(Remember how the media replayed the 911 call during the martin thing? They deliberately left out the race question asked by the 911 operator, and made the recording sound like zimmerman didn't like martin simply because he was a black man.)

And no reason to think they won't do the same thing with a po-po body cam video on the Nightly News.

The cops I know actually want body cams, because they’d get a lot more convictions. Already, there’s an anarchist group that’s suing to stop the department from using them.

The problem is that most departments can’t afford them. The cameras don’t cost much, but the recordings have got to be stored for years, and digital data storage is very expensive.
