Checking through his listing of "altercations" you'll find where the cops took a number of news cameras.

Cops wonder why the everyday citizen either doesn't want to cooperate or is suspect of the dealing with the police. Putting more pressure on the citizenry to comply with any action on their part is not helping their case.
Not to say that there aren't good cops out there, but this trend of police officers to arrest people who are simply filming them isn't sitting well with me.
Here all this time I thought in America my land was my land. I guess it's my land until the cops decide to walk right on it and arrest me.
I particularly enjoy the part where the cop seemingly just says screw it I'm just going to arrest you because I can.

"Wow!" is right, unbelievable
I like few cops, those that I do, I love like brothers.
This guy gives a new meaning to "protect and serve".

As an LEO, I do not understand taking someone's cell phone or camera or whatever. I know a few states, like Maryland, have laws prohibiting the videoing of officers in the conduct of their duty. I have been taped many times. It never bothered me. If someone was making me nervous, I just keep an eye on them. If they start interfering with whatever I am doing, yes, they are going to jail.
As with most clips of this nature on the internet, there is some context that is probably missing. The girl did state that the one being arrested from the traffic stop was her friend. What else was going on in the area at the time? Does NY have a similar law to Maryland? Too many questions to make a certain judgement of wrongdoing on the officer's part.

I would say that if a soldier was caught abusing civilians they would go to jail or some other form of punishment.
It's looking like Cops are getting a pat on the back from the Mayor and some drinks after work for doing the same thing.
With the explosion of phone cameras and small cam-corders are we begining to see the true face of our neighborhood police?
There does not seem to be much outrage from supervisors and civilian leadership in the locations where this is happening.
What ever happened to Officer Friendly?

That almost seemed like an episode from the Twilight Zone.
The woman was a little bit of a butthead. She almost seemed as if she wanted to argue a bit with the officer.
But, the officer was way out of line. I do not believe that he actually thought of the woman as a threat. The only threat that I could see was the camera which was not his nor under his control.
I can understand his reluctance to being filmed since the majority of the public has not walked a foot, never mind a mile, in a police officer's shoes and almost always misinterpret what they see. But this officer is going to have to become less camera shy or find a different line of work.
Damn near everyone has a cell phone that takes video as well as still shots. If you are not doing anything wrong, what do you really have to worry about?

That is a broad brush you're painting with.
