I don’t think police brutality and malfeasance has increased. It’s always been there. However, with social media so fast and powerful and the advent of cheap video devices (cell phones) and the proliferation of them, it’s much easier to record events.

As I’ve been listening to black folk, it’s always been this way. What’s different this go around is the technology and the information. While this creates more opportunities for disinformation, it’s much harder to hide the truth than it previously was.
