Pure crap. How will this help enforcement? Will it be able to fully place what is happening in context or what is happening off camera? How will it affect those being recorded? Will it lead to more lawsuits, frivolous and otherwise?
The objective of these protests is to de-legitimize local
police forces by characterizing them as racist, incompetent and murderous.
The next step is a “national” police/security force.
IMHO
What the Obama administration wants is to make our police forces as Black as the NBA. They want to centralize control of all police around the country, under a single federal union, similar to what they did with the hospitals, but with more central control of hiring and promotions.
This has been a goal for years, but the left lost their biggest proponent of the police union when Anthony Weiner was defeated. If you recal, Weiner had a big fight, right on the House floor, with King, the Republican from New York. It was a real screaming match.
no camera can ever function to depict reality
the camera will likely just introduce more controversy over what is actually being shown
Changes nothing. This is the sequel to Rodney King.
Once law enforcement (the rule of law being respected) is null and void which the likes of Holder, Obama, are doing a role in crumpling that every day and the Sharptons alike; who use these incidences for profit; the country will truly be gone. Law enforcement is the only barrier to keeping any society maintained and safe. Remember, before opening mouth, those who trash all police officers, you are helping to make a narrative that ALL cops are bad..as... why do we need cops anyway, they carry guns.
The blacks involved in the riots do not certainly want to respect authority. Many who are protesting are anti Second Amendment, so they see a cause that they can pounce on. Be wise out there and know what you say will come back in a possible way you will not like on this situation. These protesters are truly ignorant if they deny accepting reality that this officer had the right to defend himself or they don’t care in the first place which goes back into an agenda.
Holder and Obama are anti police. So, in the beginning it was all about manipulating and removing power from the local police. Why, so the feds can control the authority over the people. You have a mindset of those who want more government control (Obama supporters and his party’s agenda) and those who want limited government control.
The police know what they’re up against and it puts them in more danger than ever on all fronts, support your local law enforcement men and women because we can see by whats going on in ferguson that they are our front line if this ever comes to your town
Hyperbolic, for sure. We have our share of cop haters even here on FR, but it is a bit much to say that everyone hates Darren Wilson, or any other policeman.
But I agree with his basic premise.
His life, as he knew it, is over.
Because he was a cop and he defended himself.
NOPE.
It is because PC lies were mouthed and saluted for 2 generations by many otherwise God fearing Americans.
The Brown case moved back 50 years but with all the same evidence video and otherwise could not POSSIBLY have happened as it has today. St. Skittles as well.
I agree that body cams will help some of the problem faced by good cops wrongfully accused of crimes against citizens. It may help get rid of truly bad cops.
Stupid people blame police officers for obeying laws citizens don’t like. Like forfeiture laws are being abused and end up stealing from innocent citizens to fund police activities. These citizens then stupidly blame police officers for stealing from them rather than changing the laws that are flawed and being exploited by crooked politicans.
I knew the left would end up exploiting the public’s knowledge of the few incidents of bad cops against all cops. It’s what they do. They are lawless. That is why I said the unity of cops has to break when there is truly a bad one among them or truly unprofessional or extreme practices are being adopted by the profession. They need to weed out the bad and stupid and give the left no ground to stand on for their hate and lies.
I hope the left gets unseated quickly - before they end up killing a bunch of innocent police officers and citizens with total fabrications of race hate like the Brown and Martin cases.
Cameras are getting better and cheaper all the time. There’s no excuse for police not to have them. Like it or not, it’s an idea whose time has come.
Michael Brown is dead because of his own actions. I haven’t once seen anyone ask Michael Brown’s parents about his record or why they thought he robbed the store and shoved around the proprietor. Race was a contributor but not in the way everyone thinks. Obama spoke of mistrust of the police. It’s more than that- much more. Michael Brown didn’t respect a white cop. He didn’t think he had to obey the orders of a white cop. He thought he could attack a white cop without fear of repercussions. He was brought up that way. That’s why he’s dead.
