Regardless of how people act, cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard. If they weren't, we would have some serious problems.
Those cops clearly do not hold themselves to a higher standard.

I'm not debating the right or wrong of the situation. I'm just saying that he should have gone about it in another more effective way. Compares the 2 potential headlines.

"Man arrested after calling police Nazis" or "Concerned citizen took footage of police making illegal searches"

The focus of the real situation is now himself being arrested after insulting the cops rather than the illegal searches. When you want to change something and especially when it's political in nature, it's very helpful to have the public on your side. Right now, the result is him getting arrested and a bunch of idiots arguing on youtube. If he had submitted a story instead, it's very possible that those cops could've been fired if enough people get angry about the situation.
