Jesus Christ. What an idiot. Good to see there are some decent cops out there too though, have seen plenty condemn Floyds killers.

Crazy...unarmed black man shot dead after police fire into a crowd. All of their body cameras were turned off.

That’s a very good post (I think one is most likely scenario)
I'm surprised it has taken this long
I’m baffled by the sheer volume of police/NH etc. Was watching an Atlanta stream last night (until the streamer got arrested) and they had literally thousands deployed there. Like.. how does that country even work economically? When half of your citizens it seems are employed as police?
Maybe a mass strike would do the trick since I can’t see how any sorts of supply chains hold up over there under the slightest bit of strain.

I think it should be mandatory sacking if their body cameras are turned up. Have them running at all times while they are on duty.
Not really needed. Everyone is talking about the protesters spreading covid but forgets that pretty much all police are being deployed in alternating 12h shifts at the moment. And they're exactly the type that won't wear a mask because it makes them look weak, spend long times up close to each other and go to work despite an oncoming bit of a cold (They're informed by FOX etc. too).
I watched that hoping that it might make Fox news and their viewers think for a moment about what it’s like to be black in an interaction with the American police. Which would be good. Then I read the comments below the tweet. Never read the comments below the tweet.
Floyd Mayweather has donated an $88,500 cheque to the family of George Floyd to cover funeral expenses.

I really wish Trump wasn't so genuinely funny.The WH released an official video of his nice stroll to church yesterday. It looks like he had a lovely time with his mates on the quiet streets of DC.
Not going to lie I was staring at his lips the whole times, can't stop laughing at how he looked.
Of course conveniently skipped over the BLM sprayed wall
Because it's can't relate to that being accepted as okay
That's so f*cked, I don't even know what to say.
Another clip that deserves the “Curb” music
This stuff should get more media attention and is what's needed to help de-escalate the situation and shut Trump down. Not all cops are racist nor are they bad people. This needs to be seen as how to police and be in touch with your communities.
I understand why you say this but I can't agree for obvious reasons. There needs to be a facility to turn the camera off when you are going to the toilet or having refreshments etc.
In the UK they can be tuned on and off however if someone uses taser they automatically turn on including those within a certain radius. I'm sure something could be done in the US with regards to drawing your gun.
call in the national guard and they kill an unarmed black business owner. Does it get any worse? Trump must be done
It should still be a stackable offence for not turning them back on after going to the toilet or having a refreshment.
If I 'forgot' to do certain aspects of my job I'd 100% be in line for a sacking.
Could spot that a mile off
I wonder if we'll see a change in culture from some people. The police can't be trusted and are essentially a boys club for violent assholes.
Kanye West has offered to cover Derek Chauvin’s legal fees.
Because they are whiteWhy were they just let go?
You're entitled to your opinion.
I'm very pro bodycam and have seen the benefits to both the public and the police in using them.
I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest
I don't understand the rationale for it not being a stackable offence if they have them turned off whilst on duty.
Toilet breaks and refreshments sure, but what reason beyond that should they be allowed to have them off?
Its akin to drug tests in football. You miss the test, you get punished as though it were positive.
If a bodycam is turned off, there should be some assumption of guilt. Or at least the removal of any "benefit of the doubt".

I agree with that.
You can't be sacking lads for forgetting to turn it on after coming back from the jacks but if a fella gets shot in the meantime, the fact it was off should be admissible as evidence against the shooter.
Sackable offence? Well in the UK you can't just sack an officer, nor can you make them redundant. You could make it a disciplinary offence if you wished but you'd not be able to take peoples jobs from them off the back of that. Obviously things work differently in the US.
Anyway as said I'm pro bodycam and the technology is available to have them self activate in certain situations as used in the UK. See no reason why this can't be done elsewhere.
Yeah I'd agree with this. Use the omission to activate it to allow a court to draw an inference.
I mentioned earlier though that here in the UK (at least with taser) bodycam activates itself if used. It also activates everyone else's near by.
This isn't really a limitation of technology but willingness on part of the US police departments to open themselves up for accountability.
That would be the most sensible solution. A chip in the bottom of the holster that activates the cam as soon as a tazer, gun, baton etc is drawn.
