It's Apple's fault! (sorry fistful)

So, apparently, crime is caused by people with smartphones who dare film police. You see, police are mythical creatures, like the tooth-fairy. If you try to watch them, they can't or won't do their jobs.

Ah yes, secrecy good :lol:, accountability bad :mad:.

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both"

Viral cellphone video bad.  Police body cameras good.

Next thing I know someone will be telling me that moving cops out of bus driver suits into full field combat regalia has had no influence on how the public sees the cops or the cops see themself.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Schrodinger's Law Enforcement.

They are simultaneously professional and killing you, until you film them.
