I'd be happy to send you the code if you want to setup that site. This is where my moral compass lies. If you have any advice on how I could make sure this site doesn't enflame the situation and is rather used as a reminder about the lows we have stopped to as a species I'd be happy to integrate them

Good luck. I say that sincerely, not sarcastically. I think a core problem with the situation is that the masses on one side think of these events as one-offs. They're not convinced its a systemic problem because they don't see the "everyday" brutality. The masses on the other side don't see it as a systemic problem either, not exactly anyway; they see it as all cops being racist murderers at heart. Whether one side is closer to the truth than the other side is largely irrelevant, because neither view helps resolve the issue. Neither side can hear the other side because their own personal experience is completely at odds with the other side's point of view. I can't access the site, so I have no idea what you've actually got set up; but I'd suggest excluding any kind of comments section would be the number one thing to keep from inflaming the situation. People can talk about it elsewhere by linking to your site if they must. The smaller those discussion groups are, the more likely they are to maintain reasonable discourse, change minds, and consider solutions.

  Thank you. Hopefully sites like this will quickly dry up and die due to the issues faced being stamped out of society. I agree with what you say. When it comes to things that are as violent as these videos I think you make a subconscious decision. You link the uniform to your views on the matter and unfortunately everybody is painted with the same brush. This is not about an organisation, it is about individuals. There are definitely not any comments allowed on the site because it wouldn't be constructive. Any discussion around what's in these videos should be kept to the places where change can happen.
