communicating with police officers, narratives, discrimination

[Karl]

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.

Well police officers do have blaming, endangering, and harming people as
their job right now, under the label of serving and protecting other people.

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.

What's your knowledge?  We all seem to come from different countries, for
one thing.
