Chicago police draw guns on videographers in car: BLOCKED on Youtube

I have reposted this as a favor to everyone protesting in Chicago against the NATO summit. The original Youtube URL was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpU6iTNIP4Y , but the video came up as "unavailable" in the browser. Specialized downloading tools could still get the file, so I've reposted it here.

    • @fotoman4u2 Yeah-you put cops in a group and all of them seem to be limted to the IQ of whoever has the least. Pointing guns at people you have no right to shoot is REALLY reckless, hope none of them were dumb enough to put their fingers inside the trigger guards.

  • Amazing the video started with the cop approaching the car. Sure would like to see and hear what transpired before the stop.

    • @zenshiva Cops don't like being videotaped. It was just days ago that a court threw out a law the Chicago PD wanted to use to charge anyone videoing them with felony wiretapping, and they are still sore about that.

  • in all fairness maybe they thought the camera was a weapon? If you were stupid and scared you might think so. When you said "CHICAGO" though all bets are off, most corrupt city in America.

  • UPDATE: Some users are reporting that the video is now playing on Youtube. It appears that Youtube is imposing a delay of hours to a day or so on some but not all videos from Chicago, something they also did during the Bank of America board meeting protests in Charlotte, VA.

    Problem was NOT the use of an ad/tracking server blocking file in /etc/hosts, and was NOT the use of Tor to block "browser fingerprinting" possibly used by Google for cookieless tracking. If that was the issue, al More..

    • @LSDforuandme If the occupants of the car had been "beards," those cops would have gotten one hell of a surprise, finding they had bit off more than they can chew! Few US cops, with cop equipment, would be able to sucessfully continue an attack against the sort of fighters who would be known as "beards" in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

      Shit-US antiwar protesters, peaceful unless provoked, turned out to be fighters enough to pierce police lines on Sunday when cops attacked the mai More..

    • @LSDforuandme Normally I would prefer to bail out of a car and fight on foot, due to the fact that cars cannot ram sideways and the engine block is better cover, but there is not always time for that. There ARE ways to defeat an ambush if the vehicle is not forcibly stopped by hard obstacles or traffic. If stationary, yes, your only chance is to bail out the the side opposite the line of the ambush. If you can get MOVING, it is a different story entirely. Full throttle for 30 seconds, that targe More..

  • Thanks for the upload. I'll spread it too. It would be great if the cop could be exposed and all his info posted online. These people in uniform don't serve us. They are in love with control.

    • @fotoman4u2 No, I know that. Sure, some cops are decent, but those that disobey the Constitution are not. They are traitors. Cops that are secular humanist, don't serve us. Why do you have a Templar avatar?
