> They antagonize officers who can't do anything about it The officers can't do anything about it because it's not illegal to film police officers in public while carrying out their official duties. It's a constitutionally protected activity. Is it at times obnoxious? Sure. (Although in many cases, these videos capture police officers behaving badly, rather than live-streamers behaving badly.) A lot of First Amendment protected activity is irritating to at least some people. Cursing at police is, in general, a First Amendment protected activity, and I don't suspect a lot of officers appreciate that, either. But the entire point of the First Amendment is to protect activity that other people might not like.
