If I believed those video's, then wouldn't I also be required to believe the videos depicting Harry Potter, as evidence?
Lol, here it comes. Now we're going to conflate actual evidence, including any scientific evidence that may exist for a particular claim, with testimony. Why you think peer reviewed scientific evidence is at all relevant or appropriate in the case of whether or not cops exist and shoot people is...beyond my comprehension. I mean, in terms of scientific evidence, are you talking about things like criminal forensics? Ballistics results? Blood spatter? Determination of probable murder weapons? Because...ya know...that IS actually science, lol.
I think you are confused (that is not my position at all).... testimony, only applies, when one shares the personal experience or observation, and the receiver did not see or experience the evidence first hand. It is a transfer of knowledge, from one to another. And I only brought up the scientific peer review thing, because that too is often misappropiately roughy up as a rejection at times here. I am glad that you can see the category error.

How can you NOT see how utterly vapid, desperate, and irrational such a question is, RR?
You are catching on.... you can repeat it, next goal is understanding.
