Because one person (cop or not, doesn't matter) breaking the law over here doesn't in any way justify unreasonable harassment of another person (cop or not) over there?
Let me put it another way, how is this behavior intended to improve policing in America, and do you think it has a chance of doing so?
And any excessive force or mistake that they engage in will be trending on YouTube in under an hour. So you better be damn careful.
And what's the best outcome, huh? They get out on temporary administrative leave? Ha. Go ahead and record the police. They don't care. We on HN don't care. And you won't care after a week.
Anything worth fixing or building takes a tremendous amount of focus and time. This comment makes me sad, as it mirrors general millennial sentiments on civic engagement.
