Can you explain to us what it was he did to attract their attention in the first place?
Like at what point in the video is a crime committed or at least suspected.
No, I can't but I'm guessing something happened earlier since the guys were already on the balcony with the video camera ready knowing something was about to happen.
Who knows what happened before they started filming. Still a lame video to put on youtube when nothing at all happened.
Lol well do you have any video I haven't seen? Something obviously happened before they started filming. There was absolutely nothing wrong in that video.
You aren' required to speak to a cop if you don't want to. If you're minding your own business and a cop has no reasonable grounds to suspect you of wrong doing, you can literally tell the cop to shove it.

This isn't China.
But you're presuming the cop has no reasonable grounds...we don't know what happened 5 minutes/hours/days before. Maybe he's a suspect in a robbery? Maybe he just beat someone up?
Obviously they were expecting some sort of confrontation and that's why it was being recorded.
wow they litterially cattle prodded him out of the building. How can officers just ignore peoples requests for Police identification or there rights, thats illegal.
Besides I thought Tazers were intended so officers could defend themselves from threatning situations as opposed to using live ammunition. The way Tazers are being used is not close to how it was intended.
Also the guy getting arrested for no reason but not giving his ID up quick enough was brutal, all he did was make a joke towards the guy on the bike.

If "Something obviously happened before they started filming", why were they sitting in the van for the first minute?
It's pretty clear what happened in the video -- some guy got pinched for riding his bike on the sidewalk, another guy walks by and he and the guy on the bike trade a couple wisecracks, and suddenly he's, I don't know, disturbing the peace or some made up crap.
It's right there. Maybe you should turn on your speakers? You'll hear the whole exchange.
It might be as popular as the famous "Another instance of hockey played on ice" thread in the other forum.
No, a more appropriate analogy would be a thread entitled "Kiprusoff let's in another goal"...
People want perfection in something that is impossible to perfect. Our laws allow police to conduct their jobs with force, the threat of force, and the threat of legal action. As a result, there will inevitably be some cases where an officer is unable to make a judgement call in the heat of the moment.
Unless we plan on asking police officers to only use the power of rhetoric when enforcing law and order, you can expect some cases of excessive force.
Police training in our country is exceptional, and so is the sytem of checks balances that tries to prevent and address these cases.
He didnt do anything illegal.
There was no reason for the Cops to arrest him at all.
He interfered with the job the police were doing. You can say the cops had no reason to arrest him but he had no reason to stick his nose in what the police were doing.
He was detained for acting like a doosh. I'll bet he was released a short time later.
And MacGruber, just because you can tell a cop to "shove it", there's rarely a reason (unless you're a doosh too) to do so.
Grow up.

the 'something' that happened was the guy on the bike rode onto the sidewalk from the corner to his friends front step. NYC's finest have nothing better to do than call in multiple officers for this heinous offense.

Yep, those bicycles on the sidewalk get the blood pumping to such a degree that reasonable judgment goes out the window
