…you read the same paragraph we just did, right? Did you miss the part where he DOES have a body camera? He filmed it. He’s not holding a cell phone. He’s holding a gun. Which he used to shoot Rene Good in the face.
He did not have a body camera. He’s got discretion on what he wants to film. Many ICE attacks are not filmed. There has been several other shootings that were not filmed and as a result there has been little backlash against because the ICE lies cannot be debunked.
if you watch the new angle released in the past few days you can see he’s using his own personal phone. he actually swaps hands, pulls out his gun and leans into the car so it looks like he’s next to it on his camera.
body cam would make it clearer but if they can’t afford cameras with the funds already, which is enough to fund a small military let alone 4k agents, I’m pretty sure they are just going to spend it on mustard gas next.
This is incorrect as others pointed out. A phone is not a body cam.
They released the phone cam, which they used to try to justify his actions with. A body cam wouldn’t have because it would’ve showed he was fucking hit and it would’ve shown him shooting Renee in the face to the world.
The reason they don’t use body cams is because the unspoken word is, “show what you want people to see; throw the phone down when you don’t want them to see it.”
There’s a couple seconds we couldn’t see, specifically because it was a cell phone and not a body cam. Not that the fascists would ever admit to wrongdoing, but it probably would be convincing even more people that it was a murder if we had body cam footage also.
It’s not going to do anything. They’ll just turn them off or say they were malfunctioning. Or just get away with it even with video like we’re seeing here. Recording the fascism isn’t going to stop the fascism. They’ll just “oh no, anyway…”
I mean it would be an improvement if they had body cameras. But don’t give them a cent for anything else.
They already have more money than any single branch of the US military (I think? Forget exactly), they can afford bodycams.

The entire point of a body cam is to always film.

I am not saying any right winger would ever be honest, I’m just saying in theory a body cam would have given us better evidence than his cell phone.
