Oh right the death that only happens to people who die in police custody and has never been proven to actually exist. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that, thank you NYT for showing all sides of the issue.

A sudden acute case of “Die in Custody Syndrome,” the disease where you suddenly and inexplicably die in police custody

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.
