay the $80,000 judgment after a visit to a bank — accompanied by deputies.
Wait—they arrested him, drove him to the bank, and stood there while he withdrew the cash from his account? Is that legal? Somebody help me out here. Because it sounds kind of like robbery.Sheriff: We Need Armored Vehicles to Intimidate People - Lowering the Bar

forget road rage, walking on a sidewalk makes police nervous:

“You were walking by,” the deputy said.
“Walking by and doing what?” McKean asked.
“You were making people nervous,” the deputy said.
“By walking by?”
“Yeah, they said you had your hands in your pockets.”

Man arrested; deputies say he aimed banana at them : News : CarolinaLive.com
A man is facing a felony menacing charge after two western Colorado sheriff's deputies say he pointed a banana at them and they thought it was a gun.
The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports 27-year-old Nathan Rolf Channing, of Fruitvale, was arrested Sunday.
According to an arrest affidavit, Mesa County deputies Joshua Bunch and Donald Love said they feared for their lives even though they saw that the object was yellow. Bunch wrote in the affidavit that he has seen handguns in many shapes and colors.
He wrote that Love was drawing his service weapon when Channing yelled, "It's a banana!"
The deputies say Channing told them he was doing a trial run for a planned YouTube video and he thought it would "lighten the holiday spirit."

Are College Educated Police Safer? - The Daily Beast
According to a 2006 report by USA Today, “In an analysis of disciplinary cases against Florida cops from 1997 to 2002, the International Association of Chiefs of Police found that officers with only high school educations were the subjects of 75% of all disciplinary actions. Officers with four-year degrees accounted for 11% of such actions.”

A Buffalo cop facing two years in prison for kicking a man in handcuffs in an incident captured on video was handed probation today on the condition that he will serve as a role model for other officers inclined to beat citizens.
John Cirulli also threatened to arrest the man who had video recorded the incident if he did not delete the footage, but that tidbit apparently wasn't part of the charges the 31-year-old was facing.
Cirulli, who resigned from the force shortly after video of the April incident went viral, admitted he took the man's phone, checked it for a recording and handed it back when he found nothing.
But that was only because the man who recorded the incident handed the cop a different phone that did not contain the recording, fooling the cop into thinking nothing had been recorded.
Thanks to that experience, Cirulli is now an authority on the "dangers of civil rights violations" and is working with the FBI in providing training sessions to other cops on what not to do.
Evidently, this is something that is not addressed in the police academy.
