(New York Daily News) Florida cops have released surveillance video of the arrest of Markeith Loyd, who faced a judge again Friday after being charged in the slaying of an Orlando police officer.
Loyd, accused of killing at least two people, was hit with the fresh set of charges on Thursday night, including first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

— Orlando Police (@OrlandoPolice) January 19, 2017
During a hearing Thursday morning relating to the slaying of his pregnant former girlfriend, the 41-year-old Loyd ranted to the court, closing the appearance by repeatedly saying "fuck you" to Judge Jeanette Dejuras Bigney.
Loyd was much more subdued in a brief court appearance in Orlando on Friday morning.
The new charges against Loyd include wearing a bullet-proof vest and carjacking, according to the Sentinel. He now faces a total of 10 charges relating to the two deaths, according to the newspaper.
Lt. Debra Clayton of the Orlando Police Department was gunned down on Jan. 9 while attempting to capture Loyd. His ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon was fatally shot at her home in December.

Loyd told the judge on Thursday he plans to represent himself, and said the charges against him were made up.
He was injured during his arrest Tuesday night following a week-long manhunt, and was heavily bandaged as he showed up in court. He suffered a fractured left orbital bone, according to WTKR.
"You all portray this shit to the news people like I just went there and shot this girl when there were other guns found," he said to the judge on Thursday.
The video shows some officers kicking Loyd as he is seen crawling toward them, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"The first night that he was captured and brought into custody, we did not try to hide what had happened to him," Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters, according to WTKR. "Obviously, we want to be very transparent and open. He resisted arrest. We used force. He was injured. It will be investigated."

Said Mina, according to the station: "We were the ones who found him. He didn't surrender. We found him and he tried to escape and then came out, did not comply with officers' commands and they used force."
Orlando cops said they would investigate the use of force used to bring Loyd in, and released aerial surveillance video of the capture.

Director Spike Lee's disappointment in Chrisette Michele's decision to perform at president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, has prompted him to change his mind about using one of her songs in his new Netflix series, "She's Gotta Have It."
"Good Morning Folks. I Wuz Sorry To Read That "Sistuh Girl" Is Singin' At DT's Inauguration (And To Use His Fav Word-SAD). I Wuz Thinkin' 'bout Using Chrisette's Song- BLACK GIRL MAGIC In My Netflix Series SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT.... NOT ANYMORE. And Dat's Da Truth, Ruth," Lee captioned an Instagram photo of the singer on Thursday, January 19.
Michele, a Grammy Award-winner, penned an open letter in response to the heavy backlash she's received on social media for accepting the invitation to sing at the inauguration, which takes place on Friday, January 20.
"My heart is broken for our country, for the hopes of our children, for the fights of those who came before us.
I cry at the thought that Black History, American History might be in vain.
This country has had great moments. God has shined His light upon us.
Today, I hope that Great Moments begin in peaceful & progressive conversation. I am willing to be a bridge. I don't mind "These Stones", if they allow me to be a voice for the voiceless.
I am here.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about what matters,". I am here, representing you, because this is what matters." - Chrisette Michele
How this affects Michele's career moving forward remains to be seen, but we think her true fans will continue to support her.
Thoughts?

Entertainers who will take part in the inauguration include Chrisette Michele, Toby Keith, Jackie Evancho, Big & Rich, Jon Voight, Sam Moore, Lee Greenwood, The Piano Guys, 3 Doors Down and others.
Azealia Banks
One not-so-happy camper who didn't get an invite to perform tomorrow night is Azealia Banks. The 25-year old rapper took to social media to bemoan the fact that she was overlooked.
"Saw the entertainment line for the inauguration it made me very upset. This is an EPIC moment in modern history and it should def be celebrated in style. I would love to perform at the inauguration," she posted on her Facebook account Wednesday.
Banks then hit up her Instagram account to shit on the booked performers, saying she and right-wing editor Milo Yiannopoulos should have been the hosts.
"The inauguration line up is so trash," the Harlem, New York native wrote. "I should have been performing the big big beat at the inauguration. Who are any of these people associated with it? And who the hell authorized this shit? This election was waaaaaay too lit for there to be such a lack-luster celebration. Me and Milo should be hosting it and turning that party into the teen choice awards."

Federal prosecutors are painting a damning picture of Taxstone's alleged involvement in the shootings that occurred backstage at a May 25, 2016, T.I. concert at Irving Plaza in New York City.
The "Tax Season" podcast host appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for the second day in row on Wednesday, January 18.
According to Revolt TV, prosecutors claim the 31-year old, born Daryl Campbell, fired the shot that killed Troy Ave's friend/bodyguard Ronald "BSB Banga" McPhatter. Three other people, including Troy were also injured.
Ronald McPhatter (left) died in a shooting at Irving Plaza that also injured Troy Ave (right)
On the night in question, Troy got into a fight with an individual, that prosecutors now claim was Taxstone. During the scuffle Troy was shot in the leg. McPhatter stepped in to defend the BSB Records CEO and was fatally wounded by a gunshot to the chest. A woman was shot in the knee and another man was hit with a bullet that went through the floor.
During the chaos Troy somehow wrestled the gun away. He can be seen on surveillance footage firing the weapon.
The 9-millimeter Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun used in the shooting was found by police in the vehicle that transported Troy to the hospital. DNA on the weapon matched Tax, McPhatter and Troy. However, prosecutors allege that Tax's was also discovered on the gun's clip, leading investigators to believe that the weapon belonged to him.
At least one eyewitness has given statements to police that corroborate the prosecution's theory.
U.S. Marshals New York, New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and the New York Police Department arrested Taxstone Monday morning, January 17, at his aunt's home in Brooklyn, New York. He was charged with Being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Transporting and Receiving a Firearm.
During the podcaster's initial court appearance on Tuesday, Judge Andrew Peck, granted him bail of $500,000. The conditions of his release stipulated that he be put on house arrest, but allowed to leave for work.
U.S. Attorney Hagen Scotten appealed that decision, calling Taxstone a “danger to the community.” On Wednesday Judge Peck reversed his decision and denied bail for Tax.
Troy, real name Roland Collins, remains free on $500,000 bail, following his arrest immediately after the shooting.
He pleaded not guilty to weapons possession and attempted murder charges.
