Comment on Police Violated Reckless Ben's Rights [59:00]

The unredacted body cam footage was not leaked. It was incompetently made available by the local government in response to a public information request.
And it is morally corrupt local cops being exactly the thing we have come to know.
I’m not usually an ACAB kinda guy… But this makes a really strong case for it.
Ben really was much more polite and cooperative with these cops than he needed to be. The fact that this is still happening is probably going to convince more people that policing is broken than it would have otherwise.
Imagine what they get up to when they don’t have a camera in their face.

Those who don’t directly perpetrate it cover it up, hence the first A in ACAB.
