Ha. I have a similar type of domain name in my shopping cart... I have another angle for this, which is we have to clearly identify a path where legitimate policing can occur, but aims to end police misconduct systematically.

I'm interested to hear more of your ideas around this

You know what needs to stop? School shootings. I’m not defending police brutality, but this nation loses its shit for one grown man but shrugs when dozens of innocent children are slaughtered.

There's only so much we can do to prevent atrocities committed by isolated psychopaths. The only possible cure -- strict universal gun control -- is not part of the conversation right now.

Can our police be trusted with all the rights, all the privileges, and all the guns? That may be a tough sell at the moment.

Can you also add all the times cops are abused and murdered on the job, trying to protect innocent people? Thanks.

Actually, I would LOVE to see this information.

My understanding is cops kill way more often than they are killed. But I'd love to stand corrected.

My understanding is the thin blue line is a myth. The real terrors are the cops. But again I'd love to be wrong.

The site seems to be down. Will it do historical abuse as well?

I think traffic might of killed it. I will upgrade the server it's running on tonight. In answer to your question, all videos on there will stay there for the rest of time. We cannot let this happen now but we certainly can't let it be forgotten either.

DevOps SRE, how can I help?

How does the validation of the stories work ? I hope it will not end up as the next place to fuel unnecessary violence like in Toronto.

Currently, I'm having to watch the videos and verify them personally. Not the way I want to spend my evenings but sadly something I feel I have to do.

Do you need help? Is there anyway we can help?

You’re not. He’s a troll. I’m sure next he’ll say that cops need to start riots at protests because of black on black crime or something.
