If I saw a police officer attacking and brutally beating a homeless man, I would interface. Firstly, I would take a quick photo of the brutal attack because the evidence is essential, and I don't want to be accused of something untrue. There would most likely be bystanders recording this scene because that's how the world works now. We watch injustice happen to innocent people and never stand up for them. I would discourage the officer by yelling at him to stop and telling him that people are recording everything happening. Getting physical with the officer would put me in danger, including everyone around us. A police officer attacking the community they are supposed to protect is not right in the head. It's highly wrong to watch someone get brutally beaten and take a photo for your editor just to get paid.
