US officer plays Taylor Swift song to avoid video being uploaded

[Invitation]

Members of Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP) were protesting outside the courthouse at the pre-trial hearing of a San Leandro officer charged with the manslaughter of a black man.

The officer started playing Taylor Swift's No. 1 hit 'Blank Space' while protestors were filming him.

In the video, the officer says: "You can record all you want, I just know it can't be posted to YouTube." YouTube frequently removes videos that violate copyright rules.

When asked if playing music in this way is procedure, the officer responds: "It's not specifically outlined."

Later in the video, he confirms: "I'm playing music so that you can't post on YouTube."

The sheriff's department said: "We have seen the video and referred it to our internal affairs bureau. This is not approved behaviour. It will not happen again."

The video, which was posted on 1 July, has had more than 180,000 views and remains online. It is also visible on the APTP's Twitter page.

Bullying in the name of bullying leads to more bullying. Terrorizing in the name of terror leads to more terror.

Lol **** pigs. They put more effort into not getting caught harassing protestors than they do in avoiding ********* brown and black people

Taylor swift music is now categorized in police and bootlickers genre ....
