Protect your community by recording the police, and to give them pause to maybe think a bit, to record the police as a routine habit.

What a strange strange world we live in.

Even people who are getting hassled can turn on their phones in their pockets to at least record what's going on. Maybe not as good as video, but better than having the phone smashed.
