The anticlimactic answer is probably that we wait. The internet and its transparency and outrage are both younger and faster than the people currently in charge of our movie studios and police departments. In most cases there probably won't be One True Outrage; the generation currently at the receiving end of all this information will just grow up to be the ones calling the shots. And they will let what they have seen — chokeholds, interrogation tactics, multi-million dollar bonuses — inform their decisions. That is, as long as they haven't gotten too bored of their own convictions before then.
