      I once got downvoted to oblivion on Reddit for saying I’d rather some person have to see a cops dick out when they piss (through video) than see another case where a cop turns his bodycam off during an encounter.

      They should never be turned off and I agree it should be instant prison time no questions asked.

        Nothing should be instant prison time no questions asked. That’s not justice that’s vengeance.

                Do you want to improve things, or just get vengeance? Your mindset is the same mindset that got us in this situation, it’s the same mindset that has been used to allow things like that to happen.

                Even the very worst bad guys, even if they’re cops, deserve a fair trial, and a safe stay at a non-barbarous prison with a chance for rehabilitation.

          See the difference is we’re supposed to hold these people to higher standards. If they fuck up the punishment should be more extreme and their actions should be heavily scrutinized. If they can kill someone with little to no evidence they should be just as susceptible to losing everything with even the slightest fuck up.

            You have to take the emotion out of it when making decisions like that. If you don’t, you end up in the exact same spot

        As long as there is a 3rd party review process to filter out background people in restrooms and other sensitive areas to avoid getting random people in trouble because a cop was present with a camera on.

        You know, like a 10 year old using a urinal.

      Off or purposely blocked by their hand for more time than can be considered a reasonable accident should be a crime and immediate ban from law enforcement for life.
