As Black Lives Matter protests have spread across America, more and more people have begun sharing clips of police violence online. It’s not just happening at protests, either: sometimes police violence is captured in everyday life. • On June 2nd, a traffic stop in Baytown, Texas turned violent when a couple friends began to question the arrest of a black man. One man recorded the clip and it went viral, but it didn’t end there. It set off a ripple effect across his life and the city of Baytown, Texas. • What happens when someone uses technology to glare back at police interactions? For Isaiah Benavides, it may have put him in harm’s way. • This video is part of a larger project at The Verge that looks at the power and consequences of filming police violence.
