    Getting beat by police doesn’t change anything. You know what does? Watching and recording and being a witness to the illegal actions. If you were arrested by the police and yell about their abuse, it won’t matter unless you have witnesses to back you up. Both are needed.

      True. But what if that person was beaten to death, and you could have prevented that by intervening. That would be changed by getting beat. Or if multiple people were to aid you, the cops could be moved away.
