Here's the original thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1773373 .

Turns out that sometimes, when you catch them in the act, you can actually shame them enough to make things happen.

"A car-mounted video camera — more commonly used by police than against them — captured a loud and threatening confrontation in this tiny St. Louis County community that left an officer on suspension and the whole world able to listen in.

The picture doesn't show much, but the audio part of the recording, posted on Google Video and YouTube on the Internet, brought more than 300 protest calls to St. George Police Chief Scott Uhrig.

"I was very displeased when I saw the actions on the video," Uhrig said. "My officers are not trained and taught to act like that." He put Sgt. James Kuehnlein on unpaid suspension pending further investigation."
