It seems that a week can’t go by these days without another story of a photographer being abused by somebody in uniform.
A news photographer left his camera running whil he was attacked by an Albuquerque Police Department officer…and was then arrested. The video, which can be seen here, was then broadcasted unedited.
APD say they are going ahead and pressing charges against the unfortunate photographer, and will review the video in the mean time.
