Anybody following the story of the part-time uber driver who is also an attorney in Wilmington, NC? Brief summary:
The cops pulled him over (5 of them) for allegedly picking someone up from a "drug house" and started harassing him for filming them, they call him a jerk, and they completely make up a lie that there is a new law that just passed that says you can't film the police, then they get the drug dog to sniff his car and of course the dog reacts (and an officer taunts the guy when this happens) so they search and find absolutely nothing....all of it is on video.
Here is the good part....Wilmington PD chief said they are investigating the incident and invited citizens to please record the police. I can't believe people think they can get away with this kind of stupidity, but I guess they have in the past.
Update on the retired LEO who shot the man in the theater:

He deserves to.
Likely not the best way to act at your sentencing hearing...

That is a bit of a head scratcher. I've seen the video and can't explain where the issue would be.
The most damning evidence was where he picked up the Taser and placed it next to the body. Based on that alone, the defense had no defense when they keep saying "well, the perpetrator got control of and tried to use the Taser on the officer."
Freaking night school educated rookie lawyer could blow that out of the water with a single question.
"Why did you do that?"
And guilty.
That dude was not helping himself by acting like a child.
He did what he had to do to get his points in before the lady could distort the message. Fact is that the media and the police used the video from the following morning to paint a picture that leads the viewers to believe that Mike Brown just walked up and snatched some cigarillos for no damn reason. Now we know that there is a back story.
It also makes you question the original narrative of the shooting. I mean, if they would lie about the incident in the store before he was shot, what makes you think they couldn't have lied/distorted the narrative behind his encounter with Darren Wilson?
