Free Thought ProjectA video posted to facebook today shows two belligerent cops assault a man and his mother.
The man filming is Richard Phillips who was at his mother’s house today when two Wareham, Massachusetts police officers, Chandler and Verhaegen showed up at the door.
It is unclear as to why the officers were there, but they were questioning the mother and she responded by saying she was “drinking strawberry milk and smoking a cigarette.”
Phillips clearly announces that he is filming as required by Massachusetts state law when interacting with police.
However, this does not stop officer Verhaegen from barging in and grabbing at Phillips’ camera.
During the forced entry into the house, the officers struck Phillips’ mother in the face.
Phillips then dials 9-1-1 to report to the uniformed gang members that there are uniformed gang members at his house.
About halfway through the video, officer Chandler is seen holding his foot against the door, not allowing Phillips’ mother to shut it.
At this point the officers state that they are not there for an arrest which could make the unauthorized entry into the house, illegal.
The Free Thought Project has contacted the Wareham Police Department and they have declined to comment on the incident. We have also reached to Richard Phillips but have yet to receive a reply.
Below is the video. What are your thoughts on it?
Another shining example of in your face violations of the law. Do you want to know when this kind of bullshit is going to end? When the cops start finding themselves getting fired upon from people rightfully protecting their home from these gestapos that believe they are above the law.
Are THEY going to keep pushing until we push back..and than cry when we do?
you becha!
watch for it
Install Cameras on your homes people..and hide them, also inside your home..and put the DVR someplace where they cant find it.
I install these units, they will never find all of my cams, and they will never find My DVR
you wont always have time to hold your phone and get these pictures or video..best have a system in place for when you have your hands full..and it will also catch the cops off guard
wonder when the Supreme Court will rule video will not be allowable in court?
its coming , they have to support their gestapo ..watch for this too
Tom,am in full agreement with video security in home/car,hell,small enuff now(tech works both ways!)even if you feel the need have a device upon you,once made illegal more reason then ever to film.
how about just kill anything that barges in your abode?
About halfway through the video, officer Chandler is seen holding his foot against the door, not allowing Phillips’ mother to shut it.
