Cops Nab Recording of Police Shooting Unarmed Man
These camera phones are so inconvenient
Police in Texas shot an unarmed man 41 times, then turned around and confiscated a man's camera after he started taking photos and shooting video of the aftermath.
Dallas-area cops then deleted the man's footage before returning the camera four days later.
Now police from two agencies are vowing to do a "complete investigation," which, of course, means we will hear nothing more about the August 31 incident for at least several months.
