I've recorded multiple protests now. I didn't realize that Akron Police Department was actually worse than any other department I've interacted with. Incredible. I walked up to ask a question from officers downtown. I unfortunately wasn't recording, because in this instance I didn't think I needed to. No one else was around causing any problems for them. They were immediately hostile, shoved me and threatened me with arrest. And I was actually approaching them to hear what they had to say. I'll make sure my go pro and the rest of my camera equipment gets charged up if I ever want to try and hear their perspective ever again.
