Cop Threatens To Shoot Group Of Black Men For Filming Police (VIDEO)

[merrily]

1. Courts have held that photos or videos of police are a First Amendment right, aka a federal right, a

federal civil right.

Police threatening to shoot anyone for exercising a federal right have given grounds to "make a federal case out of it."

42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

If every person who has a right to sue under 42 US 1983 does sue, you will see local and state taxes go up. If that happens, I believe fervently that you would then see changes in behavior of local and state law enforcement.
