So sad today. I have long said that Rob Reiner didn't get the credit he deserved. He made 7 amazing films in 8 years (1984-1992) and each one of them was a different genre. That puts him up there with Spielberg for me.

When a law enforcement officer aims a weapon at someone wielding a camera, it is procedurally unsound and unprofessional in two fundamental ways: 1) It is disproportional to any actual threat and is instead an unprovoked threat against a citizen. 2) The officer is a crazed, untrained asshole.
