That's a good thing (tm).
Put one a street department guy, and all you get is a picture of a shovel handle and arms across the chest as they watch the work get done.
Put one on a legislator, and you get PPV quality video.
Yeah... I like body cams for public employees.

I have nothing against police having body cams, it’s just sad that we’ve come to the point they’re a necessity.
***Yeah... I like body cams for public employees.***
Reminds me of an old Playboy cartoon from the late 1960s.
A reporter, with a small video broadcast camera strapped around his neck, lens pointing down, leaves the Mens rest room.
Other employee rush to him yelling...JOHN! JOHN! YOUR BROADCAST CAMERA IS ON!”
All public employees should have body cams. Such as Lois Lerner, so a record of what was on her computer screen when she hit “send” would have been recorded. There is no secret to why police have to wear them, shooting citizens (including innocent citizens) at the rate they do. That said, lying about an incident so as to falsely play the race card seems like a firing offense, and I’m glad the officer both was decent and also had a body cam to exonerate himself and show the world what actually happened that night.
I said this on another thread as well. The reason police have been getting a lot of hate from the government and media is because Obama and Holder first have to discredit the police in the eyes of the black community, and white community. Once that is complete and the police have been vilified by the left, you’ll start hearing about a national police force. Which will be made up mostly of black racists. They will kill 2 birds with one stone: A police force loyal to the President, and tons of “jobs” for unemployed blacks(which will be why the media and all leftists will praise this solution). Then they will take the guns.
Look for more “false flag” type attacks on police. Michael Brown had said on his facebook a day or so before he died something implying that he would be viewed as a martyr.
It may not be Obama that does it, but they are paving the way for someone much much worse. We haven’t seen nothing yet, that is why it is very important to stop the left now. Get conservatives into media positions, education positions, and government now. If it’s still possible. But I don’t think it is. I think we have passed the point of no return.
