  >Orta has been arrested several times since capturing the 2014 incident and, as the Daily News reports, most recently had a domestic violence case dismissed. Authorities had accused Orta of roughing up and threatening his wife Feb. 13 at their apartment home, the Daily News reports. It was not clear why prosecutors decided to drop the charges, but Orta said that he and his wife were good. What? So we should be lauding this domestic abuser because the _evil_ police have been ostensibly incarcerating him for no reason...? How is it that _NONE_ of the mainstream articles you google reference the actual charges he is going to be incarcerated for and _all_ of them imply he is incarcerated for filming this incident? Are you all so delusional you don't think this should be at very least referenced? He is not in jail for taking video, he is in jail for breaking the law. inb4 yet another 'shill account' is necessary to defend local police.
