In response to "Eh, I don't totally agree with that. The chief of police in Dallas (I think he was the chief)...John Oliver showed part of his speech" by John Murphy

Sure, if you write them a blank check. So you don't. -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 8, 12:10 10
- it was like what a year ago, they wanted dashcams on all cars, they wanted vest cameras on everyone. - groiny Jun 8, 12:12 9
  - it's $1000/year/camera. that's not a crazy amount of money. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 12:14 8
    - so, where was the 4 vest cam footage of the 4 cops who were involved? -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 12:16 7
      - MPD has been withholding the vest cam video of the Floyd incident. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 12:25 2
        
        which is part of the problem IMO. -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 12:28 1
        
        Agreed. It should immediately go to a national database that is subject to FOIA requests. - Beryllium Jun 8, 12:56
      - Pretty sure I have seen a lot of it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 12:21 2
        
        I have not seen any of them. - groiny Jun 8, 12:22 1
        
        Looks like I saw dashcam and some bodycam from one officer. But yes, the rest was civilian. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 12:48
      - i don't know. cams should come with immediate dismissal over missing footage of an incident. - colin Jun 8, 12:21
