Please spare us the Rosa Parks comparisons. They're inaccurate and insulting. There's a big difference between being denied basic rights because of how I was born and getting mildly hassled because I might happen to make an unwise decision.

The guy taking the video isn't an activist. He's a guy looking to score points with an audience by antagonizing law enforcement.
