I think body cams should always be a must

So do most officers, in my experience.

For every one case like this, there are 100 or 1000 where a body cam would prove no wrongdoing on an officers part, or disprove a bogus complaint filed by a pissed off person.

The department a couple buddies of mine work for just got them, and they're loving the mutual accountability. They say it's amazing how quickly people's stories or attitudes change once they find out they're being recorded.

That...surprises me.

I don't know why, but it does.

Excellent observation.

The problem is thus reduced to:

  1. Fight one giant pussy, or
  2. Fight 10 tiny brawlers.

I'll take the giant pussy, Bob.

That's an excellent point.

I'd think they should be just as accessible as a police report to all concerned parties.
