using this event to argue against body cameras doesn't sit right. besides, the huge cost of resources of massive amounts of training, how would a demilitarization happen when a large number of Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere veterans are cops and the judicial system is skewed to give cops the benefit of the doubt.
and yes, i'm certain i can find some study that points to body cameras contributing to stopping cops acting out.
there is no panacea,
and that's why people here argue that perps need to do what the fucking cops tell them to do and not put themselves in danger of pissing off a fuckwad with a badge and a gun with 2 tours of duty in a shithole 10000 miles away where he lived and killed in a hot zone, back here with the same weapon and a legal system that has his back.
