why havent body cameras reduced police violence

We’ve “moved on” because you changed the subject. In fact, it’s not clear you’re even in the right thread or responding to the correct post.

Then, you fuckin’ commie Canuck fucks have never been very clear.
Get you hate under control Christian.
 
Because in reality reduction is not necessary but rather a media inspired suggestion
 

its mostly the criminals not complying. and most of the time its criminals fault. when people learn to comply cops or how about not do a crime a all then maybe you wont get killed by one. Nichols case was isolated black on black thing. was not really A cop thing at all. you hire black thug fellon's from the street and don't train them, that is what you get. and you notice no other races are coming forward saying these black cops did anything to them. because a black whoop ass thing period.
Because the problem is black criminals who do not respect the police. Until they quit being criminals or disrespecting the police or both, the "problem" isn't going to go away, which is why it hasn't.
 
The answer isn’t what you think it is. The answer to your question is accountability. Most of the time, a vast majority, nothing happens to the cop who misbehaves. Let’s take a real world example. One of the favorites of a Cop who supposedly got screwed Chauvin.


Chauvin had a history of doing the very thing that led to the death of Floyd. A history his superiors had more than ample evidence of. But nobody took it serious. It was a violation of policy. They had witness statements, and even video, and again, nothing happened to the bad cop.

In the book Starship Troopers, the scenario of Juvenile Crime is discussed. Where kids who misbehave and commit crimes are forgiven because they are just kids, and then when they continue the misbehavior past the age of 18, are locked up for life or sentenced to death for essentially the same crimes they had been committing all their lives. This is insane according to the characters.

That same insane scenario was played out in the case of Chauvin. They had many examples of his misbehavior for years. For years they did nothing to change his behavior. For years, they may slap his wrist, while patting him on the back for being a “good cop”.

Then that fateful day, and now the same thing he has done more than a dozen times, and gotten away with, sees him locked up for the rest of his life. It was that insane scenario.

Accountability. They never held him accountable for his misbehavior. They never seriously made any effort to change his behavior, to show they were serious when he did it time and time again.

The same is true of your cops who aren’t doing anything wrong. They are doing exactly what they have done many times. And then suddenly something comes to light, and the public gets involved, and the cop is thrown to the wolves. You argue it is unfair, and you are right, but not in the way you think you are.

It is unfair, and it would probably never happen if the cop in question was disciplined when the behavior first began. If you assume he is a good guy, then a minor corrective action early would help avoid the horrible situation which ends up with the cop headed to jail. If the minor corrective action doesn’t work, then a more serious corrective action is tried. If the behavior persists, then getting rid of the cop is the answer.

Just as you would do for any employee, should you be the supervisor, or owner.

If you had a fleet of delivery trucks. You have them tracked and recorded. One driver consistently speeds and runs recklessly. But he delivers on time, and never calls with excuses about how he couldn’t make it because of traffic or whatever. You know he is driving in a dangerous manner, but he’s a good driver, and calls to complain about him are filed and ignored. At most the boss says hey, just be careful.

Than the nightmare. The driver slams into a van load of Nun’s and Orphans. His luck ran out. Suddenly you are facing a lawsuit that will see your company destroyed. Your lack of action is viewed as irresponsible. You knew he was a dangerous driver, and you left him on the road in your trucks driving for your company. You knew what could happen, and didn’t do anything to prevent it.

The same is true of nearly every single case where a cop is thrown to the wolves. They have a history of misbehavior, and they got away with it. The most they faced was a minor slap on the wrist with no real effort to curb the behavior.


The man was a Sergeant. There is no way it was the first time he had done something like that. There is simply no way. But he always got away with it. He was probably told he was a great cop, doing a good job. He is going to be tried, and convicted, and will never understand it was a failure of the department to hold him accountable for his earlier actions, that are going to see him in prison. He was a supervisor, and I bet he never held his subordinates accountable for similar misbehavior either.
he did not have fair trial. we have very fear trials these days because blacks threaten to teare down cities. it sucks.
