Leftists Demanded Police Body Cams. Now They Regret It.

It was BLM that led the charge for mandatory body cams just a few years ago……

They’re not claiming that the police are making up charges or anything like that. They can’t make that claim, because it’s all on camera. Instead, they’re simply concerned with outcomes. They don’t want black people to go to prison, even when they commit crimes. And so now — rather than address the obvious and persistent problems in black neighborhoods and black families — they want to get rid of the cameras. It’s the same reason you’ll find a bunch of hot takes about why Ring doorbell cameras are dystopian. Criminals don’t like it when you expose what they’re doing.

 

in all seriousness.   They won’t “exist” in a meaningful way until  2027/2028 when the next election heats up.   Notice how the free free Palestine protests have cooled tf down too

Maybe it is behind a pay wall.   Here is ai summary 

The Daily Wire article titled "Leftists Demanded Police Body Cams. Now They Regret It." by Matt Walsh critiques the initial advocacy for police body cameras by left-leaning activists, particularly the Black Lives Matter movement. The piece argues that while body cams were promoted as tools for transparency and accountability, the footage has often contradicted narratives of systemic police brutality.The People's Voice+1HappyScribe+1

A central example in the article is the case of Deshawn Leeth, a community engagement officer in Washtenaw County, Michigan. Leeth, who had a criminal history, was involved in an incident where initial reports portrayed him as a victim of police violence. However, body camera footage later revealed that he had attempted to steal a police vehicle, challenging the initial narrative.

The article suggests that such instances have led to a reevaluation among some activists regarding the efficacy of body cams, as the footage does not always align with their expectations. It posits that body cameras have, in some cases, highlighted the complexities of police encounters rather than unequivocally supporting claims of misconduct.

Reintroduced wolves should be required to wear body cams.  Had a wolf chasing down a coyote in our back yard today.  We need documented proof of this wolf brutality.

What “reevaluation”?  The article sounds like mostly race-baiting speculation, no wonder the Daily Wire is reportedly in danger of going bankrupt

All mainstream modern journalism is in trouble.  It isn’t journalism any more.  It’s opinionated political fluff fluff.  On both sides of the aisle.

Thought it needed its own topic.  I love that bill burr interview… it’s not political at all.

Thanks for the links.  Some more paywalls, but as far as I can tell, the first, an opinion piece from whatever “isthmus.com” is, seems to be the only one actually suggesting to get rid of them.  The rest look to mostly just be saying we need to make sure cops actually turn them on, and that they shouldn’t be used to record expressions of the first amendment where there is no criminal suspicion
