Sorry for the video issues from around 2:13 onwards. Video & Audio pick back up at 11:15 minutes.

Our police state at its finest. Officers last name is Escamilla from the L.A.P.D. I believe. Here he is shown pointing a gun at a peaceful reporter.

I'm not sure of the specific legalities of this but it sure isn't an example of what a public servant should be doing; point the gun foolishly or even participating in pro-police state idiocy. Be sure to like/share to get this information out.

The recorder of this video can be found on Twitter @OakFoSho.

3. Don't miss him live on bradblog radio today, kpfk.org, 3:30 PT I think.

I posted a thread in GD.

Yes, he rocks!

5. I watched it on the live feed. It was creepy. I hope displinary action is undertaken,

But I'm sure nothing will happen.

6. It is possible that the right people are already aware of this.

8. I'm sure they are aware of it, and I'm equally sure they

will treat it with the same urgency they have treated the near-killing of Scott Olsen and Kayvan Sabeghi and the wounding and hostpitalization of all the other innocent American civilians, which means, nothing will be done about it, because aiming guns at protesters, beating them, brutalizing them and even nearly killing them, is exactly what these cops are supposed to do.

The fact that not one of the criminals who injured peaceful protesters has even been identified yet, and that Scott Olsen has not been 'updated on the progress of the investigation of who nearly killed him', makes that pretty clear.

We the people have no police, they belong to Wall Street, and we do not have anyone protecting us, except for veterans like Scott Olsen.
