How come one person with a camera is harassed by multiple armed cops?

When citizens, with nothing better to do but engage in the legal activity of filming whatever they can see from a public place or inside public buildings they're almost instantaneously surrounded by thuggy cops armed to the teeth with guns, tasers, skull splitting batons and body-cams.
They march up to within a few inches of their victim and then demand that he/she stops sticking the camera in their face.

These all too frequent incidents usually result in the provocative cameraman being encircled by 6 to eight cops all of whom adopt a John Wayne tough guy, legs apart stance snarling at the masochist shutterbug and telling him that he must stop the legal activity of filming in public.

Do they do this because they perceive such mischievous imps as a challenge to their supreme authority over the general public?

It's difficult to fathom out why these, apparently dumb cops don't realize that their aggressive response is exactly what the ''king of the Camera'' wants for his YouTube show later on.

If the cops bid the waster a cheery hi-there and went diligently about their assigned duties without engaging in a heated interview the worthless layabout would be devastated and demoralized to the point where he would pack up his camera, cease his nonsense and go home with his tail between his legs.

Hello N:

When cops look out upon the public, they see two classes of people, those who broke the law, and those who haven't been caught yet..

They need to be rounded up and sent to Gitmo for re-training.... And, some friendly waterboarding.

Watching these rabid fascists strutting around enforcing their own, made-up laws upon decent, law abiding folk is infuriating.

There must be an inborn character flaw in all cops worldwide as their assumed superiority over the populations they're meant to be protecting is universal.

These sadistic fanatics beat the shit out of peaceful protesters from Melbourne, Australia to Paris France.

Check out the crazed violence by the Melbourne police against anti-covid-19 protesters.

No wonder the kangaroos are hopping mad, ha.
