The guy who taped the recent police beating in LA (Mitchell Crooks) was arrested today. Apparently, he incited the interest of the LA police into this guy's background and they found that he had two warrants for DUI\hit and run as well as petty theft. Before being arrested, in a recent interview, he claimed that he was untouchable, because an arrest of him would create public outrage. As he was being arrested, he screamed for help like they were going to drive him far away and murder him to keep him from testifying. I heard a clip of the scream and it was blood-curdling to say the least. Aside from whether the officer should go to jail or not, I find it amusing that this guy was prepared to do a bunch of interviews and shine in the limelight with his smug description of himself as "untouchable" and then goes straight to jail!
