600th, if you count every death by a police officer: http://killedbypolice.net/
I wonder if it's common enough for concerned people to have live feeds. Perhaps triggered by loud noises, shock waves, voice commands ("help!") etc. For groups, watching each other, and the environment.
However, 600 killings in just over half a year is deeply troubling when you compare it to other first-world nations. For example, in Germany, the police kills approximately 6-8 people per year [1]. If you scale this number by the US/German population, it's equivalent to 24-32 police killing per year. Clearly, the U.S. has a problem.

I remember being pulled over by the cops. I was on my phone while he was doing the license check, and the officer told me to turn off my phone. I complied, so it's interesting to see how this woman luckily got away with recording the video. If the police had told her to turn off the phone, there's nothing she could have done at that moment in time. All transparency of the incident would have been lost.
He's dead. My professor once said, "The police have gone from 'Serve and Protect' to 'Seek and Destroy'."
Why did you comply? He has no reason to ask that of you.

If a police officer tells you to turn off your phone, you don't have to listen to it. They cannot legally compel you to do that. They can tell you step back, and you should definitely take a couple step backwards if so. If they want you to stop recording, they need to arrest you and have probable cause for that arrest.
