I’m convinced they are the former thug teenagers who got dozens of tickets for acting like asses in their first cars.

That is supposed to be the wonderful thing about a First Amendment. Most of these videos have comment areas. Bring on the critiques and the debates.
It’s shying away from the whole idea of critiques that has put us in Coward City.
We used to believe that truth would be powerful enough to win. And when we believed it, generally it DID win. We have only ourselves to blame for now shying away from the idea.

If you are NOT Doing Anything Wrong, You have Nothing to worry about!
Heard it a million times from those in magic blue costumes
No matter how much things change, California stays the same.
“... have stopped policing as aggressively as they used to”
Good.
I don't need uniformed revenooers to watch over my every life move.
I can take care of my own business, like the Founding Fathers, thank you very much.
Bring it. A country boy can survive...

Thank you. Video has never been easier to manipulate than it is now, yet more people seem to believe that video is always objective than ever before. It’s irrational.
There are plenty of posters who defend the cop, even when the cop is clearly acting in an illegal manner.
It's disgraceful.
The topic of the posted piece is about “mayors, police chiefs, U.S. attorneys and even FBI Director James Comey” wanting to outlaw videos of police interactions with non-government residents.
I wouldn’t blame Youtube. I’d blame the race pimp in the White House, and the Libertarians who have been hating cops for years.
Shying away from it? Its commonplace now, and in my experience plenty of cops have lost their jobs or have been disciplined because a video shows a part of the story that looks bad and thus brings on negative press. That part of the story always becomes the entire story.
Truth? Its pretty goddamn irrelevant to the media, the cop haters, and the low information public.
Again I believe recording has its place. My coworkers wear body cams. Its exonerated one of them from a very recent complaint. That said its hurt a couple in court because the cameras don’t have a 360 degree slow mo high-definition 3d impossible vision of an incident, and in the jury’s mind if something wasn’t caught on that one bouncing camera it obviously could never have happened.
If a good case can’t be made in court for things that ought to be winners then maybe there are reputation problems. Just sayin’.
And here’s a hint, it takes a lot of things to create a reputation. People who will not clean their house tend to invite others who will, and those others may well NOT be fair.
Aso the disdaining of trusting in truth means automatically a disdaining of God. You’re going to find you’re trusting in quicksand. The devil has got you looking right where he wants you to look, pal. He knows he can get you to run down just about anything once he has done that. Don’t show even a piece of something objective if you can’t think of an automatic way to spin it to your favor. That just makes you look worse, of course.
This is not some esoteric thing to be argued in a theological school or debated in a Sunday school class. It is solid and real.
'Inexplicably'!!!!! In places where people can't carry a gun in a law-abiding way without being rich! That's a laugh!
So why aren’t police unions demanding all cops be equipped with body cams so they can get the full story out?
HPD officer wounds teen suspect after attempted ambush in Montrose area
KHOU Staff, KHOU.com 5:11 p.m. CDT October 9, 2015
HOUSTON – A group of suspects targeted the wrong person to ambush after one of them was shot by a Houston police officer they were following on the way home late Thursday.
According to the Houston Police Department, it started at 11:30 p.m. when the 34-year veteran officer was heading home in his personal vehicle from a second job and noticed he was being followed as he drove down Woodhead Street in the Montrose area.
The officer turned onto Indiana Street to see if the car would keep going, but it didn’t. The suspect vehicle stopped and one male got out with a gun in hand. The suspect started toward the officer, who happened to still be in uniform.
The officer got out of his car and repeatedly identified himself as a police officer and ordered the suspect to stop. The suspect ignored the command and pointed his gun at the officer.
“At that point in time, a rear passenger got out and began running toward the sergeant as he went under street light he had arm extended and was shooting pistol directly at the sergeant,” Kese Smith, with HPD, said.
