Bad guys hate that there are so many cameras out there filming their actions…

Judges are being shown ‘grisly’ videos of MAGA mob dragging Capitol cops that have yet to be seen by public

The footage shows that one officer “lay on his stomach, surrounded, as… rioters beat him with an upside-down American flag on a flagpole and other objects,” writes CNN.

A second officer, meanwhile, was dragged into the crowd “where rioters took his helmet, cell phone and gas mask and began beating him.”

Lawless vicious right wingers have no respect for anything.

Unfortunately, she has it in selfie mode and doesn’t know it.

So…cell phone cameras are antithetical to the sword & scales of justice? (Oh, yeah, & the earth is flat!

Certainly no justice in big blue state cities run by Democrats. BLM and Antifa are assaulting and murdering people on an almost daily basis as well as destroying and looting businesses. The left doesn’t care a whit about black lives except for how such tragedies are useful for propaganda. If they did they would be up in arms over massive black homicide rate. In Chicago alone their were over 800 homicides over the past year with 585 being black. The count this year so far is 177. See, notice how it’s perfectly fine with the left wingers over the hundreds of blacks killed by their brother blacks because it doesn’t fit into their ideological narrative. Yet, by comparison when an exceeding small number of blacks are killed by cops they go ballistic. Where was Al Sharpton when that three year old black girl was killed in a drive by shooting by black gangsters? Probably in his private gas guzzling, CO2 polluting jet, heading for another photo op.

Well sometimes we can’t even trust law enforcement to even have body cams and/or dash cams on. So I’ll take witness camera phones anytime.

Perfect! If it convicts those who commit the racist acts the use it! Fire the second racist cop in Windsor, Virginia as well!

Elizabeth City, NC is not releasing the police video of the shooting by the police because the DA is “out of the office” until April 27. Imagine what the action if someone at that home had had their phone handy!

Having a portable, easy-to-use, commonly available motion picture camera with a means to quickly upload images is a game changer. This has been one of the greatest innovations of our current century. Everyone should practice using a cellphone camera for documenting bad (and good) behavior on the spot. What’s better than a good guy with a gun? A good guy with a camera. Far better.

Robert, today’s artwork shows what may be the only thing that will offer some semblance of accountability. And thank you.

The biggest problem with my Cell phone is that selecting the Record Video function is difficult to do in a hurry.

If cops can kill you if they see a gun then you don’t have the right to bear arms.

Put’s me in mind of the Silent Witnesses in Heinlein’s “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

Point and shoot!

Cops have forever told people to move along and not watch whatever they’re doing. There’s even a bit of justification when the crowds might interfere with getting cops, ambulances, firefighters or special equipment. But they also shoo you off if you’re just standing back and watching. Sometimes with threats. And that  is with you just using the Mark I eyeball. Add video and they really  hate it. And that, imo, is precisely how Chauvin came to be tried at all, much less convicted. The initial police report said he’d died in hospital, for instance.

Laws, democracy and authority are worthless without accountability.

Wow this is deep! If I perceive this correctly, this refers to video footage of ex-cop Derik Chauvin putting his knee on George Floyd. That certainly was a dynamic incident and the worst case of police brutality ever! Even police officers from other states and cities came to Minneapolis expressing their outrage!

And then, the media misinterprets the photo to fit its point of view!

To paraquote Roy Schneider, “We need more cameras.”
