The authority and standing of many local authorities was damaged most by a guy who has been dead for a while now. He was a real A*hole. You have probably heard of him. His name was Steve Jobs.
What he did was to put cameras and video recording capabilities into the phones of millions of people whether they wanted the option or not.
This subsequently lead to the collapse of the illusion that law enforcement only did bad things every now and then. YouTube brought about more law enforcement corruption cleanup in opening decade of the twenty first century than the combined efforts of all reformers in the twentieth century.
The race baitors and communist agitators have a firm foundation of actual bad behaviors to work with.

Absolutely true.
Ubiquitous cameras in the hands of everyday folk have made it fairly clear that the "officer friendly" of yesterday is either just gone, or was always mostly a myth.
Whereas before, it was your word against his. Now we have recordings.
That’s part of the real issue here.
There are bad cops.
This does not excuse looters and rioters.
