Several bodycam videos of members of the public behaving very badly and attacking the police have emerged in the last week or so and the police have been accused of engaging in a PR campaign. And they probably are. The police respond by claiming it is evidence of an increasingly hostile attitude towards it's members.
Over objections of civil liberties groups I can't see anything wrong with it really, if it's good enough for the police to be filmed behaving badly and worse there should be no reason to hold back the other side. It is what it is.
And how about we just stop attacking each other? That might be a good idea. What better way to start than to film absolutely everything?
Post your videos here.
(No ott or Pusey death pics out of Melbourne thanks.)

Police under siege or PR campaign?: What's driving the release of violent body cam footage?
A number of videos have emerged online this week showing police officers under threat from people with knives, enduring verbal abuse, and being spat at, choked and beaten. Is it a PR campaign or a necessary reminder of what police are facing?
