But intentionally provoking the police while threatening and intimidating nonviolent protestors who have cameras, as seems to be happening here, is counterproductive.

Especially in a context where many folks are demanding body cams for cops.

If somebody is so embarrassed by their own actions that they feel the need to threaten protestors with cameras who record it, maybe it's not the protestors with cameras who are the problem.

Maybe the problem is with those who threaten protestors with cameras and attempt to provoke violence.
