The problem is they call everything 'evidence' and then they destroy or 'lose' the cell phones they seize so no one else can use evidence of police misconduct.

They've got hundreds of stories of cops seizing video - even from reporters - in order to cover up police misconduct.
can’t trust either sides. But in the conservatives should come down harder on the police - they are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And they CLEARLY DID NOT do this. Confiscating phones, harassing and arresting reporters. And CLEARLY firing tear gas at news crews and then trying to screw up their cameras (despite attempts by pro-police folks to edit it to look otherwise) all indicate this police force is out of control. Too militarized, too aggressive. They have not upheld the US Constitution. That actually makes them worse, morally, than the black guy if he did rob that store.
