Kinsey said when he asked the officer why he fired his weapon, the cop responded, “I don’t know.” It seriously reads like something off of The Onion. Life is way stranger than fiction.

So this is a clear example of why police need to have bodycams always on, always rolling to some cloud, that must be released in full upon request. The police should be serving and protecting us, and while mistakes do happen it should be clear to see what happened & why and determine if punishments need to be made. Proper training and vetting of officers would also help with these situations to be honest.
I absolutely agree! The entire situation's a bit insane overall—and bodycams definitely help everyone at the end of the day. If police do nothing wrong, they're proven innocent; if they do,...

There's a certain demographic of people who think that cops should be harsher than they already are, and they tend to fight against budget increases for training+equipment.

I don't think harsh is the right way to go about things. I love (good) cops and what they do. They run into situations that everyone else runs away from. That alone should result in respect for them. I also understand how incidental situations where shots are fired happens because cops legitimately fear for their lives and its better that they shoot a criminal than be shot themselves. So clear communication of intention to police is always the best so they don't fear for their lives. However, it's situations where there seems to be a clear communication of intention to not hurt the cops that still results in shots fired that baffles me.
I don’t think body cams are the answer. Look at this situation, for example: we have video, they know who the officer is, but they still won’t even release his name, let alone fire him. The...
I don’t think body cams are the answer. Look at this situation, for example: we have video, they know who the officer is, but they still won’t even release his name, let alone fire him. The problem is the lack of accountability. The system is designed to protect the “bad apples” when it should be removing them from duty.
I'm not sure why this is on ~news - it happened in July 2016.

I can move it if you want (to ~misc?), but it might be reasonable to just delete it too. Up to you.
That'd be great if it won't cause you a tonne of hassle.

I knew I recognized that story. This is two years old

There needs to be accountability along with the cameras. But that's an administrative problem not a tech problem
