I get your point about planting evidence and outright lying to either cover something up or strengthen their case. I'm in complete agreement with it. From the onset of the discussion I've said the body cams would be of bigger benefit to the police than it would uncover some massive conspiracy to target blacks.
I posed this question previously. What is the end state of the BLM? More to the point, what is the objective? It will never be 100% full proof, but what I'm asking is for specific changes they want to see made that would make them content? It's always very nebulous when I hear the discussion.
Wasn't there a case recently of a cops body camera "coincidentally" turning off right before he did something?
I do think it's the beginning of a solution though. It will be beneficial to everybody. I also recognize that cops will get accused of things they didn't do also, so it will help them there.
As for BLM ... I'm with you. I haven't seen any real proposed solutions or anything from that group. However, is it their responsibility to come up with the solutions regarding corrupt and violent cops? Shouldn't that be on the police forces themselves to better self-regulate? They probably don't have a solution because there isn't really an easy one that's going to come to mind. Pretty much the same with gun control ... there isn't really a good solution.
There have been a few instances of cops starting sports leagues or coaching teams for the kids in the neighborhoods in which they patrol. As far as I can tell, these efforts have been pretty successful.
It comes down to everybody seeing people as human. Not black, not a uniform, as human. How do we penetrate the us vs. them attitudes that we have now? These are the kinds of cultural changes that take a generation. I will admit that the BLM movement seems to have done nothing but exacerbate the us vs. them attitude ... hopefully somebody important enough to that group will recognize that.
