Didn't you know, for anyone who dares stand up against police abuse of power, it's all about them. It's all "ME! ME! ME!"

Why, posting police abuse of power is just being an attention whore.

Informing the public of incidents where cops are stepping out of bounds is just promoting yourself.

At least that's the talking points paraded out by DU's gang of authoritarian trolls when someone films police abuses.
