ask him to step off, step out of onto the sidewalk. >> You can stay in your space and and uh videotape and do all that. >> Why are your officers following? >> In the midst of a seemingly peaceful city, a single camera accidentally touches a truth few dare to face. >> Sir, you mind not standing there cuz we have cars going in and out and this is a driveway. You're more than welcome to be on the be on the sidewalk, but you can't please don't stand there cuz it's not safe. >> So, given the current times, there's some concern about you coming out here and filming and standing at the east gate. >> A moment that seemed ordinary suddenly turned into a tense showdown between the people and those in unformed power. Let's >> see what's on this camera. >> You are on my camera. >> You think out? >> Get to go walk out. I ain't moving. You're moving. An old memory resurfaces as the man once confronted by police returns and everything is about to erupt. >> Sir, who is this? >> He doesn't want to answer us. He won't speak to us. >> Demands to leave. A tense stare and then a decision by the police that puts everything on the fragile line between power and the law. All right, sir. You mind not standing there cuz we have cars going in and out and this is a driveway. Sir, can you please not stand there? We have cars going in out and this is a driveway. You're more than welcome to be on the be on the sidewalk, but you can't. Please don't stand there cuz it's not safe. Go ahead and pull the car so we can open. >> Can we help you with something, sir? Can we help you with something? >> The moment a hand blocks the lens, an act that seems small yet carries the risk of legal consequences worth tens of thousands of dollars for the entire city. Sir, what are your intentions? >> Morning. >> Good morning. [Applause] Who is this? >> He doesn't want to answer us. >> He won't speak to us. >> Ask him to step off the driveway. >> Step out of onto the sidewalk. >> This is private property. [Applause] >> Sir, can you please step to the side? Why don't you go see if a sergeant would like us to detain him? >> What's that? >> See if he'd like us to detain him. You want me to take a nap first? >> No. She'll go off. >> Just go find out how far they want to go. >> Shouts erupt. Gloves go on. The distance between the two sides shrinks to a breathless standoff. Could this be the beginning of a lawsuit that will shake everything? Go >> ahead. Stay behind him. Let's see what's on his camera. >> You are on my camera. >> Oh, now we can talk. Hold on, man. How you doing? Can I talk to you for a sec? Can I talk to you for a second? So, you understand our concern, right? Why you're out here? What's your name? Are you just going to refuse to speak with us? So, given the current times, there's some concern about you coming out here and filming and standing at the east gate. Do you understand that? >> Okay. >> Maybe if you could just share with us what your concerns are, what you want, we can help you out. >> See you later. I want you to go. Go. Get away from my car, though. >> No, >> I don't think so. >> I'll get it away from you. >> Just like we thought. Aggressive. >> If you want to let us know what you want, we'll be on our way. >> That's what I thought. Next time, don't block a camera. Okay. You're not allowed to do that. >> Yeah, I am. >> No, you're not. >> Stand away from me. It doesn't matter about touching me.

How about that? Okay. >> You want to get out of the way of my camera? >> Before the camera lies silent evasion. Behind it looms the threat of abuse of power. Who will be held accountable now that everything has been captured on film? >> It's a 20 $25,000 payout from the city. >> Can you excuse me walk out? >> Get Go walk out. I ain't moving. You're moving. >> Uh-huh. >> Now get your ass back to work. You are a piece of trash. >> All right. >> Get out of here, you tyrant. Get out of here. Get that guy off the street. You do that. Why is he standing so close to me? >> I understand your concern. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. Why is he standing so close to me? >> Do you understand our concern? >> Your concern doesn't call you to stand that close to me like your officer did. Your concern doesn't mean you come standing close, try to intimidate, start throwing gloves on, surround me for somebody doing a first amendment protected activity. It's okay to It's okay to make contact, but >> you understand where we're coming from? >> No, I don't. Why did your officer do that? Do you understand our concern? >> Why did I'm asking a question. Why did your officer do that? >> You can talk around. If not, have a good day. >> Why did your officer do that? >> Question. That trash sergeant needed to be off the streets, too. >> Just another one. Just another piece of poop. >> I gave him the silent treatment until I felt like I needed to speak my mind, and then I spoke my mind. Not even for the most part. They failed. That was a straight up fail. The guy blocking my camera. And now the sergeant wouldn't even want to answer any questions about his guy and what he did. It was just, "Do you understand where we're coming from?" No. I don't understand what gives you the right to come block my camera, to intimidate me, to get real close to me. No, I don't understand.
