>A New York police officer has been stripped of his gun and badge after pointing his weapon at a man who was filming an arrest in Harlem. The bystander recorded the entire incident and posted the footage on Facebook.
>The video, which was recorded on Thursday evening, shows two plainclothes officers pinning a man to the floor in the lobby of an apartment building. One of the officers, who is wearing a black T-shirt, grows increasingly agitated with a bystander, later identified as Calvin West, who was recording the encounter. With the suspect still pinned underneath him, the officer draws his gun, points it at West, and repeatedly shouts "Back up!"
>In an interview with local TV news broadcaster NY1, West said the officer threatened him by saying, "Move. Get out of here. I'm not playing with you all. I'll shoot."
>Deloris Johnson, tenant association president of the apartment building where the incident occurred, told NY1 that the officer "held out the gun like he was one of them god damn gangsters or like a gang member."
>Another video, purportedly recorded moments prior to the gun pointing incident, shows the officer leaving the lobby of the apartment building and walking up to a young man, later identified as 19-year-old Jahnico Harvey, who is holding a cellphone. The officer punches Harvey and drags him to the ground. Harvey was reportedly charged with menacing and disorderly conduct, and issued a desk appearance ticket.
Nope. Usually these outraged anti-police people are retarded, but this guy fucked up and deserved to lose his job.

No they won't cunt. We realize that there are shit police officers who do idiotic stuff. But we don't generalize and say they're all "murderous nazis". This man deserves to be jailed for his idiotic actions. Can't believe he didn't just keep his cool and move along.
Blake Harris
Ha won't even make the news cause he's black.

>i can't breathe >:pulls gun: >back up ! holy shit that cop was pissed
Caleb Mitchell
Cop says back up, then you back up and film. I don't really feel sorry for an asshole getting in the way. Would have been shot in any other war zone for walking up on an arrest and ignoring the guys with guns, but we have to pretend the bad parts of a city aren't a dangerous place for cops.
where the fuck do you think you are? the cop pulled his gun a #blm faggot and righteously so.

Who gives a shit. You need to use policing tactics like that when dealing with hood niggers. He's in Harlem for crying out loud.

>Filmed an arrest >Left out the part where the cop was laying on his back exposed, and the guy coming up to them could have easily been armed

This.
Most of these faggots have never been in a fight.
When your adrenaline is pumping, it is very hard to if the person getting closer to you is a threat or just wants to watch.
I imagine it is very similar for a police officer dealing with someone who is resisting arrest.
