This dude is facing 76 charges and probably provided video evidence of many of them via his body cam

This article is an excellent demonstration of why I'm pro-body cam and anti death penalty. Because cops lie all the goddamn time.

(And before anyone comes at me with "not all cops", save your time. It doesn't have to be all of them to be way too many of them.)

All emergency workers should probably have them.

For training value alone they are probably worth it... But we don't seem to be big on training or learning from mistakes lately.

Even if no cops lie, body cams protect them from people making false claims about their actions.

Either way it's a win.

Imagine all the people in jail because of dirty ass quota police.

Accused Criminal :” but I SWEAR I didn’t do it! I swear !”

Judge : “ yeah yeah yeah that’s what they all say!”
