Indeed, one such incident was just captured by Kory Watkins of North Texas Cop Block. When Watkins witnessed a young African-American kid being detained by the police, who one officer claimed had arrest warrants. Watkins took out his phone and started filming. At one point, another cruiser pulls up, and the officer inside challenges bystanders as to what they are doing there. When one activist responded with “making sure you don’t violate his rights,” the officer – not knowing he was being filmed – gets out of his cruiser and says; “What are you going to do if I violate his rights?” Almost immediately, he notices he is being filmed and retreats back into his police car. After almost 2 minutes, he slowly drove away. And THAT’S why you Film The Police.
