Some Beverly Hills cops are getting back at a left-wing activist who takes videos of them — with a good bit of wit attached to it.
Vice News reported that Los Angeles-area activist Sennett Devermont recorded cellphone video as he was trying to talk to uniformed Beverly Hills police officers on a sidewalk last month — but the chatter was interrupted by a familiar sound.
It was coming from Officer Julian Reyes’ cellphone he was holding aloft. It was an acoustic guitar, and a man singing: “Yesterday / all my troubles seemed so far away / now it looks as though they’re here to stay / oh, I believe in yesterday.”
Yup, it was Paul McCartney singing the Beatles’ classic “Yesterday” — arguably one of the most popular songs ever, as it was performed over 7 million times just in the 20th century — and recorded more than 1,600 times.
