I hope that

individuals who feel that police officers are or can be victims of unfair assumptions and accusations based on small snippets of evidence potentially taken completely out of context, also are able to see that police (at least sometimes, maybe? i mean, we can agree maybe it happened once? no? well that seems unreasonable) are guilty of engaging in the same sort of destructive, presumptive, biased projection of force onto others.

because that's a significant part of their job, and it's as unfair to the victims of their unjust application of force (NAY!!! NAY i say, it's even moreso) as these new cell phone-based moments and the accompanying fallout are to police.

so like, yeah, you might have a point, but you also see how this relates to you, right?

and then you look for a moment of (potentially fairly overwhelming, but not likely) realization. if you see none, you know for sure what you're dealing with, at least for the foreseeable future. if you see such a moment, you then may go on to decide the degree to which the moment has promise as the motivation for lasting behavioral change. most of the time it will have little to none. then your really left deciding what your own abyss looks like, and will look like in the future. will it look like "tried to do the right thing, even when no one was looking" or will it not?
