Remember a few years ago it came out that Apple filed a patent to disable cameras in a localised area. Speculation was so that law enforcement could disable cameras during protests and riots. In the next few days/weeks, watch if people start saying that they're in these hot zones and their camera phones stop working
Tangentially related: anybody have links for good op-sec guides for creating a site that might make dangerous people pissed off?
Anonymous-site-as-a-service must be a thing.
Is the issue with police brutality a lack of evidence? Not trolling, legitimately asking this. It feels like every year some viral video comes out where police do something horrible, it feels like little progress has been made on the issue. Is it simply a visibility problem?
Several generations of recorded American history tell us: no.
Decent ethical sense tells us: absolutely, emphatically no.
Nothing about this is simple.
Can you also add all the times cops are abused and murdered on the job, trying to protect innocent people? Thanks.
I did some digging around for this info, and I think this is important. In 2018, 55 police officers were murdered in the line of duty [1]. In the same year, police officers shot 995 people to death [2]. [1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2019/05/08/the-nu... [2] https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-de...

I'd be happy to send you the code for the site if that's something you want to setup?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know, I'm trying to be careful/selective about what I put on the site. Only clear oversteps should be shown in my opinion
Would you be willing to also add an explanation of why you put each video up? This could quite easily be abused with selective editing.

If IPFS is out of the question, I'd look for hosting services that talk openly about being censorship-resistant. Won't give any links, but there are a couple, even if slightly shady looking.
not saying there is no value in this initiative, just a reminder, that a camera always hides more than it shows - unknown unnowns etc...
i have witnessed Police brutality first hand. Even here where we dont go through much of the authoritarian training americans are used to, i.e christian churches with heavy influence - here religion is merely a nostalgic thing.
I know also that even here victims of Police brutality basically have No Chance of retaliation.
That beeing said, a video that looks ugly does not necessarily mean the Police acted wrong.
Ok i bite, Link a Video and i will come up with a story that atleast explains the police behaviour, If not justifies it.
The sad thing is, there are good jurisdictions (they may have their issues, but generally fair) around, yet local activists will use issue X in city Y as an excuse to blame their own local PD for some unrelated issue. This is happening in Santa Cruz right now where local homeless “advocates” (more about themselves) are attempting to co-opt a protest to blaming SCPD on perceived slights regarding homeless issues.
