    There actually is a real movement in the U.S. by the same racial grievance crowd that pushed for bodycams after the Saint Floyd of Fentanyl (peace be
    upon him) incident to now ban them because-- rather than catch all sorts of racist cops doing horrible things to black people-- the body cams have
    revealed just how feral and unhinged the black community is on a daily basis and that for every one instance of police misconduct caught on video, the cameras clear a hundred cops of false claims of brutality and racism.

    Since the cameras show the reality of how black people behave and don't allow them to successfully lie about being mistreated by police, they've been declared racist and race hustlers like Sharpton and Kendi and Jasmine Crockett have called for them to be banned.

    The whole BLM demand for bodycams movement has been one of the biggest self-owns in the history of race hustling.

    This is exactly the attitude -- championed by Mayor Brandon himself in
    his campaign -- that got rid of ShotSpotter in Chicago as it led to
    police approaching a scene hot and then treating anyone they encounter
    too harshly, presumed to be the gunmen. Generally, the residents of
    these areas were not pushing for the ShotSpotter removal, plus it had
    the unintended consequence of police no longer being able to help
    victims of gunshot wounds while they haven't yet died of blood loss.

    Earlier this year, Democrats in Congress were demanding that ICE agents be required to wear bodycams, something to which the Republicans readily agreed. Now, as part of their DHS shutdown demands, they're backtracking and saying, "On second thought, we don't really want the cameras on all the time. We

    Nothing says "peaceful protest" like demanding all cameras be turned off.
    Their problem is that the cameras don't know who the approved villains are and tend to capture everything without political bias.

    Yeah, it's tiresome slang, like mocking someone is
    described as DESTROYING.

    Typical slangey political debate:

    "your candidate has been mocked by someone else, you got OWNED!"
    (so hearing your values criticized makes you a slave?)

    When the youtube video is posted, it's titled "Candidate
    DESTROYED by a heckler!!!!" (so we never have to hear
    about that candidate again?)

    Mockery, perhaps, shouldn't be considered a complete
    ideological toolkit.


    In this case, the race
    hustlers thought that using body cameras would prove that cops
    are racist but actually vindicated them.

    Cops are going to be denounced as racist regardless
    of circumstances, cameras or no. It is a routine and
    profitable tactic, and will continue as long as the media
    blithely takes every accusation of the racism of cops
    at face-value.

    A Non-Partisan plea, "more ideology and less tactics"!

    ------------------------------
    So rather than arrest the criminals regardless of their skin color, the government deemed the *cameras* (and therefore, one assumes, reality) to be racist and got rid of them. Sounds about right.

    Which supports the notion that crime is more of
    a policy than a lack of technology; none of
    the surveillance systems are being used to
    stop crime in high crime areas, whether in
    Britain or the USA. It's like the camera
    systems are being used as to support "designated
    high crime neighborhoods", where being a crime
    victim is considered to be a case of "the bitch
    got what he deserved" or in more plain
    language as the sadistic philosophy that "victims
    always deserve it".
