Police are always more concerned about their own safety, then protecting the public. I see no reason for them to be at the meetings, anyway. In fact, every meeting I ever attended was a total waste of time, in any event. More people ought to listen to police scanners. Oh, wait, that doesn't work anymore, the police are using encrypted channels now. No matter, people need to use there cell phones to transmit live video feed of police in action, whenever and where ever the are encountered, and if the police try to grab the camera, it will be seen in real time as it is being recoded in an account in the Cloud.
