insecure bully cop - photography is NOT a crime

...on the way to class at UVic, saw flashing lights, heard the sirens, pulled my camera out.
I saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from the face, a police car was askew on the road, another unit was pulling in at high speed. I had no idea what happened, but I started firing away when suddenly this pig starts yelling at me, so loud that the crew at the adjacent construction site heard the cop yelling at me, while he was ignoring the poor fellow, who, it turns out, had fallen badly during a grand mal seizure.

I bitched the cop out for insulting me, for accusing me of being scum, asking him why he was bitching at me instead of helping the injured man. The rude punk just turned his back on me.

It's funny, how they want and use my photos to help solve crimes and they illegally download my images for their "investigations", but too often they bitch when I shoot in the street, when I am doing nothing wrong. This cop was a Grade-A judgmental power-drunk bully.

Hey, VicPD, fuck off and leave me alone!
