Every cop in America needs a functioning body camera. I’d refuse to go out on patrol without one. They protect the officers as much as the public, maybe more so.
And they don’t turn off. Or come off. On duty, or OFF. If you’re wearing your badge and gun.
Nah you just didn’t like the realistic answer I gave you. Apparently It’s OK for cops to continue to shoot unarmed blacks in the back. Those receiving the bullets or knees on the neck should be grateful?

This is a ridiculous assumption. There are several incidents of white (or hispanic) males getting shot in similar incidents. You are simply parroting a belief based on nothing more than what you "believe" people to be thinking
I honestly don't think you can discard racism.
Blacks just tend to point the finger at the wrong people and scream 'racist'.
How many white guys would have been shot in back 7 times? You cops start with a whole different demeanor with blacks in identical situations
Nope haven’t watched all the videos. Only watched the guy walking away from the cops. One cop pulling on his shirt bottom trying to stop him after he rounded the front of his car. After he opened his car door cop shot him in the back pop pop pop pop pop.Ok...let's give you a luxury that law enforcement didn't have. Surely based on your comments to this point, you have watched all the videos that have been released. How do you suggest was the best way the LEOs should have best handled this situation?

Exactly, what these same posters say if the video showed 4 officers jumping on this guy, handcuffing him and having to fight him while he screams ? The thread would be "Police beat poor black man AGAIN"We have created an environment where cops are going to second guess what they're doing, and instead of quickly resolving an issue they let things play out in the hopes they're not on video doing something "bad". They could have dogpiled this guy. But maybe they thought 10 people filming that would mean their jobs or suspensions. So they play kid gloves with him until he forces their hand into something worse. Could they really let a guy with a warrant for sexual assault just drive away? A guy that has fought the police reaching into a car? This type of incident will continue to occur as long we keep sending conflicting messages about what cops should be doing.
