Anyway, this is an MSNBC video, and is clearly authentic, showing

The only place I saw it before your post was on some lefty blogs...
I especially "like" the way the cop vaguely threatens the
reporter while she completely ignores another cop with a
SHOPPING CART right behind her:
SAVIDGE: Hi. What are you doing here?
COP: I'm doing my job.
SAVIDGE: Taking shoes?
COP: No, I'm looking for looters.
SAVIDGE: Looking for looters? (LONG PAUSE)
And what do you do when you find them?
Because I think I see them.
COP: (INAUDIBLE), that's all I can do with them right now.
SAVIDGE: They're all around us, though.
COP: That's what I see. Including you.
What are you doing here?
SAVIDGE: I haven't taken anything, ma'am.
COP: But you're in the store.
The interesting thing is, I looked and searched, on the MSNBC site,
and
couldn't find this video. There are quite a few videos there, so
maybe I
simply didn't find it, or perhaps it was intentionally removed?
A transcript of the 8/31 "Countdown" show, including the clip, is on
the MSNBC site at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9160158/ -- Search for
the string "(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)". (That's where I got the text above.)
Conscientia non oboedientia honor est.
Honor is conscience, not obedience.
When the law is unjust, obedience is injustice.
