Scrutiny on police isn't the issue. I'd mandate for cops and cop cars to be equipped with a dozen+ cameras if I could and it should be legal to always record cops in public.
The issue is a loud crowd forming around an already tough situation and making it worse for everybody. Think about what happens if you have 30 people shouting loudly around a guy resisting arrest and jostling for position trying to get a video for their social media and it's a recipe for disaster. Cops can't communicate with each other and the guy being arrested can't hear commands. It makes an already bad situation more stressful and easier to go wrong.
I get wanting to monitor cops (I'm 100% supporting that) but you can't have a crowd forming 5 feet from a tussle shouting and expect things to be improved.
