Times have changed. Cell phone /cameras makes everyone a reporter/ viewer of crimes by Cops

[Stuart G]

...So many examples. I can't name them all. Now most of us can take pictures of cops beating up people. And this
has happened many times. The cell phone/cameras are small, easy to carry and operate, relatively cheap..(relatively ,
compared to 10 - 15 years ago. and available to all. Just in the last few weeks, here at Democratic Underground many
reports and pictures of police officers all over the country beating up people. Now there are videos (moving pictures
using an old term) of the actual incidents as they happened. For decades, it was the cops word against everyone else
and most judges believed the officers. Now there is proof of the attacks taken by bystanders and people not involved
in the incident. Even the videos by people involved in the incident stand up in court against police officers lies.

....As stated many years ago........."The Times They Are A Changing"...I hope you don't mind if I add this:

1. They are a game changer, no doubt.

The best tool we have to combat racist/fascist/authoritarian behavior.

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. No testimony given by a police officer should be accepted as true.

None. Not a word. The vast majority will lie on a police report or on the stand if it suits their narrative.

ALWAYS RECORD ANY INTERACTION WITH THE POLICE.


ALWAYS.
