  • What we need is a Supreme Court ruling on filming the police but with the current court... I'm not optimistic on how that might go.

    • With the current court, they would totally uphold that law as legal. I don’t trust this court to do the right thing any further than I could throw Clarence Thomas with both hands tied behind my back.

      • You're only allowed to throw him if you make a million dollar donation in the name of friendship, though.

  • The government won't protect you from the cops. The cops enforce their authority. The recompense against police overreach is the same as it's always been: violence

  • at this point, everyone should be wearing body cameras at all times. especially around cops.
