A bully of a Washington D.C. cop named C.C. Reynolds tried his best to intimidate a man from video recording officers piling on top of a man on the sidewalk, claiming it made the videographer part of “the investigation,” even though the man was standing about 50 feet away.

Oozing of arrogance and insolence, Reynolds claimed the sidewalk was not public, ordering the man to leave, then claiming he could confiscate the camera as “evidence.”

Andrew Heining, the man with the camera, did a good job of standing up for his rights, even though it was clear that Reynolds was itching to get physical with him, at one point even grabbing the man’s bicycle and then trying to move him closer to the scene in typical contradictory cop style.

Reynolds spent several minutes harassing Heining, demanding identification, peppering him with questions as a couple more officers walked up and joined in the thuggery.

Reynolds eventually taped off the entire sidewalk with crime ribbon to keep Heining away, ignoring several other citizens walking inside the perimeter without cameras.
