TheNewspaper.com has yet more disturbing developments about the St. Louis kid who’s made a habit out of catching the local police misbehaving on video, this time involving threats made against him on online police forums.

I’ve heard people make the argument that this kid’s habit of baiting cops into abuse somehow diminishes the excesses he’s captured on tape. I don’t agree at all. His “baiting” thus far has consisted of asserting his rights. Perhaps not as politely as he should, but being impolite isn’t and shouldn’t be a crime. Neither is parking in a commuter lot, or asking why you’ve been pulled over when you haven’t broken any laws.
