That's an interesting comment. It made me go back and look at how I posted about this.
I wrote: -- Get That Camera Video: The War on Journalism. Police steal vloggers camera. -- Not much commentary. I remember having a problem writing a description for this video. Part of the reason was that the video itself was so well done in telling the story and explaining what happened that I wanted to let the viewer hear the story directly from you. It's very powerful. Another reason the text on my post is sparse is that you don't describe the contents of your video in your blog post. A lot of time I like to copy and paste some text from to post I'm reblogging to help describe it. On your post you say: -- "This video is dedicated to Independent Journalists worldwide who've paid a price for seeking the truth ... some more than others. ~presente HOW TO TAKE ACTION It's not like this is the 1st time ... CBS 2 Investigates: Videotape Cops At Own Peril In the last three years, there has been an increase of 25% in civilian complaints against the NYPD. In the last two years, there has been an increase of 12% in lawsuits filed against the NYPD for false arrest, assault, excessive force or other wrongdoing.*" -- So to sum up, your video told the whole story and I basically wanted to link to it so people could watch it themselves.
