The documenter with the shades is being a bit of a douche to the officer here... but has reason to be upset. In this case, the officer is upholding the law as is his sworn duty and his job, however unjust. The issue should be taken up with those that made that (unjust) law that stripped the rights of citizens. There is so much this past weekend that never should have happened.

I agree...if you are put in this position you have to show that you're doing EVERYTHING you can to be polite and accomidate the police officers. I know it doesn't seem fair in anyway, however when you're trying to convince people of something it's best not to be rude or come off like a dick...or they might be happy when you get the shit tazed out of you.

When you're the nicest guy however no one except the most callous jackass can do anything but see that you were trying sincerely to be peaceful. Ever seen Stephen Fry...act like him in a situation like this, and if your rights are still trampled it won't seem like you instigated anything.

Police, the tools of the suits.

Public Works Protection Act is being used to identify individuals that are recording or reporting. This information can be used later on to confiscate any recoded evidence from the identified people. As we have seen from the other videos, the focus of the police was not the vandals, but the reporters and peaceful protestors.
