Policing in America

That was my point from the off tbh he was still arguing and raising his voice, the prudent guy would have been a tad less argumentative to 6 cops with guns.^ 6 American police officer with guns, whats to be afraid of being a black man.
When I am pulled over by a cop for speeding, I don't yell at him in the vain hope he lets me off with a warning, get arsey with them and you get done and that is with no risk of being shot.
Though I have been manhandled in a corridor by a short arse copper who took a sly dig, he got one back but nothing came of it bar a night in the cell.
Here or in the US?It is SUPER RARE for a Black cop to intervene from a group of White/ senior cops. They don't usually want to be the subject of abuse they see by cop. I have seen a Black cop break down in tears talking about their own experience of being 'handled' by White cops whilst wearing their UNIFORM, fearing they were going to be murdered that day.
If that's just one story, there are others, so what chance do ordinary citizens have?
It isn't a very nice place at the end of the day and I wouldn't thank you for a trip there tbh.

You know what? Even here the traits are similar but, obviously, not at the same intensity.
I don't know if it's 'siege mentality' of some sort to not intervene or fear of reprisal r fear of not backing the partner/ group, but it's concerning.
There's definitely a 'gang' mentality that takes hold of cops here or Stateside. As a whole it's 'them and/ or us'.

If there are still/ were Nazi Hunters in existence to continue prosecution for crimes, do you think justice should be served here...

I've only experienced the gang mentality of our police whilst on Picket lines or attending a demo.You know what? Even here the traits are similar but, obviously, not at the same intensity.

10 coppers trying to intimidate 2 pickets. But none of the fuckers were available to attend my colleague being assaulted last night.

New Arizona law makes it illegal to film within 8 feet of police.
8ft is probably a relatively safe distance to be away from a police officer who is struggling to detain a suspect in all fairness. Making it illegal to be closer than that on the other hand is a bit much and probably not based on the safety of the individual doing the filming.

Who's job is it to pace that out and put the white line down on the floor?

Looks like sales of more powerful cameras and microphones will go through the roof the next time they decide to shoot/assault an innocent bystander for shits and giggles.
