Also, yes, I do think that headline is bending over backwards to avoid saying “bastard cops murdered someone and lied about it,” but the media’s unwillingness to say these things is part of the story in these cases imo
we have HAD body cams, and they have NOT been held accountable. They make things WORSE because if they catch something on camera later they can use it against you even if it had nothing to do with what was being recorded at the time.
How can they use it against you if you had nothing to do with an incident???
“anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law”
Is not “anything you say may or may not be used to help prove your innocence”
they tell you flat out they’re out to get you even if they know they’re wrong
They literally just do it and the courts go along with it.
