Turning off your body camera should be a fireable offense.So a guy with no drugs in his house decides to have a shootout with known police officers (who conveniently have their body cams off) for no reason? You believe what you want to believe, witness or not.
The likely scenario here is they're told to knock. They don't want to knock. They turn off their body cams, no knock, and then find a witness to cover their ass.
I always wanted to do it , but after being able to go all over the country and see the stuff I grew up wanting to see , I’ve about decided that most things are better left to the image that you have in your mind of it .
No-knock warrants have relevance for certain situations. I mean if you know you are hitting a drug lab or a known gang member location etc. A no knock makes sense. But if you are hitting a building you have surveilled and you know only two people are there. There is no need for a “no-knock” warrant.Not gonna get political, but I think the biggest message that should be taken from Breonna Taylor's death is no-knock warrants should not be legal.
They said that there was no body cam footage bc they are not allowed to film members of the undercover narcotics unitThey said no cams were being worn. Photo showed one of the cops wearing his earlier that night. Even if the initial statement held up, why wouldn't they be wearing them? It stinks to high heaven. For all we know, the footage did exist.
so what does "mostly peaceful protests" mean? is it that most of the protestors were peaceful while a small group was not or that most protests are peaceful but a few protests were not.
Famously a college adjunct professor attempted to kill someone with one in... 2016, maybe... and was essentially let off with no penalty, despite it being on video. Leftist judge.One of the DC streams was following several peaceful protesters carrying bike locks. Now maybe they all had their bike locks picked at the same time, but it almost seemed like they were planning to use them for something else.
Thanks, still sceptical. Weird how three seasoned cops would have eschewed the liability shielding safety of body cam footage. I can't believe that wouldn't be SOP for any warrant being served.
