San Diego College Cop Points Gun at Photographer

San Diego Community College District police officer James Everette is on paid administrative leave after being filmed forcing a cameraman to put down a GoPro camera at gun point.
In addition to a regular video camera, the photographer had a GoPro camera attached to the camera. The officer claimed to the photographer that he doesn’t know what the GoPro is.
When the photographer refused, the officer held him at gunpoint for 20 seconds. Another officer returned the GoPro to the photographer, and no arrests were made.

This cop is dangerous, he needs to be off the streets. He brings a gun to a camera fight.

[@pauld4355]

pointing a gun at someone to intimidate them is a serious felony. He admitted that he knew it was a camera, he should have been charged.

“You can’t film here”

[@xendava9360]

That cop basically stole that mans camera at gun point. This is an armed robbery.

[@CamerasEverywhere]

First thing the cops says is "why are you filming" then he pretends it might be a gun, basically creating a reason to shoot the man. sad and scary.

"What are you filming for?"

[@aadrienwatkins8057]

Pulling his weapon means he was ready to kill someone over a gopro.

Never in my life would I have imagined that a head-to-toe armed police officer had such fear of a camera that he was cowardly.

[@edwarddiefenbach4672]

That officer needs to be fired now before he hurts someone. He's obviously very gun happy and that never ends well.

[@motleykibitzer7]

this cop is a psycho

[@_G_H_0_S_T]

He told him "you can't film here" ...but then he didn't knew if it was a camera... Yeah, right.

"I don't know what that is?"

[@maxmoore8123]

This cop needs to get fired

[@frankmartel5775]

If he thought it could be a weapon, why didn’t he make it safe as soon as he grabbed it? Why did he not remove the round from the chamber?

[@MrMarkRoads]

This is why you should always go live. The recording goes to the net.

[@kathleenjimenez8394]

That cop needs a job that doesn’t include a weapon. If he’s so spooked by a silly little camera, he shouldn’t be doing that job.

[@Eric-ue9pm]

This cop need to get fired

[@NotMe47294]

Crazy how this guy had a gun pointed at him for holding a camera. Literally insane.
