The guy taking trophy photos of himself with Mr. Nichols after the beating cannot be said to have forgotten he was in front of a camera, nor can it be said that he did not think other cops would see the photos, since he took the photos and sent them to other cops.

This disproves any hypothesis that the murdering cops were simply carried away and forgot they were being filmed.

Why? I'd say it fits that hypothesis even better, if anything.

@Pants-of-dog do you understand that the fact that the cop believed he had control over who would see any footage of the incident further reinforces the idea that he didn't take institutional factors into account?

It is precisely because he did not decide who sees what happened that he's being prosecuted.
