Ferguson: video shows Darren Wilson arresting man for recording him

Video footage has emerged showing Darren Wilson – the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri – threatening and arresting a resident who refused to stop filming him with a cellphone.

Wilson is seen standing near his Ferguson police SUV and warning Mike Arman: “If you wanna take a picture of me one more time, I’m gonna lock your ass up.” Arman, who had requested Wilson’s name, replies: “Sir, I’m not taking a picture, I’m recording this incident sir.”

The officer then walks to the porch of Arman’s home and apprehends him, after telling him that he does not have the right to film. The 15-second clip was uploaded to YouTube on Friday but recorded in 2013, according to police documents.

I think we need to start giving police officers periodic written tests to determine how much law they really retain...

I hated all these cameras at first but now I'm glad they're being used to record officials and that it exposes the power trip a lot of these gestapo are on.

At least he didn't shoot this guy and it doesn't prove he deliberately murdered Brown. I think all cops try to stop recording. This video DOES prove that he's kind of a power tripper who doesn't seem to like people not replying, YES, SIR! to him and immediately kow towing to him.

Didn't his squad car have a camera? Do we have any audio from it or did it mysteriously disappear?
