Cops Monitoring Cops
I’ve been following this guy lately. He’s a cop. His YouTube bailiwick is police misconduct, and his thing is to call out the bad behavior of cops, whether it is verbal intimidation, bullying, or breaking the law.
Click here to see him criticizing a cop for a tactic that you can see a dozen times a day on social media: trying to intimidate someone into submission when he has no legal right to treat the person that way.
I have several cop and ex-cop friends and acquaintances. One has told me stories about how, when he was new to the force, he was shunned by his fellow officers after he made it clear to them that refused to play this sort of game.
What’s interesting about the above exchange is that the layman is standing up for himself, quite strongly. By refusing to move as the cop presses up against him. And by raising his voice as the cop raises his. He is certainly within his rights to do so. But IMHO, this isn’t something I would do or advise anyone else to do. Keep in mind: If a cop feels justified in bullying you this way when you’ve done nothing wrong, you don’t want to find out what he feels justified in doing after you’ve pissed him off… if, for whatever reason, his body cam shuts off.
