This is a new level of transparency. Many police in the past didn't fear what they did being observed in public. Then the nation went into SWAT and undercover for 'drugs' and 'terrorism' and hiding behind their gear. This is an interesting development, but the leadership at the top that gives the orders has got some explaining to do about these actions, too, or they will just keep going. This is so emblematic of our era, that 'they' are watching us and 'we' are watching 'them' now, too. And things do change when they are being observed, or stop to take the time to look back, normally.
