We're the Only Ones Disturbed Enough

The footage, posted on social media, begins with a Los Angeles police officer getting out of his patrol car, followed by a shot of a handgun held by the person shooting the video. That individual was recording the video from inside a car parked behind the officer. [More]

The default assumption is that this is a manifestation of hatred and violence, as opposed to a demonstration that people who do the same thing every day to citizens are not the "Only Ones" capable of following and recording someone while armed. In terms of creating a bigger divide, historically, LAPD has proven more than capable of doing that all by their own selves.

That said, I don't blame them for having their awareness and caution levels raised.  Just understand when We the People have that same reaction, because again, they're not the "Only Ones" creeped out by that.
