When bodycams were demanded, the stated goal was to show how racist cops were. And how they murdered blacks.
What it actually showed is that most shootings and use of force is extremely warranted.
But it has also showed the world what the criminal element, and particularly the 13% are actually like.
In this case a 23-year old son beats his father's girlfriend to a pulp, knocking out most her teeth. Then he sets her on fire. She lives, for a while, and is able to tell who did it to her. After a period in hospital she dies due to her injuries.
The absolute stupidity. Lack of cause-effect thinking. Inability to see farther into the future than the immediate now. Its all on display in this short 15 minute video.
What it actually showed is that most shootings and use of force is extremely warranted.
Unless its a female cop, then it continually shows how not only useless they are, but how they immediately default to force the moment anything happens and make any situation worse by even arriving.
The inclusion of the jail phone call to his mom is 👌
Perfectly captures the low IQ delusion and entitlement. He thinks he's gonna be out of jail that day and conquer the world with "internet followers" or whatever fonebrain horse shit. Literally incapable of comprehending cause and effect.
I recall one city (Atlanta maybe?) who was one of the first to have mandatory, force-wide body cams on all the time. Accusations of police brutality dropped to 1/8th in short order.
Criminal: The cop was mean to me for no reason!
Cam Footage: Nope.
End of complaint. 🤭
iirc? At first the cops didn't like it, but that changed in a hurry. I honestly don't know why ANY city doesn't have cop-cam these days. It's cheap & reliable. MY idiot city has debated it for at least 6 years now...
If management wants to fire a cop for political reasons, they pull the body cam footage and go through it with a fine-toothed comb looking for pretexts to write up and suspend the cop.
For example, the part of Australia I live in has a massive issue with a certain demographic of Australians who are vastly more violent and criminal than the rest of the population. They have been given their own government funded legal service with lawyers available on demand.
In a typical arrest, a drunk, brain damaged ("organic brain injury" from drinking) cretin will be bashing a woman with a bottle or something.
The cop will arrive and the perpetrator will immediately get violent and fantastically raciest and abusive.
If the cop shouts or swears while he is being insulted and then attacked, that is grounds for investigation and suspension.
What you say? Body Cam footage should only be accessed during an investigation? This certain demographic has worked out that they can put in formal complaints on every occasion.
I have personally witnessed one of these 'people' resist arrest, attack the police officer, get tackled (I helped hold them) then put in cuffs and taken away.
The cop in question thanked me for my help and told me that he would not even press charges because it wasn't worth the paperwork. We did everything by the textbook, but he was not supported by management.
The issues with body cams is exactly the same issue with all kinds of pervasive surveillance. It is easy to abuse by first picking a target then finding some pretext supported by the evidence available. Even if it isn't enough, the process is the punishment.
Yeah, but in your example would a cop be less at the mercy of bullshit without the body cam? I'm pretty sure the only difference would be that the management bends over backwards to say "well, we can't prove he was rude to the abo, but we love those guys and we take diversity very, very seriously, and there were a bunch of other (equally frivolous) complaints made against him, soooo...."
What is better is if in a hostile environment like that cops own their own bodycams.
Footage can be produced to defend the cop, but not to support frivolous complaints.
Where the department owns the camera and the footage, the purpose of the camera is a gotcha to prosecute bad cops.
When the cop owns the footage, the purpose is to supply exculpatory evidence rather than manufacture a pretext to persecute.
it is exactly the same in city buses, for truck drivers etc. Driver facing cameras are specifically for shifting the blame to the driver so the insurance can then make it their fault and recover money. There is no other reason to have a driver facing camera.

What it actually showed is that most shootings and use of force is extremely warranted.
Having saw this in real time during my own time as a far leftist (2012-2015ish, tapering off in 2016, around the same time this would have taken place), it was mindboggling how quickly they flipped the script once more police departments equipped themselves with body cams.
But it has also showed the world what the criminal element, and particularly the 13% are actually like.
This is a just bonus. I argue the 2020 race riots (alongside a few other notable brutal events before and since) played a bigger part in revealing just how bad black crime is.
At least this one was smart enough to cooperate with the police, rather than fight back, run, scream, or resist in any way, which would have likely gotten him killed. He even tried to feed them what sounded like a well-prepared lie about how he committed no wrongdoing. So he's sharper than the typical ghetto trash.
Then again, the fact he didn't try to spin it like they were arresting him, a poor innocent black angel, first thing for no reason when he needed help with his burning house and saving his dying (not) mother-in-law shows he's just as dumb but in a different way. That's a fail-safe way for any black to get off Scott free.
My theory is since he has several games in his room he's a gamer and so he is probably a bit more sharper and less likely to think about playing the victim when he knows he's not because that shit wouldnt fly if he tried that with gaming communities.
I was already shocked by the burning alive, was not ready to see her teeth all over the place because this pussy ass nog beat the shit out of an older lady with knuckles. Sometimes wish we had punishment fitting the crime.

Especially because they refused a male candidate the job to give it to some short lady without any experience.
So, a real cop could have attended; instead a worse than useless cop arrived.

Hey, worked for Karmelo Anthony. Why wouldn't this retard think it'd work for him too?

And added bonus selling point, its a source of infinite entertainment
Bro cop cams are some of the best entertainment. Like, if it doesn't involve these fucks chimping out, some arrests are funny as hell.
i.e. "Get on your belly Mr. Pancake!"
My favorite is the weeb attacking the cops with his mall katana.
I'll tell you why cops hate body cams.

It didn't get like this overnight. Cops have seen the reality of black America since the 70s.
No one who swore to protect the country cared, because they were always after those sweet sweet votes, and pretending they were doing a good job.
Oh god so they do hear the beep.
That's how you know he was lying!

I don't think he's any smarter than a rock.
The moment all the cops hit X to doubt.
Fucked up. What else can I say that wouldn't be some illegal racist outburst? Soot caught in spider webs makes them look so very spooky.
I was already shocked by the burning alive, was not ready to see her teeth all over the place because this pussy ass nog beat the shit out of an older lady with knuckles. Sometimes wish we had punishment fitting the crime.
Wonder how he was planning to explain that part if she did die in her room. "I tried to put her out by hitting her with the extinguisher"
Having fuel in waterbottles is a sign of premeditated thinking and planning, but his impulse control failed him anyways.
