@i_contemplate_ Just about every political group violates the principle, even libertarians when the accusation is of police misconduct. -
@ThaddeusRussell Agreed, but these are extensively documented on camera phones. Less likely to be false. -
@i_contemplate_ When there's video evidence it's not just an accusation. -
@ThaddeusRussell Most of the outrage I've seen (last 3-4 yrs) has been after a video has surfaced. Unambiguous brutality is the norm. -
@ThaddeusRussell Important to calibrate to reality. Hardly a case where PDs had effective responses. Just "we dun nuffin rong"
