You're right. For some reason I just processed that completely wrong. Wish I had the Bunnykid excuse, but sadly that was just pure unadulterated screw up. Anyway, question retracted.
Clean shoot IMHO
some pretty interesting things in the story...
Hawthorne Police Lt Scott Swain said that officers were warning Rosby to turn down the music in his car.
'It's distracting the officers. It's interfering with what they are able to hear,' Lt Swain said. 'It's not just a party call. It's an armed robbery call. The officers need to hear what's going on with the people being called out of the residence. That music in his car is bleeding over and it's distracting them.'
A neighbor who witnessed the event said they heard Rosby yell 'It's my (expletive) radio!' to officers.
But Rosby said that didn't happen because as a Christian he doesn't swear.
'I do apologize if I didn't immediately comply,' Rosby said. 'The music may have been a little loud but I was complying.'
This one makes me think he is an INGO member...
Apparently this isn't the first time that Rosbyhas had issues with the local police. His prior record includes convictions for resisting arrest, battery and driving under the influence. Rosby, a black man, has filed six complaints alleging mistreatment and racial profiling by the Hawthorn Police.

If we're going to look at someone's priors, why not look at the Hawthorn PD's priors? Are they a good department? Or is there a chance they are riddled with thugs who just may have been after this guy as a retaliatory measure?

Why were the other individuals recording not detained?Over and over someone records the police, has force used against him and then gets charged with resisting and obstructing and whatever else they want to pile on with.
Why were the other individuals recording not detained?
I meant in this instance. The guys recording the incident involving Rosby and the dog.In one case they didn't see them, in two others they were recorded by street cameras, and in one of those the guy who got beaten and arrested was also talking to his Dad describing what he was seeing just before he got beaten down. His Dad happens to be a Deputy Sheriff, btw. The cops said he fought them, the video makes it clear the force was all on their side. They attacked him, beat him, then lied about it trying to get him convicted of a crime.
I know, they were just trying to get home safe that night.

I wonder why they weren't detained?
Could have been because they didn't have prior complaints out against the department and he did. Retaliation is not unknown in certain circles.I meant in this instance. The guys recording the incident involving Rosby and the dog.

I saw multiple people openly holding cameras recording. They didn't appear to be attempting to "hide" their activity. And yet none of them were detained or even approached about their activity.I don't know. It's quite possible that it didn't have to do with his recording them. My point was that it's happening so often that I think it should always arouse suspicion that it was to punish the guy recording.
Since you asked me to speculate:
Maybe they didn't see the others, maybe they were hiding that they were recording. Maybe they were going to detain them next. Maybe it had to do with what Rosby claims, that they were harassing him for other matters. And again, maybe the detention was legit. All I'm saying is that if the detention WAS NOT legit, they should be in trouble because their use of discretion has serious consequences.
Or is it possible they weren't blaring loud music as the police were attempting to bring people from a house at gun point?Could have been because they didn't have prior complaints out against the department and he did. Retaliation is not unknown in certain circles.
