You can’t seriously be suggesting that the ability to record video with cellphones that even the homeless now own and upload it to be viewed globally by millions in real-time has existed for 30 years.



What's different now? Cops still aren't punished when they murder people, despite the prevalence of cell phones.


You can’t seriously be suggesting that public opinion and awareness about police brutality hasn’t changed in the last 30 years.

>Merely being aghast at extrajudicial killings doesn’t stop them
