    Don’t look away, thats what they want, its also a sleight to the life of this man to not bear witness.

    Watch, be enraged, then engage.

    It will hurt your metal health way more to not watch and keep pretending everything is ok.

      Don’t look directly into the trauma-causing footage. That’s what they want. It’s no slight to someone’s life not to personally watch them die. What matters isn’t that you personally watch their death from as many angles as you can. What matters is that you tell the truth about what happened. You can do that without obsessing over watching someone die. In fact, if you think that watching someone die is the important thing, you’re dishonouring them by focusing on the wrong thing.
