This is a fine example of why

This is a fine example of why citizens should not only be allowed- but encouraged- to record all encounters with law enforcement. These kinds of incidents occur countless times every day all across the country (I've had first hand eperience myself) - yet the thin blue line ensures that the perpetrators are rarely held acountable for their actions. In many cases, the abusive officers are actually *promoted* even after a pattern of abuse comes to light.
The news accounts state that Officer Rivieri is a 17 year veteran of the Baltimore PD. I wonder how many complaints have been filed against him during that time- and what actions (if any) were taken in response?
And how many more people would this loser be harassing if that kid hadn't had the presence of mind to turn on his camera?
