How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct

Know your rights.

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.

THIS is exactly it. I should have dropped a class after like 3 days it wasn’t even to like a worse class (AP bio to IB bio to take AP bio again next year) but I didn’t because I didn’t want to feel dumb for dropping a class and I didn’t want people to think I’m dumb for dropping a class. There’s nothing even wrong with dropping a class it means you know your limits. But I was so obsessed with seeming or feeling smart that I got myself in trouble that could affect my college chances.

The worst part of being a “gifted kid” is being praised for getting your academic side before your emotional and interpersonal side and then being left to drown because you can’t emotionally understand that you still have value when someone is smarter than you.

I’m a smart kid, don’t get me wrong. I’m taking honors and AP classes, and I could’ve been taking classes at the community college if I hadn’t had a badly placed breakdown.

But I’m about to have a meltdown because there’s a kid in my AP Physics class who’s got a higher grade than I do. I learned how to craft a damn near impeccable lab write-up, and saddled myself with two incredibly smart and focused individuals. But this one guy has a better grade then me and I’ve been sitting here with my AP Physics Mock Test trying not to cry because it doesn’t make sense and I know that he gets it.

I didn’t even sign up for the AP test because I just know that he would get a better grade and then I’d have to scream and meltdown because I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t even know why I care so much! I didn’t even want to take this class! I would’ve dropped it at the beginning of the year but a friend of mine dropped it and my gifted kid brain decided I had to prove it was easy by passing the class.

Why can’t I be okay with not being the smartest? I don’t have anything to prove, I’m already taking advanced classes! I just want to be okay with people being slightly more understanding of a certain subject than I am.

Can we as a society start responding to every single one of Trump's tweets with "ok boomer"? I'd love to see how angry the conservatives would get if the comments on the president's tweets were just FILLED with "ok boomer".
