On Sept 14, 2007, David Snyder was beaten by a police officer at a town meeting

This youtube video has a strange story behind it. For some reason, it was taken down along with other videos related to the Roseland, Indiana Police attack against David Snyder. It’s not clear what the problem is with the video - copyright? Does it have something to do with the terms of service?

It could be something completely legitimate motivating YouTube’s actions, but the fact that the video and account simply disappeared is shady.

Meanwhile, the “fair use” version of the Roseland Police attack remains online. Not only that, but WDNU has actually confirmed the fair use claims in the attack video!

So what is going on? Is some griefer other than WNDU-TV picking on these videos? Is it possible that the take-down was not copyright-related?
