Taping this clandestinely and then revealing on YouTube or whatever certainly may lead to winning a lawsuit or the like, but it certainly is not helpful in stopping a crime in progress (aka the relentless, punitive electrocution of a defenseless human).

Clearly jumping the police is not the first or even second option, but at some point (somewhere in the wide spectrum from overly rough handcuffing to face punching to broom stick anal ramming) one must step in to stop an act of evil that one is witnessing and whether the person is a policeman or not relevant if you are certain that the act is an act of evil.

So, announcing the presence of the camera as well as being forceful and specific about asserting a citizens civil rights (I myself cannot be specific though ;)) seems to be a very good alternative to just asking for a badge number. If the policeman did take the camera away, frankly that would further damn them and show their true stripes.

Did I make the case? Is videoing everything our best response to this kind of thing? I think so.
