    You use “being on camera” to imply that since they’re on camera, they’ll face consequences for whatever they might do.

    With law enforcement, that isn’t nearly as probable as you think. I hope you have those feeds recording to a server that isn’t located on the same premises, at the very least. Even if you have the material though, it usually doesn’t mean a thing. Cops can justify pretty much anything in the US, and the justice system tends to go their way. Sure, you can show a few examples of cops actually sentenced, but for each one, there’s at least a dozen cases of officers who got off scot-free or with a warning, and a hundred more who weren’t even investigated.

    And as to your pitiful attempts at insults with your assumption that your English is better than mine? I’ve more than likely used English longer than you. More than you. In addition, I speak another language on a native level and several others on a customer service level. How many do you speak?

        Ah, so… what exactly is the reason that you think having video of cops makes you safe?

        You’re trying to avoid seeming foolish. Like when you tried to correct my English.

        So… how many languages do you speak?

          I never said it made me safe, I just said I have a lot of cameras. You took my comment, added your own thoughts to it, and then attacked me to make yourself feel something inside.

          If it wasn’t misinterpreted, then you’re just fabricating information because you desire an argument.

          Kinda sad really.

            You started this with “thats why it’s important to have a lot of cameras”, to which someone responded “so the cops can shut them off, like they did Afroman’s?”, to which you responded “cops wouldn’t…”

            Then I entered the conversation, because you’ve asserted what cops would and wouldn’t do, showing just how much faith — wrongly, though — you have in the justice system.

            You’re just really hard trying to ad hoc what you said, but unlike in real life, what has been said is actually on record, so bullshitting your way out of this doesn’t work as easily as with your mates in the pub.

            Weird how you yourself commented on the “language barrier” and what you thought was an incorrect use of the English language, yet now have completely shut up about it, almost as if you’re avoiding comparing your language skills to mine. Perhaps because you don’t like feeling stupid?

                It really is weird that you have this pathological avoidance yet obsess over replying here.

                We both know you read it. We both know which of us has more language skills, and we both know what you meant at the start of the thread.

                    Yes, that’s why you can’t respond with more than two words, but still have to reply, despite having to also avoid the topics of our language skills and what your comment at the start of this thread meant.
