During the chaos of the demonstrations, it might be kind of hard to film cops and not get protesters in with them.
I wouldn't want people to limit what they film for fear of filming protesters. All of it needs to be documented.
This is a battle of PR. We need as much footage showing peaceful protesting and violent cops as possible. If people are afraid to be filmed, they shouldn't be there and if cops are targeting people, well that's just another tactic that makes them look bad and helps our PR effort.
"There are officers whose only job is to watch these, track the black folks in them, and throw a case on them."
Yet another conspiracy theory. If @MsPackyetti could provide evidence that a cabal of video-watching law enforcement officers are employed (by whom and where?) to look through social media posts and other footage for black folks that they can track and build a case against, let's see it. I would like to see the job description for this one!
