Police beating of Las Vegas man caught on tape
This certainly doesn't sound good for the officer. I wonder how much the video really shows?His face was bloodied and bruised. His $3,500 camera had been impounded by police, and he faced criminal charges for battery on a police officer.
One month later, things have changed for Crooks.
The Clark County district attorney's office has dropped all charges, and Crooks has retained an attorney of his own. The Metropolitan Police Department has opened an internal investigation into the Las Vegas police officer, Derek Colling, who Crooks says falsely arrested and beat him for filming police.
And his camera -- which captured the entire March 20 altercation between Crooks and Colling -- has been returned.

Be careful about being baited by people filming you. Unless they are in the way or have filmed evidence you are willing to get a search warrant for, ignore them!That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.

According to the officer's report, Crooks grabbed him when he approached. The video doesn't show much other then the officer approaching Crooks (hilarious name btw). One thing it does show is while the officer is giving Crooks commands to stop resisting, Crooks is trying to grab the camera to point it at himself.
