I was in Brea Ca. capturing video & images from the public sidewalk outside this local church before Sunday service got underway. I had a couple of interactions at this location. One church member in particular who approached me on the sidewalk, hitting my camera phone out of my hand then proceeded to step on it, because he didn’t like that I was recording his image. I tried to de escalate the situation , advising him to go about his day & walk away if he didn’t want to be recorded. This time I had to initiate the call to police. In the process of checking my camera phone for damages just before police made contact with me, I inadvertently forgot to hit the record button on my camcorder, missing only the initial interaction with police. During that interaction with police, I offered an olive branch to the guy why attacked me. I let the police know that I would accept a public apology on camera in lieu of pressing any charges.
