Imho this is not about what position we hold on football hooligans or on violence against police under different circumstances.

This is about whether the police can be trusted (ha!) if it uses AI fakes to “illustrate” acts of violence. There might even be (legal, moral or other) reasons for not using actual footage - but then just report on the facts without a photo. It’s that simple.

Thanks for adding the clarification!

Still, I find the AI generation of what is supposed to look like evidence of violence against the police outrageous, even in cases where there was violence against a police officer. I mean, in fact, I find the use of AI to provide something that looks like evidence terrible in any case; it is just worse if by a public institution, and even worse if supposedly documenting violence.
