Law Enforcement Officer chat videos?

Another thread made me realize that news videos of BAOC people up against the wall for police stops are all over the place, but any friendly follow up chats are not.

Are Officers willing to be caught on video in a way that displays an open, friendly relationship with the open carriers?

If the public realized that police can be comfortable around these open carriers it would 1) let the general populace know they can relax and 2)cause Brady Campaign much gnashing of teeth in trying to portray an image of thugs.

Another possible benefit to getting air time for amiable LEO/OC chats would be that viewers would begin to associate police and open carriers and perhaps develop the view that they are similar (protection).

Right now it is a sort of us/them thing, but that could change to the point viewers begin to realize that carry is supplemental.
