We are investigating the footage internally > we have found no fault in our internal investigation > no you can’t see the footage
Interesting that they only release bodycam footage when it supports their narrative. Almost like having them wear cams in the first place was a PR move.
I feel like bodycam footage should all get released after some period of time by default unless they like file paperwork explaining how it would interfere with an ongoing investigation (and even then only allow the release to be delayed not stopped)
What's the point of having accountability if there's no accountability? Was it just an excuse to pad their budgets by adding cameras for the entire force? Yes. Mostly. And some still don't have cameras, which is nuts, but holy fuck. We really got shafted.
