Cop vs. Photographer Video Hot Topic

News spreads fast. On the net, that's an understatement.

Thursday's caught-on-tape altercation between KOB-TV photographer Rick Foley and Albuquerque Police Officer D. Guzman has now become internet infamous.

It's been on digg.com. That's huge in the internet universe.

A Google search shows countless hits.

Even my blog here saw nearly two-thousand visitors on Thursday (which is A LOT and a record for my website).

And on the KOB.com forums, I've never seen so many comments (more than 1,100 now).

My tip-line and email have also been full of comments from angry people. Some side with Guzman, others side with Foley.

One man even offered the station 100 dollars to help Foley pay for an attorney.

Another angry anonymous writer claimed to be an officer and wrote Foley "got what he deserved."

It's obvious this video is hitting a nerve with the public and the police.

Thank You so much for posting this story !!!
I too was arrested as a photographer and interogated by the DHS for being a photographer.I was fired from my photography job when I told the press.
The suit was settled with the police having to expunge my record without prints,monetary compensation and retraining the police.
I hope this is taken to court for the sake of our rights!!!
The videographer should be awarded for his efforts and regarded in honor for being strong enough not to fall for this nonsense.
