Much better people than I have been dead or in prison in the name of preserving or gaining civil rights. And many more people are freer because of those people.

Sometimes people have to die or go to prison so that others may live or be free.
We should all hope to never have to be one of those people, but if someone, somewhere isn't or hasn't been, things will get worse and not better.
- mikeash 10y agoGetting killed or framed by a police officer because you stopped recording him and give him the opportunity to act in secret doesn't do anything to advance the cause of civil rights.
- jat850 10y agoI think I misunderstood the last part of your original comment in the context of your first part. I understood it to mean that one should stop recording in an effort to survive or not get arrested, but re-reading it I do not think that's what you meant, but the opposite. To clarify my own comment, I'd be of the belief that one should not stop recording, even if that means getting arrested or dead (both unfortunate outcomes, but both sometimes necessary in advancement of civil rights for a greater number of others).
