Abuse of Power, Or Not?

http://www.noob.us/miscellaneous/cop...d-for-nothing/

What's your take on this? For me, I can understand why the cop decided to pull the kid over, I'll give him that. But he was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and abusing his power.

Now, here's another video that, imo, the officer was doing the right thing and was more professional.

The officer should be put on trail for abuse of power. We need to make an example of this officer. No one should be abused and frightened in this way. The officer could have just ask this person to move on, leave.

That clicking noise is really annoying, but not as annoying as that cop on a powertrip.

This is what Americans have asked for by always giving the police the benefit of the doubt. We can now be arrested for "something that [the cop] will make up." This is just an example caught on video.

honestly, with all of these police officers who have been beating, killing, and torturing people without a legitimate cause in the last year or two, this kid really lucked out he was just threatened.

Most cops are decent guys doing a hard job. Some cops are bully boy power freaks who like to tell people what to do because of twisted psychological needs. A small number of cops are just crooks hiding behind a badge.

What's your take on this? For me, I can understand why the cop decided to pull the kid over, I'll give him that. But he was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and abusing his power.
My take is that it's a fake. WTF was the kid doing driving around with the cam on, then parking? And then "just by chance" a cop questioned him?
Smells like a set-up to me.

I concur, and depending on where you live, you'll see more or less of one of the three you mentioned.

It's not a fake. This made the news last year, and the officer was being investigated.

Well, I'll take one out of two. Not a fake, but def a set-up
More power to the kid. (I know, 20 is not exactly a "kid", but I hate the term "young adult", and he's less than 40% of my age....)
