LEO have rights too. He had alot more patience than I would expect from anyone.

I am going to award douche nozzle awards to pretty much everyone, protestors and troopers, in the video. The trooper lost his cool and knocked the phone out of the persons (man? woman? I can't tell) hand. That was wrong. The self-absorbed, whiney, malcontent protester is out there being a self-absorbed, whiney, malcontent and probably hoping to start an incident. Also wrong. The female LT telling the person to lower their voice when no reasonable person would say the level of voice was inappropriate was wrong and her statement that the 1st amendment give you *reasonable* free speech is laughable. But then the protesters trying to make some huge civil rights case out of this incident is also laughable. Also, it doesn't look good that the OHP gave the appearance of refusing to give out their names. Even if nothing comes from this it paints a bad image and says "what we did was wrong but we won't let you take lawful action against it". Not that that's what happened but perception is reality in many ways.

So just to re-cap: douche nozzle awards all around. Still doesn't rise to Biggest Douche In the Universe though....that's still held by John Edward...maybe Bono by now

I really wish he had just told the idiot that the twitt was interfering with the officers official duties and please step back. And after the little twitt did not do it take him down and cuff him for interfering with a police officer performing his official duties. Now twitt looks to be in the right and the trooper in the wrong. I am not saying the trooper was wrong, just that now he looks to be in the wrong. I spent 40 years working around law enforcement and have the greatest respect for them.

If these idiots can get your goat and make you react so you look bad they have won!

I agree. Probably can make the argument that they shouldn't have been so close. However, I don't really see how the protesters were interfering with the troopers duties. They were standing the requested distance away. But like the old saying goes, when you fight with a skunk, no one comes out smelling good.

Could we get some more video of the Lady Trooper? I wish she had slapped that punk.

The Trooper was just pissed because he tried to get off that new road on one of the downtown exits, like Walker or Harvey.

I'm without sound at the moment so I can't hear what's being said, so what justification does the officer have in slapping the camera out of that kid's hand?

I can see that kid looked like he was just being a penis, but it appears the officer reacted out of anger rather than an act of upholding the law.

at least he could have put on a glove.

Edit: that's a man?!

First time I met you I thought this same exact thing... Lol, sorry I couldn't let such a great opportunity go to waste.

Looks to me like the little punk was trying to start trouble I think his wish should have been granted in a mighty way. I wonder how that little punk would fair starting trouble in a cell

The officer with the mustache should've come unglued on the chick with the scarf. Just out of nowhere and seen if he could get him to cry. Quick question who is the guy shooting the video because he needs an arse kicking too.
