Anchorage Alaska police won't release bodycam video of 3 shootings. It's creating a fight over transparency
Three shootings in three weeks involving police officers in Anchorage, Alaska, have rattled residents and created a fight over transparency.
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.
About time we make it not their choice.
It's because it's SHOCKING how innocent they are. It's for your own good. Move along.
Members of the general public don't have the mental capacity to handle such heroism.
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.
