Yeah...as they say to us so often, "if you're not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?"
Just because they are instructed to doesn't mean there aren't bad apples, or those who are ignorant of specific laws of carry, or those who make mistakes; all of which I do think we've seen on video at one point or another. I was not making a mutally exlcusive point, just saying that it really is the assumption that if you are in uniform or in public that your actions are likely to be recorded in one way or another.But if that was the case then there would not be these countless YouTube videos of officers acting inappropriately on a consistent basis.
Officers that are going to ba a bag will be one, regardless if a camera is on them or not. It's just the human nature of some of them.
If you're talking about BART PD Officer Johannes Mehserle shooting Ocscar Grant, then you may be interested to know that the video confirmed the story, and showed him sweeping the safety thinking he was holding the taser, which his Glock did not have; and that made it so he didn't recieve a murder charge but rather an involuntary manslaughter charge instead; and it raised all sorts of awareness about officers not being consistently provided with tasers and the rearrangement of their duty belts when they were equipped with tasers and several gaps in the PDs policies and procedures. All BART officers are now issued tasers instead of having to check them out from the pool as a result of lessons learned from this incident. BART to Issue TASERs to Every Officer - News - POLICE MagazineLook at the recent BART case. I'm glad people filmed that. Te cops argument was he thought he was holding his tazer! He shot a man in handcuffs and lieing under the officer on the ground iirc. Reports say the handcuffed man had a knife that wasn't caught on film, bu through it away when asked.
Yeah, a few videos that back up the cops stories pretty much wraps up this discussion. It was all in our minds guys, cops are always right, no matter how it seems. Nothing to see here, thread done.Wow, amazing how the facts and video come out and the critics are silent. No smart remarks? Thanks canav844.
