I hope the cop was wired.

Cops like that need a little card to hand out to people that reads, “I am a police officer. I have a gun. I have a badge. I have a uniform. I have a police car with a big insignia on the door and lights on the roof. I’m king shit. You ain’t nobody, get used to it.”

Lot of courage to make that video. Glad the gal doing it did not get arrested herself. Kudos to her and to B Hamilton for daring to video.

The incident reads almost as if it came from the script I’ve been suggesting. Make a living from a system as a means to bring about system change. It will take a while, perhaps years, but Hamilton will make some money from this incident.

All filth should be required to wear a headcam with HD picture and sound that streams live to the web, after all, if they are doing nothing wrong then they have nothing to hide. What I really want to see is a member of the filth with a headcam who goes and tells someone to stop filming/taking pictures, if that happened it would just help me cement my opinions of these fucktards.

Perhaps Judge Fernandez can help fairly and impartially adjudicate this matter. I hear he has experience in such things.

Also, thank god for the video!!!!

Yeah, it probably prevented that poor cop from being viciously attacked!!

What arrogance. How do I install a camera system in my car?

On a side note Carlos, I saw a comment from Craig Newmark (creator of Craigslist) that I think applies to you.

I come here for stuff I don’t see anywhere else and am never disappointed. You’re the man.

Thers a number of vidio systems for autos, one comes to mind that had 3 or 4 cameras and covered all angles, in and out of the car, that was about $1000.oo. I do not have a site for them, you might Google it.

This is an old article from 2006, but it highlights the abuse of the bogus “resisting without arrest” charge.

I had just seen this on The Injustice News Feed in my RSS reader and then I scrolled down and it’s here too. I figured it would be since it happened in your own back yard.

Arresting someone for asking for a badge number is just stupid. The cop needs to spend a night in jail and then be fired.

Police puke.

If that’s resisting arrest, we’re all fucked.

Thanks, John.

Anyone with common sense can see there was NO resisting arrest. He was dumbfounded but not resisting.

I love how cops still choose to do stoopid things when they know they are being taped.

That is so fucking wrong. He should be arrested like the criminal he is. Fucking cop….more like a thug. But alas, nothing will happen.

Well, I would have loved for the officer to explain trespassing… The Officers have no right to private property either unless investigating the suspicion of a crime or immediate cause for safety of life or property. Great video and a keeper. An officer IN uniform is NOT a private citizen and should not be offended to produce ID unless of course there is underlying concern by the LEO that to do so would somehow identify himself for later reprisals. Hope he gets what’s coming to him, this is a clear VIOLATION of RIGHTS and an abuse of power.

And then they need to be fired.

They work for US. They serve US. THEY ain’t nobody, and THEY need get used to it.

More likely it prevent the victim from being viciously attacked. That is what cops do when the “normals” don’t bow down and kiss their feet.

Hang on a minute, while the cop is certainly out of order. shouldn’t the guy not have leant against the patrol car in the first place? A buddy of mine has done a lot of sjit in his time but never been arrested. His formula for success: “I always say sorry and I always call them sir.”

Its punk cops like this I just LOVE to hear about in the news that get clipped in the line of duty! What a total POS.

ask yourself if it is a crime first?

Of course it’s not a crime! At the same time, ask yourself the same question this cop (whose subsequent actions I do not condone) asked Hamilton… How would you like it if I leaned my ass on your car?

It’s not the cop’s car. He can’t claim personal ownership and egotistical threshold over something that belongs to the taxpayers. My ass get to go on anything my tax dollars pay for.. Including that cop’s face.

If you actually listen to the video, it’s because he was trespassing on FEC property. The cop says so near the end and you can hear it. He clearly states he IS NOT arresting him because of the guy asking for his badge number.

What it looks like to me is that this guy had already been doing something, then he provoked the officer to get arrested on video. Now he thinks he is cool because he is “famous”. The motive sounds familiar to a story involving a boy in a balloon…

What a dick!

I’m sure you’ll be vindicated when once again all charges are dropped and Florida’s tax payers end up having to make a sizable deposit in Mr. Hamilton’s bank account.

