While the article points out many discrepancy's with how the case was prosecuted and the "victims" were acquired I can not express a guilt or innocence decree. I Was not there I do not know all the facts from the case.

I would say Body cam's on every Officer and Dash cam's running all the time would end 100% of these issues. If I was an Officer I would buy my own if I had to and have it running at every stop to protect myself. People will turn on you faster than a rattlesnake can strike. Watch your 6 at all times.

Way too many victims who are completely unrelated to each other telling too consistent of stories. Are ALL of them lying? It's a preposterous. Dude is guilty and those who are defending him are delusional at best.

Re-Print:
I was not focusing so much on whether he is one way or the other, so much as to how do you protect yourself from false accusations.
Or even how do you catch the guilty quicker.
Law Enforcement is a tough gig.
Speak too loudly as Law Enforcement and everyone wets themselves and starts crying. Yet don't act forceful enough and the real hardened criminals kill you in a blink of an eye.
Then to boot the harden criminals afterwards start acting as the pant wetters and crying bunch blending right in.
That is why I'm leaning more and more for the Law Enforcement to have recording devices.

Oh I'm definitely in agreement there, there should be body cameras on the police themselves and cameras in the cars that record both the outside and the inside of the cars.

Of course it appears not all police agree:

They need to show more evidence, that proves beyond a doubt the officer is innocent.

Our judicial system does not ask that the accused prove beyond a doubt that they are innocent... the defense must only show doubt of guilt. it's the prosecutors responsibility to prove guilt beyond any doubt. By your comment it sounds like you feel a "guilty till proven innocent" system will be more effective.

SSgt Joseph Marquis - no, the other way around. Innocent until proven guilty.

Oh ok, I see now.... I sort of over looked the comma... and it sounded the other way? When you said "they" I felt it was directed at the defense.
