The video — apparently partially using police body camera footage — shows two Waterville officers telling Mr. Walz to leave an area and return to his house, and then the officers handcuffing him when he instead inquires about the names of the officers.

Chief LaGrange said that video is just a snippet of the larger interaction. He said Mr. Walz had been photographing a children’s party and that some of the adults told him to leave. A dispute ensued, the chief said, and officers repeatedly attempted to get Mr. Walz to leave the area to avoid a confrontation.

Yup. Those are some pretty damn important details if you ask me.
