Good on Google for not caving:

In a show of good faith today, Google touted the fact that it has refused to cooperate with local law enforcement agencies in the U.S. who requested the removal of YouTube videos of police brutality and criticisms of law enforcement officials. Google cited its transparency report from the first half of this year, but to mention it today is telling. With violent crackdowns at Occupy Oakland this week, citizen media like YouTube have been a vital channel.

I absolutely agree with Google on this one.  Wrong is wrong.  Good for them!!
 
EDIT:  After reviewing some of the video that was in question, I must say that some of the vids look pretty justified to me- not all but some. My issues with the police are the offciers that like to rip the elderly out of vehicles and beat them, intimidate folks, and think that they are placed into communities to intimidate and thug- not to protect and serve. We had a really nasty group in a near by community that they called he flashlight five.  They enjoyed having their way with a mentally handicapped woman- with the flashlights. Way to go guys.... :o :o
 
Working in a prison and being video taped in several cell extractions and a few riots in my carreer, I do know that the video camera can give a questionable impression of what is really going on when several people are in the shot and they are all on top of each other.  And other times, a video camera tells it like it is without question.

That's what you get with the camera! The good, the bad, and the ugly! One "good" doesn't justify the bad in any way, shape, or form!

Sometime police responses have nasty warts...we need to see and acknowledge that reality too!

I can agree that videos should be published, providing they show the WHOLE truth.  So often a video can be shown "out of context" as we saw in the Rodney King case.  A review of what transpired BEFORE the published video, shows that Rodney King likely brought the problems upon himself.
      That should go for police videos also, everything leading up to an altercation should be shown.  Fox News' Judge Napolitano speaks of some 300 odd police videos in Washington state which "conveniently" disappeared.  Videos are good witnesses, but they can be manipulated..
