Something that is not mentioned in this story is WHY the officers destroyed the surveliance system. Is that part of their procedure manuals or training?
You would think they would want to preserve as much evidence as possible to bolster their case and prove they acted according to law. Instead they destroyed the camera system.
But no one asked the officer WHY they felt they had to disable them (it’obvious to us)
What LAW or PROCEDURE says “disable all video when conducting a raid”
My question exactly. Like when the BART cops started collecting cell phones after the New Years Eve murder... by what authority?
Probably the same one that tells SWAT teams to shoot any dogs on sight, from a pit bill to a sleeping toy poodle.
Stomping on kittens by the BATF isn't in the manual, but it is fun to get some blood on their jackboots.
Same goes for “cops” in ski masks,
or covering their badge numbers with tape,
or ordering someone to stop filming,
or taking any action that conceals what they are doing.
If what you’re doing is within the law,
there should be no reason to do any of these things.
