Civil rights groups are concerned that the police will violate their rights during the Inauguration protests so they intend to record their behavior. Meanwhile, the ACLU is demanding that the police turn off their body worn cameras during the events.
D.C. Police say their policy is to only record when there is a police activity and they do not consider monitoring protests an activity.
These people are lunatics.
spit
Umm...NO! What loons!
Yet those smartphones are going to be on.
Hope their are some conservative Trump supporters close enough to record the protesters.
Congress should pass constitutional amend to strip D.C. Of electorial votes & require they conform to federal law. Also, all federal workers, except military should be prohibited from voting in federal elections.
So they only monitor Police activity. Then why is the Officer assigned to the protest? Sounds like Police activity to me. He is there to maintain order. Now if the officer was hanging out in the Breakroom, having a bite to eat, then OK, that is not Police activity. This is totally word smith insanity and devoid of logic. We all know why they want them Off. So that when all hell breaks lose there is only one video record of the event and it is not from the evil Police
There's no way to salvage this mess.
And, in four years, after Trump has benefited our economy and nation, the above named wastes-of-oxygen will again appeal to the snowflake generation, malcontents, and liberals to put someone along the lines of an O'Dummy or Klinton in the white shack.
With all the potential terrorist activity, there should be as many cameras as possible recording everything.
The libs intended the body cameras to prove the rampant police brutality, when in reality - it more often shows the perpetrator started the confrontation. Which is why they want them off.
Now if the officer was hanging out in the Breakroom, having a bite to eat, then OK, that is not Police activity.
= = =
But eating donuts — that IS Police activity.
ACLU is DEMANDING? Who the hell do they think they are to be giving orders to law enforcement?
I’ll be so glad to see Friday come and go so the sane adults will be in charge.
That means bad stuff is planned.
Police should keep the CAMS ON for protection of citizens and themselves. The cams are arguably the first defense, with firepower being the backup, if bad people aren’t deterred by daylight / exposure.
How else can they provoke cops into reacting and then edit the videos for whatever effect makes the cops look worst, if there are other more accurate videos out there recording the same confrontations?
Only tards expect to function in a world of unaccountability.
Anyone care to guess how many cameras will be aimed at the crowds at the Inaguration, not counting cell phones?
I’ll bet it’ll be thousands. Didn’t we read about a camera that can snap a picture of tens or thousands and make out each face (that’s looking at the camera)?
What's next?
Will they demand the right to edit LEO body cam records before they can be used to document encounters with blacks?
I would't doubt it.
Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed
"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."
"Yet they do."
"Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."
"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."
"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who havent read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."
"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

It will be like John Lewis and the CBC ‘being called the N word’ by those nasty Tea Partiers. If it weren’t for all those darn cell phones by civilians, they would have been believed. Can’t have the hoi polloi recording them and proving their lies, can they.
There, fixed the grammar (but can't fix the stupid!).
