Good for him

Memory card in mouth saves police shooting video

I'm a big fan of police, but there are times when they step over the line, like smashing a cell phone because someone films them. If they're not doing anything wrong, it shouldn't matter. Plus, you'd think a video would be better than a witness in the case of an investigation. But no, this man was treated like a criminal, had a gun held to his head even though he had no weapon, but got the last word in by removing the card from his smashed phone, and now it's out there for the world to see. Not cool on the part of the Miami Beach police.
