I support putting body cameras on EBT card parasites, deadbeat dads, and illegal dreamers.
Mind Reading machines wouldn’t convince the race baiting crowd.
I loved when Stephanopoulos asked him, “Why didn’t you just let him walk away?”, Wilson said something to the affect of, “Because it’s my job”...
Its what cops are paid to do, arrest bad people to prevent them from continuing to hurt society...so we should expect cops to just give up after a struggle and an assault?
Like Bill Ayers calling the Chicago Police when a Fox News camera crew stopped him on the streets...I would have loved to been on the other end of that call...
Nothing shuts up idiots with an ounce of knowledge and a pound of opinion...
If Officer Wilson had been wearing a body camera, the race baiters would say the video had been faked or altered.
In an officer involved shooting, body cameras mounted on the officers chest, will most of the time, not get the footage expected.
Officers are trained to seek “cover” whenever possible, resulting in camera footage of the barrier that the officer has placed between him/herself and the assailant. When cover is not available, officers are trained to hold their firearm with both hands; this will result in body camera footage of the officer’s arms.
This will lead to charges of officers deliberately making sure that footage of their “illegal” actions are not captured.
Officer cameras should really be mounted at the officers eye level, rather than at chest level.
That’s what it’s all about.
They want to be able to do or get anything they want, without consequences. Hands off, just gimme what I want.
And half the population will continue to bend over for them. All part of the plan.
I think body cameras for officers is a dandy idea.
Protects both the public from rogue cops and cops from criminals.
I support body and dash cams for the same reason I support voter ID. It makes it more difficult to cheat.
We can not bend American life around lefttards. The cameras will help put race baiting to bed quickly. Like “hands up, don’t shoot” would have been dead in the cradle if Officer Wilson had worn a cam. Bear Brown did not have his hands up.
Even though the Left acts as if facts don’t matter...they do matter and their lies are born in the darkness. Also, there are a few bad cops who will be nailed by cams and the cams will be a deterrent to those who have problems because they will know they are being watched.
When cops are misbehaving, citizens have taken recordings and some States make recording them illegal and sometimes the misbehaving cops are bullies to the people recording them and steal their cameras and even rough them up and/or arrest them. Now they will be recorded systematically. It will help good cops who are decent and respectful (professional), mostly. It will protect police officers from false charges. It should make a difference in promotions as excellent performance is recorded and diminish race-baiting in promotions.
I’m surprised he didn’t have a Taser.

....What about his Taser? Wilson wasn’t carrying one. “It is not the most comfortable thing,”
he said. “They are very large; I don’t have a lot of room in the front for it to be positioned.”
