> It's always ethical to film police misconduct, in fact what's unethical is that they're not already filming themselves

The issue is filming what else might be going on around, which may be sensitive.

In general, if you are able to film police misconduct, you are in the public sphere. If the stuff going an around them is sensitive, the ethical thing to do isn't to abstain from filming, but to be careful who you share the video with.

As explained in the article, “filming ethically” might mean, for example, keeping the faces of bystanders out of the shot and things like that. You’re attacking a straw man.
