Cop BlockA military drill conducted in plain view of the public reasonably creates a spectacle and raises curiosity. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that in the age of technology, some people who happen to be hanging around in public, might film a military drill taking place in open public. This man was detained as a result. (This is a long video – go to 13:00).
As the man points out, he is standing on public property, and the enforcers do not dispute this. However, this video demonstrates what the government knows, and ordinary people are usually too naïve to understand – public property doesn’t mean the public or taxpayers own it, or that they have rights to it. It means the government owns it, and they make the rules.

OK why would you walk into the middle of their training, that in it’s self is pretty darn stupid. Of course he was removed. Second they didn’t detain him they removed him because it was unsafe for him to be there.
Angelfire, you are completely missing the point. IT’S PUBLIC PROPERTY!!!!!! HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE THERE AS MUCH AS YOU OR I!!! Do I even have to explain the issue here. I thought you were smarter than that. If you don’t like to take a stand like this guy did, then go crawl back in your hole in the wall.
This guy was on public property. He could do whatever he wanted and that bullshit “for your own protection” crap doesn’t play here no matter how you look at it, and the “this is not public property, this is city property” BULLSHIT is more word twisting BULLSHIT that they are using to dumb down everything. Just like using PRIVILEGE instead of RIGHT. Now they are using CITY PROPERTY instead of PUBLIC PROPERTY. WAKE THE HELL UP!
By the way, that black cop looks like a guy fresh off the boat of Africa. I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought in some UN troops and dressed them up in police clothing to meet this guy because only a dumbass UN troop who doesn’t know America’s laws would say something so STUPID as “This is not public property, it’s city property” excuse.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they did. This whole thing feels like a setup. The cop didn’t even ask questions to the military guy. He just listened to him and turned to the camera guy and said, “you out”. Never checked the military guy’s papers or even a permit (if he said they were really renting it out for drills. Which is IMPOSSIBLE to do on PUBLIC PROPERTY! How come we have to show our permits when we do something, but the military doesn’t?) nor did he even call in a request or anything to make sure everything was legit. (Which it wasn’t.)
If this black cop who is a young kid really is an American cop, he doesn’t have the balls to face the truth. He looks scared shitless and knows the cameraman is right, so he calls for backup like the coward that he is, rather than siding with the guy and telling the military to shove it up their arse!
The real question should be Why were they there to begin with? That is why we have military bases. Something looks fishy to me.
The real problem is the Military leaders, as a whole, are not leading to protect the freedom of the free word America, only, promote more & bigger Govt! As far as I’m concerned they need a lot more scrutiny by the Citizens to wake them up, if possible. Fight for Liberty, Freedom & Truth
This ain’t our military anymore. It’s the UN military training in U.S. military uniforms. WAKE UP! No real U.S. soldier would do this. These guys are UN Troops.
This treasonous soldier wants the cameraman to go away for his own protection? Has he forgotten that it is ILLEGAL BY OUR CONSTITUTION to have the Military on the streets?
For this piece of shit, treasonous soldier’s own protection, maybe he ought to be training at his own base and not on public property, or we the people just might “accidentally” put a few bullets in those treasonous soldiers ourselves, and if this young kid who calls himself a cop had a brain in his head, he’d be arresting the treasonous soldiers doing the drills and not some civilian cameraman.
The more I look at these soldiers, the more I see trained UN mercenaries with sunglasses, training to kill U.S. Nationals on their own soil. I hope they all get a bullet in their heads.
Yes NC. Those that volunarily sign up just don`t know what they did.It is different now day than itt was bake in the 60`s and before, now days it is more of a volunteer militery. Unlike back in the 60`s they were drafted or they went to prison or crossed over to Canada or Mexico.
If people are going to film things like this, why don’t they use a hidden camera? I mean if someone is holding a camera, that brings attention to oneself. … Common sense anyone?
