Police who raided a marijuana store, destroying security cameras and the DVR, harassing the store's customers, consuming edible marijuana products, and playing darts, were caught on camera. The cops claim that said recording is illegal because the cops had an expectation of privacy after destroying all of the security cameras.
I wish I could make up this stuff.

So why aren't you protesting? Why aren't you pushing it on the media? You're just as guilty as the people you're chastising, hypocrite.

Tu quoque. Why aren't you doing so too? In fact, how do you know he's not? One person can only do so much, and few people are as charismatic as MLK.

Close, but I never stated or implied that the point wasn't valid or should be ignored based on his hypocrisy, which is what makes it a fallacy ('you're not also doing it, so your point is invalid'). There's nothing fallicious about simply pointing out hypocrisy.

Then it's not close; my implication that it was an example of tu quoque was simply incorrect. But it is hard to tell sometimes, as hypocrisy is often used as a way to dismiss someone's arguments in and of itself.

Why would I be protesting? I'm not protesting the other ones. The protests are done in bad faith based upon the assumption that the police are wrong. By the time the facts of the case are known, the protests overshadow the facts and the actions of the parties involved receive an inaccurate re-appraisal in the context of the protesting.

Murder is always wrong. Police are not judges nor executioners, if they kill anyone they are automatically in the wrong. This is not the Judge Dredd universe, the job of police is to bring in suspected criminals so they can go to court, not act as judge, jury, and executioner.
