Camera or not? I wish the one time I was jumped by an undercover punk they had a camera. Just so happened the club's video was not working at the time and my 10 witnesses cleared the confusion.

Interesting that the very people that wanted body cams to CONTROL the police are now whining and bitching that those same cameras are collecting data on misbehaving perps. KARMA is a bitch.

Don't be mislead by biased interpretations. Read the Report for yourself. You might find points of agreement.

Each year, more and more police departments across the United States send their officers into the field wearing body-worn cameras.1 Many believed that by providing first-hand evidence of interactions between officers and the public, these cameras could enhance transparency, improve accountability, and foster greater public trust in local law enforcement. Yet, the promise of these cameras is not guaranteed; in fact, in many jurisdictions, it is...

Oh the irony in all this. They yelled and screamed for accountability. Then they were on board with cameras. Now, they say it's a threat to civil rights. What a bunch of hypocrites.

They are typical Liberals they want their cake and want to eat it and not gain weight and not have to pay for it. I have read on police forums that they are trying to make it that only certain encounters get filmed They love it if it gets them off but hate it when it clearly shows them in the wrong. BLM agenda has take a HUGE hit due to cams because its is showing that the police were right in shooting the criminals....they were not some poor little victims that a police officer just had to get his gun off on. The deserved what they got....cams are now a fact of life in Law enforcement the criminals will just ave to get use to their jail cells or coffins

What is interesting about your comment, is that you state your willingness to visit and listen to the opinions of Government Employees (police), but do not seem to objectively evaluate the claims from the other side; absent of racial agendas.
There are "White Lives" affected by the same issue of police overreach, its just for some reason "White Lives" don't seem to care enough to file grievances with the government to address the issue. The typical response to my last sentence is, "well, we know that White criminals get what they deserve, and we don't try to protect them;" of which I say, "So because you are willing to accept mistreatment by government entities, everyone else must as well?"
Please read the report referenced by the article, I've added it here for your convenience:

SFC (Join to see) - police were first against cameras in cars but if an officer was doing there job correctly it proved they were correct. BLM started when the Media ran a false story that characterized a criminal as a victim in a police shooting. when all the evidence was put together they found that the police office, Daren Wilson, was correct and justified in shooting a criminal, Micheal Brown, that did not stop monument being placed in Ferguson, To top that off our former president and his henchmen jumped the gun and tried to convict the officer in the media...If I had been the officer I would have sued the DOJ, Eric Holder and the President,
The destruction of Millions of Dollars of Property and untold lives ruined because the The Media and President rushed to judgment and did not wait for evidence. They paint while police officers as the criminals....having been in LE and the Military for more than 30 years I know there are good and bad officer....race has nothing to do with it but to accuse Officer of wanting to go out and shoot people of any color irresponsible and a down right lie.
The demands of wearing a camera when out and officers now wear them those groups can't not claim "Foul" now that they got there wish but it does not prove their agenda

SSG (Join to see) - criminals are not always innocent and the crooked cop who frames or kills innocent people does happen but it is not a epidemic like the media portrays. Just watch cops or other law enforcement documentaries like Border Wars or a Columbian customs show at Bogata Airport and you see how often smugglers lie. I know we don't have any statistics but I am sure that 99%+ of Military, State, Federal and Local Law Enforcement are law-abiding and not rascist.

My brother has been a restaurant manager for about 10 years now, and on a bi-monthly basis the owners are pulling video for some reason or another, I try to keep it vague on the details but insurance fraud and theft are terms that keep popping up. And just based on that right there I know 3 kids who did not get charges filed on them because video evidence exonerated them.
And this is not a white/black thing but people as a whole are kinda scummy, hell a few years ago they had a pregnant women who dumped out her drink and looked down at the icey soda, glanced around to look for a camera (they make them things tiny nowadays, just assume there is one on you at all times, pro tip: if the store has 5 smoke detectors on the floor...well I'll let you fill it in on your own) and then she braced herself, took a step and fell on her ass, and you know what? Her, her husband and her two kids were already telling the story about how it just happened and they did not see the mess there and how the staff was rude and racist and all them other buzz words. But you know what, the insurance company came out, requested the video and boom there ya have it. And this is not abnormal this is just people being people.
So yeah...I might have some opinions on those cameras but they are very good at one thing, and that is keeping the innocent person innocent.
