So, I just saw this posted up on another forum. I decided to view the video link, which is an audio only recording, after reading a few comments on it.

The recording is made by one Mark Fiorino. I may be a bit sketchy on the details, but basically, he was open carrying, in Philidelphia, while in possession of a valid CHP for the state. An officer approached him, drew on him, and then proceeded to spout profanities at him, before demanding that he get down on his knees. I seem to recall him spouting an "or else I'll shoot you" comment, but I might have misheard. When his backup arrives, they force him to the ground, and arrest him.
They didn't know he had a recording device in his pocket, and were not pleased when they found out. He was released without charges, but when it was discovered that the audio displaying the brutish, vulgar, and unprofessional manner in which they carried themselves was released on youtube, they brought him up on charges. I haven't seen a lot of coverage of this so far, so I say to you this: Listen to it, at least for four minutes. If what you hear disturbs you, pass it on to anyone else you know, and write a complaint to the city of Brotherly Fail,
