Yeah, the locking Campbell in handcuffs for "not following a direct order" pisses me off so much.
One of the biggest problems with policing in the United States is the screening process. Cops who get upset when citizens don't follow instructions, to the point of putting them in handcuffs, should never have been police officers to begin with.
Because they play in Miami, I doubt that Hill or Campbell pursue legal action, but I wish they would, especially Campbell.
I also feel like any law enforcement official that threatens someone recording their actions should be fired. It is absolutely legal to film police officers doing their job, and when an officer threatens to confiscate the camera, or arrest or handcuff the person recording, it should be a violation of the law, or at the very, very least, against department policy and worthy of termination.
