On The Line: Avi Asher-Schapiro on Cop Watch

VICE News journalist Avi Asher-Schapiro joined On The Line to discuss his new piece about Cop Watch. Over the past year-and-a-half, police violence in places like New York, Baltimore, and Ferguson grabbed headlines, sparked mass protest, and drove down public confidence in law enforcement to a 22 year low. In response, people across the country have been fashioning makeshift uniforms, arming themselves with cameras, and patrolling streets to document police misconduct. It's an explosion of a movement that has been around for many years. This is Copwatch.
