Some here appear to carry this philosophy. I have no concept why this would or should be.
The third video has a telling moment, when the cop says he'll just arrest the subject and let them tell a judge about it tomorrow morning.
Reminding that they are "Law and order puppets, remote-controlled by greed", to quote Devo.

This, and the quote about how much it hurts not to arrest "them":

This just in! Comments section: Cops asquirm because lying and a phony felony charge didn't put DJ in jail! Don't even seem to understand that the NLG saw that the cop LIED. Only seem to care about arresting people.

His speaking of integrity is akin to when hookers accuse you of being a liar because you didn't tell them you were a cop. They can lie all they want but if you do, well that's just beyond the pale.

A cop's word no longer supports probable cause? Gonna be awful hard for arrests and warrants and such.

"Johnson, who was in Arizona Tuesday, said Luckman "kind of belittled me, and called me all types of names, but after his tirade, he said he wasn't going to send me to jail.""
Maybe he will sue the judge for defamation of character and another liberal judge will uphold the suit lol

And it starts.... What a douchebag. And the judge too.
Posted by jrlc48 on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 07:44 AM Pacific Report Abuse
Liberal judge, believing this scum bag over an officer.
Remember there, the NLG and several people saw the cop LIE. Why aren't they upset at one of their own besmirching the very law they are supposed to represent?
NYPD vs. CPD: How Police Deal With Press and Protesters
Before the New York Police Department raided Zuccotti Park last year, officers on the scene asked everyone with an NYPD-issued press pass to raise their hand. Most complied, believing they were identifying themselves to officers who would allow them to remain and do their job unimpeded. Instead, those who showed their passes were escorted to a press "safety zone" several blocks away. Photographers and writers who remained (myself included) would later find themselves physically threatened, removed or arrested.
