If you know any cops at all, ask them. They'll tell you. Every time it becomes necessary to deal with a potential lawbreaker - whether we're talking about a simple traffic stop or someone getting violent with the cop or with someone else - it's always in their back of their minds that the slightest aggressive move could result in the media showing up and completely misrepresenting the situation, or worse, someone shooting a video with their phone, then editing the footage so they can upload it to YouTube and further the fashionable narrative of thuggish cops preying on the citizenry.
