May be if you don't limit it to cops, but include any "unnecessary use of violence", then it could be more likely to garner omni partisan support, rather than be seen by one particular as a direct attack on them - which seems counter productive. To this end, you could call it "moron watch". As soon as partisanship shows it's ugly troll face, you will lose supporters, you lose the moral high ground, and you turbo charge the divisions that are happening that some people like to deny...

Punk, would you be interested in helping preserve videos of police violence? Copwatch projects are hard to maintain because they can be seen as counter to the local authorities.

There is proof inside many peoples' electronics. Proof that a marketing group would contract development of a frightening virus. A virus that responds to peoples' keystrokes and browsing habits, and changes what people see on their devices. A virus that alters political behavior en masse, for profit.

I've bumped into some really nice police officers.
there is no such thing.
Well police officers do have blaming, endangering, and harming people as their job right now, under the label of serving and protecting other people.
It seems highly unfortunate they direct people to prisons instead of mediation.
so you're acknowledging that your 'nice' worthless pieces of shit do very un-nice things eh? See, when you put two flatly contradictory sentences side by side like you did, you should realize your reasoning is (pretty) flawed.
What's most important is handling what actually happens, yes, but I differentiate between who people are, and what harm they are one of the causes of. For example, it is kind of you to defend those of us who have been severely harmed by a cop, but to cops it is an un-nice thing to express worthlessness around them. I do not take sides in the end. I still have experiences I am passionate about.
it may be in your personal interest to keep in mind that many police
officers at least originally joined the police because they either
wanted
to make a positive difference in their community,
false
What's your knowledge? We all seem to come from different countries, for one thing.
