A trio of Miami cops allegedly arrested a man and charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest for simply filming his police encounter. Emmanuel David Williams says he was taken to the ground and beaten for attempting to document his interactions with police while his ex-girlfriend was retrieving her belongings from his apartment. He has the video to prove it.
According to the Miami New Times, the news agency which accessed the official police reports, several officers took Williams to the ground and began their violent arrest because Williams put his phone too close to one officer’s face.
Unfortunately for the officers, at least a portion of the interaction was caught on Williams’ video camera. In the video, Williams can be seen backing away from the officers who actually made him cross the street while his ex-girlfriend retrieved her belongings from his apartment. He recorded the officers’ names as officers Hernandez, Allen and Gonzelez. Officer Gonzalez was particularly perturbed at Williams recording him in the line of duty and threatened him. He stated if he got any closer with his cell phone the two would have “problems.”
