This video gets at the root of a fundamental divide:  "innocent until proven guilty", or "guilty until proven innocent".  Your answer as to which philosophy you hold, and the degree to which you hold it, will greatly influence your political position.  Progressives seem to basically hold to the latter, as it applies to individuals, and to the former as it applies to government.  Conservatives hold to the former for individuals, and to the latter as it applies to government.
