After a horrific shootout on the streets of Miami, Narces Benoit and his girlfriend witnessed the finale: police firing a barrage of rounds into a man’s car. Narces recorded it. The police smashed his phone. But first? Hidden SD card.
The horrendous footpath firefights took place over Memorial Day, leaving officers and pedestrians alike dead. Narces had an HTC EVO with him, the Miami Herald reports, which he used to film police killing a suspect in his car, after which he says cops pulled guns on him for recording the incident. The video cuts off before the rest of his allegations – that he and his girlfriend were thrown out of their car, and his phone smashed on the street – but everything leading up to that point was saved by some fast thinking. With guns in his face, Narces quickly popped out his phone’s SD card and stuck it in his mouth. With the card intact, the chaotic video above is now spreading across the internet.

I want one of those micro SD cards that can withstand 30 mins immersed in saliva. Mine break as soon as you look at them outside the device.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2:50 PMWhat allegedly happened was, when the video cut out the police took them out of the car at gun point, threw them on the ground, hand cuffed them, smashed the guys phone and put it in his back pocket. They were later un-cuffed, this is when he took the card out of the broken phone and put it in his mouth before being taken to the station an questioned with the card in his mouth the whole time.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 11:00 AMYeah, it’s more of a militaristic police state now, the entire economy is dictated by war and home land security, the citizens come last. It’s a harsh comment I know, but I for one don’t apologise..

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 1:38 PMAnd why do you all need to have guns anyway? right to bear arms, against what? If your govt turns evil? I think you guys missed the boat on that already, but that aside. You really think you could stand against m1 Abrams with hand guns and semi-automatic rifles… I’m sure the threat assessment has already been done on that one lol.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2:29 PMIf you read the story, it sounds like they smashed the phone and stuffed it into his pocket, which is when he liberated the memory card.

A cop with a gun and a bike helmet. I try to take it seriously, but I can’t.
So close to death this guy is. With guns being pointed at him it only takes the fired up heat of the moment for him to pull the trigger and end this guys life.
Being FPS style it felt like it was me being involved so I can get a closer feel to what this guy was experiencing. Far out. They absolutely destroyed that guy in the car. What the hell started this???

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 7:47 PMholy shit!!kudos to this guy, power to the ppl and all that. a copper in australia would be fired and possibly charged for pointing a gun in that fashion at someone not about to use a weapon.
im glad i dont live in america, the coppers over there are virtually hicks with guns and no training. glad the police in oz are (relatively) well policed.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 10:15 PMI agree with the sentiment that having a gun shoved in your face when you are an innocent bystander is horrendous and should never happen to law abiding citizens, part of the problem the cops face is retribution later on by drug gangs etc. Such a video makes it easier for criminal elements to identify those who are there to uphold the law and not only hurt the cops but their families.
