Denver Cops Make ABC Reporter Their B*tch

When a cop tells you to move, you probably should move.

Instead, the man in this video -- an ABC News producer in Denver for the convention -- told the officer, "Hold on." Not a smart move.

The cop didn't take too kindly to that and took it upon himself to move the producer himself. After the cop pushed him into the street, he then told the producer, Asa Eslocker, he was blocking traffic. According to ABC News, things eventually got heated and Eslocker was arrested and charged with trespass, interference and failure to follow a lawful order.

16. #8... I agree that both tmz staff and those chiming in on these comment pages regularly display atrocious grammar and spelling skills. Congrats, you also fall into that category. It's spelled "sense" not "sence." Honestly, you look like a complete idiot when you criticize a person or persons for a mistake and in the process make the same mistake yourself.

17. It really is that simple. The cop is not the starbucks barista you do not tell them to hold on while you are on your cellphone.

Posted at 8:09PM on Aug 27th 2008 by when a cop tells you to move you move.

18. It may have been public property but if I cop tells you to move you freaking better move! This is NOT corruption this is a police office doing his job by keeping the public safe! I hope the reporter spends the rest of the DNC in jail.

19. #17 it looked like he was eating a candy bar

20. This is angering. A person shouldn't be shoved into the street, choked, and charged with several crimes for telling a police officer "just a moment." I follow the law and even have a BS degree in Criminal Justice, but the more I learn about cops the less I trust them.

22. #11 BTW you obviously know nothing about what it takes to be a police officer! It takes a degree to be a member of DPD! Sorry if that offends you and your 7th grade education.

24. The guy was on the phone and didn't look like he was causing any problems. Why does the one officer have a cigar in his mouth when arresting the guy?

25. I am a Denver resident and Denver cops are a buch of f****** Jerks. As I have never personally been in trouble, I have witnessed a lot of Denver cop harassment on others.

26. he should consider himself lucky..if that had been an L.A.P.D. cop I'm sure he would've "accidentally" been shot a few times...."I saw him reaching for a gun".

27. yes if a cop say move, you should move, but you don't push them on a busy road and then choke him. They went way overboard. It's not like the reporter had a gun or anything.

28. Anyone remember the P***Y, D***KS and A**HOLES analogy from Team America.
Well D**K, meet A**HOLE. The rest is self explanatory... You can decide who is
deserving of which moniker. The answer is - you're right.

30. This producer is an ignorant and arrogant ass... The cops have a job to do with crowd control, etc.. That's just the way it is. Only a moron is going to mouth off and get in a fight with a cop, I mean, did he think he was gonna come out on top in this situation? Loser got what he deserved. Too bad all of rest of the propagandists can't get their loser asses kicked as well..
