Once again a great article on calling out the misleading way that most major publications & media portray & slant their reporting in order to capture what they feel the public “wants” rather than the total picture , as is done here.
Amongst other things, I agree that “body worn cameras don’t substantially change officer behavior” they only tend to capture the behaviour (if they are turned on or the video is even made public). What’s the point in capturing a police killing on camera?? It’s too late by then. Isn’t/shouldn’t the end goal be to de-escalate the scenario to try & avoid a shooting altogether? More training is needed overall.
