  1. If cops are allowed to work in the shadows then what is the purpose to have cops.
    If you cannot trust them, they should not be cops. That is it.

  2. It’s time we stand up to the pigs. They are just humans like us. That we the civilians gave the power to “protect” us!

  3. The CCP urgently halted the anti-sanctions law, only delaying time. Just like Hong Kong’s national security law, after the CCP’s control of the economy is restored, it will again propose the anti-sanctions law. For a CCP that has no good faith, what else will the West be deceived? It should be time to categorically withdraw from Hong Kong and decouple from the CCP. If you are still obsessed with the lies of the CCP, the international community will be deceived again.

  4. It would be nice if they used body cams in my city just maybe they're too corrupt for body cams 🤫🤭🤔🤣😂

  5. "Local police reviewed bodycam footage and determined there was no crime committed. As such the footage will not be made available to the public." Expect a lot of that going forward

  6. Honorable but not detailing personnel to a multi-agency task force does come at a cost. They'll be out that federal money which is typically spent in training and equipment for their own dep't.

  7. End qualified immunity or live as slaves and peasants. Body cameras should be mandatory at all times while on shifts. The cops have been policing themselves for too long and have proven that it doesn't work. Also the police unions must be done away with.

  8. They don't like being policed. This is the way to hide their crimes. We are are going back to the time cameras weren't on cops. And they policed themselves; which many broke the law.

  9. Because of the sensitive nature of the interactions that a Officer may have with someone, I don't like the idea of general public having access to all body camera footage. There's does need to be open transparency, so my balance would be that if a licensed attorney request access to body cam footage to review an interaction, and the agency doesn't provide that footage, then I think the department should face a fine and the Officer have to explain the reason for the absence of the footage.
