submit all video clips to youtube and other multimedia news sources.
Be careful with the video you submit. Several things to keep in mind:
1. Don't upload ANY video that shows people doing anything illegal. The police are watching all these videos so don't put evidence in their hands.
2. If you have to include a clip of someone, say, fighting back against the police, in order to show police brutality, be sure to blur the face of that person.
3. If you put clips on YouTube, keep this in mind: a) you are doing free labor for YouTube and allowing them to make money from ads off of your content; b) YouTube will take your material down as soon as LAPD or the feds ask them to; c) YouTube will give your IP address to the police, which allows them to track the video to the person who uploaded it (you).
So, YouTube may be a good way to get things seen, but it is NOT a safe or long term solution for movement media. So what can you do?
- upload to noncommercial sites like archive.org, ourmedia.org, and indymedia.org (including video.indymedia.org). These sites won't make money off of you, and some of them (like Indymedia) won't track your IP address, won't take material down on request of the pigs, and will do everything they can to defend your rights to privacy and free speech if need be.
Don't hate the media - become the media!
peace

telling people not to submit video because it may prove a cops point is wrong, telling people to censor tapes is wrong, and prohibiting the freedom to present all the evidence of this event is WRONG. Post everything unedited, let the people decide!
