I agree -- I sacrificed clarity for flippancy. I meant to imply that the idea that police videos are sacrosanct because they have chain of custody is laughable

I agree -- I sacrificed clarity for flippancy. I meant to imply that the idea that police videos are sacrosanct because they have chain of custody is laughable. The police are the parties with the greatest motive to doctor the videos, and how many times have you heard that important video evidence of alleged police brutality is "missing" or "lost?" Pretty damn often.
