Exton, PA Cop Harasses Ron Paul Supporters during Sign Bomb (Calling all RP Supporters)

[Veterans for Paul]

That Cop needs to be knocked down a few notches... He apparently thinks he's God's gift to society, and I can almost guarantee his fellow officers think he's a D-Bag... I wouldn't trust him in a life or death situation, that's for sure

 

[Okie RP fan]

The people in the video were fine up until he asked him why he seemed angry and should have just started waving the signs right there on that sidewalk.

Next time, do not bother messing with the cops anymore.

PA is a whole other breed of American, police included.

How many times does anyone, not just the LEO but anyone need to repeat, repeat, repeat an answer to a question, question, question. Your attempt to change and ask the same question several times to hassle the LEO was just stupid, how many times have you heard the same words from your parents. My 10-year old daughter would understand about blocking the view of merging drivers. You were just trying to get that LEO ramped up. Good job showing your inability to understand a simple order. DON’T BLOCK THE VISION OF THE DRIVERS WITH YOUR BIG SIGNS. Maybe this was a setup, How lucky you are there was no accident caused by those signs. Is it worth getting people hurt just to ramp up a police officer. You best look at your priorities about safety of the public.

Allen Christian: We asked him 5 times if it was okay if we moved to a safer location and if that suited his preference but he dishonerably did not reply to our questions with nothing more than “IF I HAVE TO COME BACK WE ARE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM”. We never once were in dishoner. The Jackbooted thug just needed to get a fix on picking on someone, usually he gets away with it. This time he was COPBLOCKED!


From the raw footage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo77rvrHt1w It does sound like the young kid was asking the cop nicely if certain areas would be more acceptable to him. His response to a simple question to me kinda shows he wasn't looking for trouble, he was trying to find out specifically what the police considered a safer spot. The cops response is disgusting, he could have handled that situation much better being a professional dealing with the public. These were young people, you would think the police would want to be viewed role model citizens for all the people. You would think they would want people to willing respect police officers. Sadly when this type of police behavior occurs, nothing good comes out of it other then the continuation of the wedge driven deeper between the police and the citizens.

And to think we pay his wages...

Saw this linked on Twitter this morning, and my initial reaction was that the kid should have just shut up after the cop asked them to move. The interaction should have ended at that point. The cop definitely got carried away, but I'd probably have gotten pissed off too in his position.

We've had cops question us and tell us to stay off a median, but we were always respectful and didn't try to escalate things. Never had any real problems. If you want to pick fights and challenge the police, don't do it while representing Ron Paul.

I don't like seeing police who are supposed to serve and protect the public, treat the public with such utter disrespect.

Police don't serve and protect the public. They serve and protect the state. Ever notice how when a new court case is announced it's always "The State" vs so-and-so. If the police come to your aid against the bad guys, it isn't because they are interested in protecting you. It's to protect the interest that the state has in you.

^lol that was a nice shot of depression lol

Watched it again. I agree w/ the cop regarding his point about the visibility issue.

But it was his demeanor w/ the Subjects that created this problem. Fvck that cop.

At :39 the cop could have responded to the question about the grassy spots and told them where might be suitable, the interaction would likely have ended right then and there. But no. He's a government fvckhead bully.
