Do you blame the one who threw a 🖕in response to a friendly wave👋 or the one who turned around and went back? In May 2019 in Carey, Ohio, Officer Joshua Snyder of the Carey Police Department waved at Kieran Smith while Smith was walking on a public sidewalk with his wife and young child. Smith responded with a middle finger. Snyder then stopped the family, threatened to arrest Smith for disorderly conduct, detained and handcuffed him in front of his wife and child, and ultimately issued a citation. Bodycam and related footage later showed Snyder giving a supervisor an inaccurate account of the encounter, including claims about Smith refusing to identify himself that did not match what occurred. Smith later filed a federal lawsuit against the Village of Carey. The case settled for roughly $40,000–$46,000. ❓Was what you saw on the video the same as what Officer Snyder told the police chief? ❓When a bodycam records one version of events and the officer's memory records another version, which one should be believed? ❓Is the only real difference here that Smith chose to be an a**hole instead of waving back like a normal person?

👮‍♀️A flustered Officer Felski on her bodycam: "He want's the (CAD) number, I'll give him the f***ing number" and it doesn't end there. 👀 On or around August 16–17, 2026, a First Amendment auditor from the Kansas City Accountability channel was recording from the public sidewalk outside the Starbucks at 2730 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, New York. The store manager approached him, stated that filming made customers uncomfortable, cited Starbucks media policy requiring permission, and demanded he leave even though he remained on the sidewalk. The manager then called Buffalo Police. Officers responded to the call. One of the officers involved has been identified in related posts and discussion as Officer Felski. Many who view the interaction describe Felski as short or dismissive toward the person filming. No arrest was made and the auditor was not detained. ❓Did one or both officers seem short or dismissive to you? ❓Did the officers pass or fail this audit?
