There's a quote that I honestly am too lazy to figure out who it's attributed to.. but it's something to the effect of "Evil prevails because good men do nothing."

No worries, mal, I didn't take it as a negative, but it did get me thinking. During the event, part of me was in a state of disbelief that I was witnessing it. The other part of disbelief was that the police car who stopped initially was only a block and a half away, yet they still went ahead and assaulted her. They seemed wholly unconcerned that anyone was around, considering they were in the middle of the street.
It honestly didn't occur to me to grab my camera, but you make a good argument for me to keep it nearby at all times.

That's pretty much exactly what was going through my mind. The odd thing is, 10 years ago I wouldn't have hesitated to call. I've called a few times before when I've witnessed events. Maybe I've just become a bit too jaded for my own good.
