Have you ever thought of videotaping police officers to document their actions? As a concealed weapons permit holder, I know I have. Did you think that you could be beat up and arrested for doing it? Check out this story of that very thing happening. video source: http://youtu.be/l-qWNqOjsW8 Uploaded by TheMitchellCrooks on Apr 26, 2011 Contact Chris Tomaino Lt. IAB (702) 828-3422 (702) 828-3422 Detective Gina Chandler, (702) 828-3206 LV metro police SE division or, (702) 795-3111 and demand Derek Colling be fired and prosecuted. This is the original Footage from march 20th 2011. shot on my canon HD AH X1 on my friends property. This is only 4:25 of the 43 minute tape. The camera and tape were damaged. The Tape was scotched taped and crumpled up. I had to have a professional fix it. I exerted my rights and that made Derek Colling violate my rights. I have NOT made any money on the tape. I tried to sell the footage at first but, it went Viral and I do Hold the copyright of it now. I contacted media in vegas to sell it but, nobody wanted to show it even. I understand that people have used it to show the injustice and beating I took by LVMPD. If you really want to help, send people to this link. I have asked that people respect my copyright. I have asked but, have NOT gotten any money for selling this video. More to come, Trust me. Was a crime committed? Nope. And despite the Las Vegas Police Department admitting the officer's actions "violated several Metropolitan Police Department policies," the officer is probably not going to be punished! Amazing, isn?t it? A cop can grab a guy and beat the snot out of him for the simple act of operating a video camera, yet he may not even get fired. It's possible that all he will get is a 40-hour unpaid suspension. Now get ready for the worst part? "He's been on paid "administrative leave" for 4 months! I should tell you, I have several friends in law enforcement. I've done ride-alongs with them, and witnessed firsthand, from their perspective, what a tough job they have. And I deeply respect them for doing that job, because I think we need more constitutionally-minded law enforcement officers. But this Las Vegas incident is yet another example of the ever-growing police state that you and I live in. In a mad rush to make our country safer, police departments are using strong-arm tactics that go far beyond their moral and legal boundaries. I think Ben Franklin put it best when he said that "those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." I don't want to lose our freedom in exchange for some perceived temporary safety by creating a police state, and I know you feel the same. Can you imagine if the guy in the video had been carrying a firearm? The cops would probably have branded him as a "terrorist," or worse, they might have simply shot him as a matter of course. Today it's a random guy with a video camera. Tomorrow it could be you. For Freedom, Dudley Brown, Executive Director P.S.
