Las Vegas Police Officer Bowler Makes Sure I Know He Saw Previous Video I Posted

Today, during the Food Not Bombs Las Vegas weekly picnic, Officer Bowler of the Las Vegas City Marshals made a special effort while he and another marshal were trying to find some reason to harass the people within the park to approach and attempt to intimidate me by making sure I knew he had seen a video I posted on the Nevada Cop Block (NVCopBlock.org) Facebook page last week. In that video, I had filmed them harassing and then issuing a citation to a homeless man for having a "dangerous and illegal" can opener (see the video here: https://youtu.be/hDUWrAVNBN0) that he was threatening nobody with.

Officer Bowler brought up the important and believable counter-point to my observation that he's a bully, who enjoys preying on people that aren't in a position to defend themselves, that the man had "thanked him" for writing him a citation he won't be able to pay and will likely end up with a warrant from, as a result. (If you watch that video from last week you can see at the end just how grateful the man was as he was walking away for Officer Bowler's kindness.) He also bolstered that argument by pointing out that he could also kidnap an innocent guy for drinking in the park "if I wanted to," but he was such a humanitarian that he wasn't going to illegally arrest him on video without any evidence for that charge.
