This award-winning photographer was taking wide-angle shots of a mall Santa and choir when police begin to harass him and take his camera. The photographer asks if he can take a picture of the officer in question and nearly gets his shoulder dislocated as his answer.

This is the type of crap is that people against privatizing security are fighting to protect.
