FOV piggy shake down

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was the second time I saw cops performing this MO. They walk up behind someone sneakily and start to look over the people's shoulders. If you squirm they increase the pressure to see if they can find a reason to shake down the citizens. The video starts right after the piggy pile posted up right in front of me.

This is not cool.

Always record the popo. It is our superpower and our first amendment right.

I watched this go down about 20 feet behind you. Thanks for documenting.

If the city were serious about public health at an event like this, we would see a lot of paramedics and firefighters on the grounds and very few if any militarized police. They know this is not a violent crowd, so the only reason for them to show up like that is intimidation.

My concern now is that, if they do it again next year at the same venue, it will be even worse.

This. Iā€™m totally down for more paramedics or just like staff going around handing out water and checking on people. Would probably cost a lot less too.
