> someone live streaming an instance of police brutality

Hasn't that been done for many instances already? People have been live streaming from Ferguson, Egypt, etc.

These new apps are bringing a much more streamlined, accessible method for anyone with a smartphone. People in Ferguson or Egypt likely had a more complex set-up or were posting pre-recorded footage.

Maybe only more complex in that they cost $ to livestream, but I could sit in front of my Roku and watch multiple live streams of Ferguson protests on UStream.
