As he's walking, he repeatedly says that he's filming the police and not doing anything wrong. The area is well lit, and Benoit isn't the only person filming. He is, however, the only person ignoring police commands to stop filming.\u00c2\u00a0</p>\n<p>The next time Benoit raises the camera, it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s to capture an adrenaline-fueled and agitated-looking Miami police officer circling his Ford Expedition, pointing a gun through the windows at Benoit and his girlfriend. Pretty soon, cops swarm the car and force Benoit and his girlfriend to exit the vehicle.\u00c2\u00a0</p>\n<p>Benoit\u00e2\u0080\u0099s girlfriend told the Miami Herald that police then \u00e2\u0080\u009cput guns to our heads and threw us on the ground.\u00e2\u0080\u009d According to Benoit, one officer handcuffed him, grabbed his phone, \u00e2\u0080\u009csmashed\u00e2\u0080\u009d it on the ground, and then put it back in Benoit\u00e2\u0080\u0099s pocket.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>via <em><a href=\"http://reason.com/blog/2011/06/08/miami-police-shoot-man-to-deat\">Miami Police Shoot Man to Death, Attempt to Steal/Destroy All Video Evidence of Shooting Man to Death - Hit &amp; Run : Reason Magazine</a></em>.</p>\n"
