Anderson Cooper had a report on the Occupy Wall Street eviction this evening, and the field reporter said they weren’t allowed to videotape what was happening. Well, if they’re still using videotape cameras, it’s no wonder tech snobs like the NYPD wouldn’t let them shoot any pictures of what was happening. I would have thought they would have direct-to-hard-disk cameras by now, but if they’re still using those lame old videotape cameras, it serves them right! No metropolitan police force wants to be shown pushing people around on lame old crappy cameras anymore: you can hardly even identify them on that kind of picture! But from the language they used, it was clear that if they had simply brought up-to-date equipment, they could have had great coverage of the whole thing. But then they’d probably only have a VHS tape deck to play it back on. Losers.