I used to jump to the cops defense as knee jerk as yourself… but it’s not paying off these days with the amount of brain dead, juiced up, arrogant, overly aggressive asshats being allowed to wear a badge these days

That’s a cop being an asshole. I think people are tired of cops being assholes to them. I think you are a cop too.

And his mugshot is here:

And all the leftovers from the meat grinder Iraq/Afghanistan wars are the new cops. They just finished killing civilians there and have to continue the aggression here.

Sad but ture.

There has to be some way to keep these small, pathetic, people from becoming cops. If not, then we need to rethink the entire institution. Thugs with badges isn’t working.

Cops; if you don’t want to be hated as corrupt thugs w/o accountability, behave professionally, and stop defending bad cops.

Uh-huh. Trespassing on FEC property. That’s why the actual listed charges saying nothing about trespassing, but say “RESIST/OBSTRUCTION, MUNICIPAL/CITY ORDINANCE, DOI”

sir,

is this it?

i gotta agree with the langue d’oc guy. saying it belongs to the tax payers is like me robbing the post office and replying that i was just taking stuff that i paid for.

he should not have leaned against the guy’s car. after all, he is responsible for it. sounds to me like had he not leaned against the guy’s car, this would not have happened.

Actually Rick, I don’t think his ass stole any of the paint off the cop’s car. Sorry bad metaphor.

Since I like this blog and to show respect for Carlos I won’t say what I want to to you, other than I think you are a complete idiot.

Spooner, any big city cop who stands up and does the right thing is going to get the “Serpico” treatment. He’d best not be putting in any time at the firing range or there’ll be an “accidental shooting.”

I witnessed an off-duty South Beach cop cut off another driver and then leap from his private car to scream at the innocent driver that he ought to arrest him. I told the other driver I’d be glad to testify as a witness at which point the cop turned on me and threatened me with arrest. I think only the presence of a dozen witnesses prevented our arrest.

The power over others seems to attract these jerks to policing.

I’ve lived all over the USA, and trust me, those BSO cocksuckers are the worst I’ve seen yet.

Had one tell me straight up, that if I was anywhere near a burglary, he was gonna scoop me up and pin it all on me. I was 19 years old. Never looked at a police officer the same way ever again.

Police are PUBLIC SERVANTS, with the common motto, “Protect and Serve”. Remembering that, any police officer should remember where his paycheck comes from. Due manners to the citizens will get more cooperation than attitude. There have been enough versions of the experiment on authority versus captivity/class and discrimination. The results SHOULD insure that officers need better training before they let the uniform own them, rather than their responsibility to the community by wearing the uniform.

(Unless, of course, his department has been privatized out to Blackwater?XE or KBR. We have seen how they handle their responsibilities.)

This is why we need mandatory drug tests for police officers whenever they are involved in incidents like this. Roid rage is not pretty.

Ft. Lauderdale Police have long been known for having more in common with the criminals on the streets than the citizens they protect. This cop is really no different than any of the other douche nozzles running around with a badge and a gun. It’s not about justice, it’s about their EGO– and nothing else. The cop could have said, please don’t lean on my squad car- he could have asked him to move- a thousand different ways that could have yielded other results- but he approached him as an instigator- and using his badge and gun as his back up to his ego. This guy should be fired- and everytime something like this happens- they should be fired- until we get the change in behavior that is needed. As long as we the people accept this- it will surely be excercised over us.

I’ve been saying for a long time that those mottos on the police cars should be changed to say “To Protect and Serve Ourselves”.

“To Protect Ourselves and Serves Whoever Signs Our Paychecks”

NBCMiami.com is reporting that the officer involved has resigned.

You know, “taking out the trash, preemptive strike, flushing the toilet”, etc. Maybe the standup ones should take care of business and do the public some good. Accidents can happen to anyone.

With all of the witnesses present, he should have been challenged. His stupidity would have probably sealed the fate of his career.

Na Na Na Na.
Na Na Na Na.
Hey Hey.
Goodbye.

Step 1 complete. Now he need to do some time in GenPop with some of the people he put away.

Don’t drop the soap, pig.

They did the same thing to my daugher and my son in front of my house with cameras also one of the Soccoras , brother because their are 3 of them and all cops and guess what Internal Affairs , State Attorneys did not do anything which i have the Video of the arrest and guess what they don’t care. They all work together
