    I thought this is what body cams were for, or was it just for watching with your buddies during weekends while eating popcorn

      That’s what the police think surveillance video is for, at least. When they’re done assaulting innocent old women with dementia they sit around with their buddies, watch the video and laugh and laugh. I assumed that when the officer said “wait for the pop” he was talking about the audible sound of him breaking this 73 year old dementia patient’s arm over $13 in goods from Walmart, but the way they’re gathered around the screen celebrating the assault, maybe he did mean popcorn.

      body cams are for police highlight reels and for taking clips of their murders home to masturbate furiously too. Not for the public good, or justice.

      Which is why it often takes years to weasel the fucking video out of their hands when it shows them doing wrong (and yet the videos are almost always immediately released when they think they are in the right…), like with that abduction victim teenage girl a few years ago who the police blasted the fuck out, from behind, despite her following all instructions.
