What to Do at the Scene

First, if you feel threatened by a police officer or witness a police officer brutalizing another person, remain calm and try to record as many details as possible. Smartphones are invaluable tools, as almost every smartphone has some sort of video camera. If recording is not an option, do your best to remain calm and remember as many pertinent details as possible. After the incident, take the time to write down everything you saw and gather information from other witnesses.
