    I just viewed the clip on YouTube, with everyone today carrying a camera in their pocket the future is looking bleak for any cop who decides to throw his weight about, any such cop who isn’t aware of this fact shouldn’t go into a state of shock if their boss slaps their p45 onto their desk, the camera is nailing rogue cops in the u,s every day now, and this is good, because the rotten ones need to be rooted out before they get a chance to rot the others
