The lines are definitely becoming blurred. Go on tiktok and you’ll see half of an interaction and it’ll get millions of views with strong opinions with no context. I’m pretty sure that’s what the people filming here were hoping for. A “viral” moment, hence the antagonizing and encouraging going on.

I mean I’m all for folks recording police officers. They need to be accountable to the broader public and body cams and citizen bystanders are good ways to do that. But yeah people trying to treat all that like a joke and just film for clout aren’t helping anyone.
