Cop Threatens Innocent Pregnant Woman and Her Fiancé with a Shotgun for Filming Them

[marmar]

Memphis, TN – A video uploaded to Facebook yesterday afternoon, is causing serious backlash against the tactics being used by police to serve an arrest warrant.

As the video begins, several heavily armed men can be seen arresting a man who appeared to be fully compliant with their instructions. Within seconds this “typical” arrest would become yet another example of the incredulous behavior we so often see in the Police State.

As the camera pans upward, one of the men noticeably has his weapon trained on the man filming the incident. The man filming immediately asks them why they have a gun pointed in his direction, to which one paranoid cop replies, “So we don’t get shot.”

The man who uploaded the video, identified as Corterian Bay Wright, according to his Facebook page, responds by informing the militarized force that he was the one that brought the man being placed under arrest to the door. While having a shotgun aimed directly at him, he continues to plead with the heavily armed thugs to “Put the guns down.” ...................(more)

1. Smile, dangerous cop. You're on candid camera.

2. Damn...

Look how they're walking away, still pointing the weapon on the innocent in the house.

Wtf!!!

[Faux pas]

3. Militarized

ASSHOLES. That is all.

4. Okay, I'm with the cops on this one

Looks like proper police procedure to me. Cover your guys while they make an arrest. They had no idea what was in that house. And I saw no disrespect to anyone. When the guy was in the car and being driven away, they put up their weapons and departed as well.

And the guy in the house threw out the "race card" for no apparent reason.

7. You do not aim a gun at a person unless you intend to kill them.

Even the military knows to keep the muzzle off of people. That this man felt to the need to keep his loaded gun aimed at unarmed people shows that he considered them subhuman. He's clearly a racist POS.

8. This was an arrest, not a SEAL death squad raid.

9. Pointing the weapon right at people seems out of whack

to me. Seemed like a peaceful arrest. Hard to believe drawing down on someone holding a phone is SOP.

5. Any follow up from the city?

Other than:
"The officer feared for his life"

6. What an ass!!

10. This is how a situation like this escalates

There is no reason to have a gun pointed at anyone filming this. Suppose someone there did have a gun and saw this guy pointing his weapon towards them and feared for their life?
