The venue really doesn't matter considering that the source is effectively unimpeachable. Sure, it might be proper for Apple to err on the side of caution when violence is involved, but in this case, there is definitely violence on both sides, and one side (the state) definitely has the upper hand. Plus, the idea that the app could be used for specific targeting of individual police has pretty clearly been debunked. In the end its really just a question of whether you think Apple should be on the side of egalitarianism or unrestricted profit.
