Well, if you put your hands on me with hostile intent, you're implicitly giving me permission to return the favor.

This is a universal law that every child understands.

Given that all I did was carry those people outside and then tell them that if we wanted to fight, we could fight away from expensive/fragile things, I was if anything, too forgiving.

I was supposed to be escorted out by security one time at a best buy (I won a bet against the store manager and he was trying to slip on it). I refused the escort. When they told me that it wasn't an option, I fireman-carried both the manager and the security guy outside and explained that if you can't take it don't dish it out. Americans are weird sometimes!

Had a workshop fire last year and what did the job for me was having two drives (working copy, and a rolling backup done with SVN) on physically opposite sides of the workshop. If it's not a lot of stuff, just use USB sticks that are physically scattered around your place, one will survive.

The counter-move by the securistas is to not show these to grand juries, or decline to prosecute. Unfortunately, that's basically zero overhead and zero risk compared to what citizen activists have to do.

Unless we start kicking DA's out of office for being soft on blue crime...

Another counter in the securistas' arsenal is declaring by law that a cop's word is worth more than video: https://www.techdirt.com/artic... this madness has been attempted already and may even succeed.
