So there was a shooting in Miami, and apparently the police started smashing the cameras of all the surrounding eyewitnesses.
The video is available because the owner of the phone hid the SIM card in his mouth.

The guy in the car had rammed some police, and a pistol was recovered from the vehicle, so the shoot is not really what's in question.
But pointing guns at passers by and smashing their phones? In my opinion, that doesn't look too good for the department. Frankly, I don't see how they're going to be able to justify it.
This is not a cop bashing thread. I just wanted to hear what people here thought about this. Because on other gun forums this event has been completely sanitized, all mention removed... like it never happened.
