I know you wouldn't do something as rash as the first one. The second one I was just wondering about the cameraman who was "interferring" apparantly. |
It's not one sentence that puts him in cuffs. And, getting put in cuffs isn't the end of the day. He's not going to jail. Imagine doing a powerpoint presentation for example. Someone gives you tons of info to put together. You plug it all into a computer only to have a virus that begins to delete all of the work. It continues and you can't stop it unless you unplug the computer. You need to get control of the situation. You unplug the computer and everything stops...info saved from here on out.
The officer, in a sense, did the same thing. It was obvious he didn't have control of the situation. He tried to break away from the crowd which followed him. The situation continued and he tried to stop those who kept interfering (the girl and boy). Then, to make sure all was okay, detained the camera kid as well...a temporary deal to ensure safety.
You might not think that was okay or right. I understand that you might not agree. But, the situation had to be neutralized in a sense. That's what he did and it stopped the situation.
IMO, the cameraman wasn't interfering.
