Why many Americans don't trust police anymore, in 7 videos - Vox


Why many Americans don't trust police anymore, in 7 videos - Vox: "Behind this trend is one critical factor: video. The proliferation of video through smartphones, dashboard cameras, and body cameras — and social media's ability to send a video into viral overdrive — has played a major role in holding police accountable, especially this year. At the very least, video has helped weaken the infallibility that seemed to surround police — a sense that allowed officers' testimony to be viewed as more credible than those who lodged complaints against them." 'via Blog this'
