I agree. Cops are good people but as the saying goes absolute power corrupts absolutely.Imagine if there was no camera to reveal the truth. That crooked cop would still have a job.

Here is a really good guy to listen to. He is talking about DUI's here but he often streams about videos with abusive copsI believe most cops are regular folks who just want to put food on the table for their families. But I also believe these jobs whether it's law enforcement, corporate management, or political office... they always seem to attract the power-hungry, the sociopaths, and the narcissists. And unfortunately many of the good cops look the other way when they see corruption because they know what happens when they report it. In their minds it's best to hush up and carry on.
That is really the scary thing to think about... how many innocent people are in jail right now? How many that maybe broke a law but it became far worse when the cop later lied, like here. How many innocent people have been shot or killed. If we are seeing this many now, with cameras everywhere then I can only imagine that the numbers in the past and today have to be staggering.Imagine if there was no camera to reveal the truth.

I'm sure some 'Blue Live Matter but Don't Tread on Me' conservative will come along to defend that pig.

I disliked cameras as well... then I moved here and there are many up, especially in central business districts... but parking lots, malls, crosswalks, schools, they are all over and I live in a small place. Then there are the thousands of people ready at a moments notice to start filming.As a libertarian, I used to hate the idea of cameras everywhere. However, with incidents like the this, I have started to think the more cameras the better.
I dont want cameras everywhere but all police interactions should be filmed. If for some reason the cops "lose" a video then the case should be dismissed.As a libertarian, I used to hate the idea of cameras everywhere.

I have had that happen to me. I was honest and tried to explain things to the cops. I learned my lesson. Never talking to them again about pretty much anything. They twisted shit badly. Luckily it was not a huge thing, at the end of the day.Law enforcement has license to lie. Now you can go to jail for lying to them.
