I wonder if the body cameras would store the video on the officers person or transmit wirelessly to the car or other storage? I’d think in some cases a criminal might be more inclined to attack/kill the officer if they thought they could retrieve some damning video evidence from the officers camera.
An early news story after the shooting stated that Ferguson PD had ordered and received cameras but had not gotten around to issuing them prior to the shooting. Haven’t seen that info since then in any stories.
Precisely.
In the world we live in today, anytime a white person kills a black person, no matter the reason, it is automatically regarded as an act of racism and premeditated murder.
I tend to think that even if that had been seen on the tape, it would not have mattered to the rioters.
I don’t disagree.
A white officer shot and killed a black person.
That is the ONLY fact that matters to them.
Had Officer Wilson been black, there would be no major story.
The Secret Service should wear body cameras, don’t you think?
It will show all the Crazy people that the Police have to deal with every day . Police giving Warnings for speeding etc will come to an end .
Unless of course they could call the black officer a white black.
The false narratives are being manufactured in order to facilitate King Obama stepping in and taking over.
Michael Reichstag.
There is going to be more of this in the next two years.
The atmosphere right now is sooooooooooooo poisonous. There is no reason or sanity in many of these communities.
What will eventually happen...unfortunately....the rules for engagement for our police departments will become so onerous, our police officers will become pinned down, much like our troops are in battle. It will take an act of Congress or a court order before a police officer working in the field will be permitted to draw or discharge a firearm. This is where we are heading. Fewer people will want to serve in law enforcement. I see chaos, anarchy, and lawlessness as result....which is of course what they want...Planet of the apes.
Cameras will reduce the numbers of spurious complaints of police brutality, and specious lawsuits of same.
I want body cameras on our politicians.. I want to see who their selling us out to - and for how much.
Knowing this administration, they’ll make the cops have the perps sign a permission form before being allowed to film them.
You’re right. If Wilson had a body camera on him none of the Furguson stuff would have happened.
Think how our ‘civil rights’ liars would have reacted to the store clerk saying Brown had bullied him - IF their wasn’t a video showing the truth...
Body cameras will help the police - and open the eyes of people about the reality of the ‘black community’.
Based on the law of unexpected consequences I would expect it will be more, not fewer of o’s and h’s children behind bars.
Unintended consequence: where cops wear body cameras, complaints decrease substantially - because it proves that most of the time the cop is in the right.
Google Glass?
That would be the obvious choice.
And directing lots of dough to a regime affiliate, which is always the goal.
That's right. Once they throw the first accusation out there it becomes a perpetual tool for the likes of Chris Mathews, Matt Lauer, Stephanopolus and the rest. A permanent part of any question they ask would be, "Many say the video is altered...", or "The allegedly altered video...", ...or "The video that was never proven to be unaltered...".
