They hate the behavior that is coming to light.

Thank God for Cell Phones and wireless companies. Thank god for us. We can change this because the cell phone is becoming mightier than the gun. Full Disclosure: I work in the Cell phone industry at the 'evil empire' and have a 'homeland security function'. Let's use this tool that some in America think serves to oppress - to turn the tables.

That's what is happening here. Video is being used as defense weapon.

It's not hate for us all to engage in Community Policing of the Police - until we get all of those rotten apples thrown out of the bin.
