We're the Only Ones Hesitant Enough

Some police believe videotaping officers poses broad risks that reach beyond Internet embarrassments: It could cause officers to hesitate in life-threatening situations. [More]
Depending on what the situation is and whose life is being threatened, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I strongly agree with you, and it's brave for you to take this position.

It's too east to misconstrue such a position as "anti-cop" instead of being "pro-liberty" -- or pro-life for that matter.

Curious how the cop unions see it as "retribution" - wrong.

This incident was taped at the Toronto G20 protests. Riot cop shoots a woman TWICE with what is apparently a tear gas grenade launcher at a distance of about 15 feet.
Please check out "Officer Bubbles" in related videos on the same page. "If one of those bubbles touches me, you're getting arrested for assault."
And she was.
Gratitude to the brave people who recorded them.
