One bad apple on ANY police force is one bad apple too many.
COP CAMS would prevent many or ALL of these sorts of tragedies. (To be effective, these devices MUST be “ON” during the entire shift and any officer whose device fails to capture the event under investigation or attempts to defeat the device should be summarily dismissed.)
IF THE OFFICER IN THE MICHAEL BROWN SHOOTING HAD WORN A COP CAM, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, THIS INCIDENT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN SETTLED and Ferguson, MO wouldn’t be burning every night and Al Sharpton and the other racist agitators would have nothing to do.
And let’s all remember that even cops and elected officials have families, any one of which could become the victim of the senseless act of some rogue cop who’s having a bad day and wants to pass it on.
I wonder how or even if this video can be introduced into evidence.
“I wonder how or even if this video can be introduced into evidence.”
Probably not. But in the trial of public opinion that is going on it counts.
If a video expert can prove the tape has not been tampered with, it might be the single most important piece of corroborating evidence available.
You can be certain that no one in that community is going to tell the truth on the witness stand so the entire trial may hang on this one little snippet.
Yes.
Just to get it into evidence here at FR, here is the name of the person who uploaded the video in question to youtube: julius kwabena nkromah john
Here’s the name of another uploader of the video to youtube...BlackCanseco.
Shades of Lee Harvey Oswald's behavior after shooting Officer Tippit.
