VIDEO: Proof of interference

As I watched this video my blood began to boil at the brazen interference this “citizen” exhibited. (https://youtu.be/okAruNvIM0I)

Not that many years ago this individual, who doesn’t even have the guts to identify himself on his pathetic video, would have been asked ONCE to back out of the area of this official police action as Sheriff Norris politely did.

In those days, had this “suspect” responded with “Shut the F up and get back to work” as he can be heard saying in the video, two things would have happened immediately. Another backup would have been requested and this suspect would be on the ground getting searched and cuffed for interfering with official police operations, whatever that required.

Just look what happened! The Sheriff was trying to watch the original officer’s back as they dealt with whatever was going on in the original vehicle that had been stopped. But then he had to divert his attention to this moron and his damn camera. And you can even see the original officer take his eyes off the driver to see what was happening behind him!

REALLY? Is that what we demand of our police officers now? What if this guy with the camera was affiliated with the guy in the car and was intentionally trying to distract the police officers. THAT’S HOW POLICE OFFICERS GET KILLED. People like that guy and his camera make me sick.

These are dangerous times. Stay well away and take your foolish videos from a distance and no one will say a word to you!
