Fuck you dude, I forgot about those commercials.

Please do source that if you can, I'll do some research as well. Not saying I dispute your claim, that's just crazy to me and I'd find it fascinating if it turns out to be accurate.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to do this AMA. It's great to see a police officer being so open and transparent.

My issue isn't so much with SROs specifically as the current climate for police officers in general. Given how much additional scrutiny is being placed on police right now, do you feel that situations like the one you referenced in this AMA are more or less likely to occur?

As a follow-up, how do you feel about body cams for police?

As far as the funding issue goes, I know that's probably the biggest issue right now, but also the one I think matters the least. I feel like with as good of an idea as body cams obviously are, it should be up to the politicians to figure out how to get the money for them - but it should absolutely be done.

The privacy issue for the cops (i.e. the camera being on when you're taking a piss) is another good one, but I feel like police offiicers, or civil servants in general, have to give up some of those privacy rights when they're on the job anyway.
