I suppose it's just the world we live in these days, something we'll just have to get used to. I've had one person say to me that it's useful for the security forces to use as evidence afterwards! I don't buy that for a minute!Exactly, doesn't matter how hard you are if they have guns and huge machetes that will take your arm off and are intent on killing as many as possible.
I'm not sure about the thought process to get their phones out or even in the aftermath start filming things.
I can't see how it would even come into your mind at that split second.I suppose it's just the world we live in these days, something we'll just have to get used to. I've had one person say to me that it's useful for the security forces to use as evidence afterwards! I don't buy that for a minute!

Exactly. I don't get what help it would give the police anyway? 99 out of 100 of these cases are "known to the police" anyway! Some sketchy video filmed from a couple of hundred yards away of people's feet stampeding away isn't gonna help anyone? Just the sun newspaper!I can't see how it would even come into your mind at that split second.
If it is for that reason you hand it to the police and not tweet it.

And this is where my problem with journos/paps is. It's all well and good getting thir scoop, first on the scene, pats on the back all round, job well done. But do they ever stop a think about the victim? The families of the victim and the impact it has on them?I watched a film the other week, think it was called night crawler. Bloke got to crime scenes to film it for a living to sell it to the news. Was quite good
It's the equivalent of people standing and staring at such events or slowing down for car crashes.
It's worse I think, as they are thinking "I'd better film this for social media". It's human nature to see.
Yep, exactly. Stuff goes up online worryingly quickly. People just want to go viral and be recognised.
That's genuinely horrible.When I was living in Pompey there was a chap, obviously with mental health issues, threatening to jump off the top of the car park. The police etc were trying to talk him down while there was a crowd below filming it and chanting at him to jump. Disgusting behaviour.

Yep - I remember it wellWhen I was living in Pompey there was a chap, obviously with mental health issues, threatening to jump off the top of the car park. The police etc were trying to talk him down while there was a crowd below filming it and chanting at him to jump. Disgusting behaviour.
Maybe, but my guess is a university. So diverse, so many backpacks and rucksacks donned day to day anyway and so many thousands of students in and out, constantly moving.
I think in some locations in life (train, shopping mall) you can look out perhaps for a suspicious, bearded, Islamic looking (if there is such a thing) person with a backpack.
Hardly going to stand out at a university though are they.
The more they blend in the easier it may prove to be for them.
I wonder, how many, if any, could of lived with his death on their conscience had he of jumped!When I was living in Pompey there was a chap, obviously with mental health issues, threatening to jump off the top of the car park.
