Cops = thugs with badges. That's all there is to it.

Bring it!

Stupid move = Desk duty for month

at :36 you can almost read his name. Maybe somebody with better eyes.

So if he's saying it as a person and not a police officer (as if he has that right) then it's a clear case of terroristic threatening

He is a real tough guy with his badge gun and attack dog.

In his spare time he probably tortures puppies and Kittens to show them who's boss.

Thugs like this need to be jailed to protect humanity.

An Agent of the ruling thug class.

I sent a short email to the agency.

this is assault, plain and simple.

I don't know the specific laws NY but I would imagine that like Florida where I live making a credible threat will being visibly armed with a firearm and a trained attack dog would easily constitute an aggravated assault.

I don't care what this guys previous accomplishments may or may not have been he should be arrested and tried as a common criminal. Losing his job should not even be open for debate.

"Then as a person you're under citizen's arrest for assault and impersonating a police officer."

It would be classy to give some credit to the original upload by ithadvideotoo on youtube.

yeah cause no one knows if you click on the video itself it takes you to the youtube page.

The annoying part is that it was wrapped in a container by either carlos or pixiq that threw an ad up in front before disappearing and showing the youtube player.

This is pretty much the attitude most cops have, and the reason lots of us groan when johnny law speaks up. Just because it's so rarely on camera, doesn't mean this isn't how the citizenry is treated daily.

I've heard a cop tell my friend "If you're fucking lying to me i will FUCK YOUR WORLD!"

When are the Police going to realize that they are not above the law. OH wait considering how seldom there is any prosecution of things like this they just may be.

This is just so far from being legal that there can be no possible justification. And you cannot legitimately claim you are speaking as just a citizen in uniform with your dog.

And to Stacky, while words alone don't usually rise to actionable, the courts HAVE ruled that they can be. It is clear that this officer commited several crimes, either official oppression or terroristic threats and assault.

As others have stated, these videos are not the exceptions, this has been going on for decades, its just now with the widespread availability of video cameras that the rest of us can see how bad these officers are acting.

Is it any wonder why fewer and fewer people respect the police and they are getting assaulted more? Not saying all the assaults are justified but some are. For example, you grab my camera I swat your hand away, assault, justified, but I still assaulted you. So not I'm the criminal. So when you count things like that, yep, assaults are up. I've never been arrested or in any real trouble, but I have seen some pretty over the top and illegal behavior from cops that leads me to have very little respect for them. As a profession, very little, individually, more so.

I've seen cases on COPS that I have to wonder, where is the probable cause? Why are you hassling that guy? And you are pissed because he didn't do what you told him to do? But you didn't order him to do anything you had a right to..

Good post Elliott

If i'm not mistaken this is NFTA officer David Capretto. Google search seems to confirm this, and seems to match the name on the badge. Or at least what i could make out from the video.

Worthless piece of shit, hope he is the next punk ass cop I hear about in the news that gets clipped in the line of duty! Bet that fat ass P O S wouldnt say squat if it wasnt for that stupid badge.

Easy wotzoo...

Then "AS A PERSON" you can be charged with your actionable threat and simple assault. right?

I just called the NFTA, speaking with their public relations person, “Mike.” I explained that I am 57 years old, and that Niagara Falls and the surrounding area WAS on my “bucket list;” but given the horrible treatment that I saw by the one officer, I am frankly scared to come to the area. To harass someone for doing something perfectly legal is not only wrong, but it paints a picture of Niagara as a place to stay away from!.

Mike responded that mine was not the first call they have received today, but it was one of the furthest (I am in Virginia Beach VA). I asked if they had identified the officer, he said yes, but that was all he could say. He went on to extoll the virtues of the area, but I told him that if the “rent-a-cops” are like that, and can get away with it, what are the real cops like?

He agreed, and went on to say this was an “isolated incident” and that it was being dealt with. He seemed genuinely impressed that I took the time to call. He did say that they have seen the video, and are as shocked and appalled as many of the callers have been.

I think they are getting our message!

Cheers!

Update on this article
From Injustice Everywhere http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/

The Niagara Frontier Transportion Authority officer in NY who is seen in the above video has been suspended for 2 days for cursing at & threatening the man who was taking that video of him last year.

why wasn't the cop charged with making terroristic threats and harassment??????

The actions of that NFTA cop does not surprize me one bit at all. I myself personally know how arrogant they are. Additionally, a 2 day suspension is a slap in the face to any average Joe or Jane of Buffalo.

Alright so I know I'm gonna get flak for this. But you know if this was a cop filming someone for minutes on end then everyone would be complaining that big brother needs to leave them alone. So where's the fine line between filming and stalking.

As long as police officers obey the laws they are sworn to enforce they deserve our support and respect. Police officers MUST be held to a higher standard as they are allowed to bear arms and arrest those who break the law. When a police officer breaks the law he or she deserves neither respect or support. Breaking the law they are sworn to uphold breaks the publics trust in them. Every police officer should understand that acts of lawlessness by police officers destroys the community support they rely on to do their job. Unfortunately many officers have an unbreakable 'us against all of them' attitude when it comes to civilians. If people will push for better laws that protect 'innocent law abiding citizens' rights,perhaps we will see a lot fewer examples of officers feeling they are above the law.
