Chicago paid out half a billion over an 8 year period.

Doubling the amount of cameras is not going to have a major financial hit.

Idk he said he'd fire a police officer for leaving the station without making sure there was a backup camera in the car. Put a guy out of house and home for just that. His kids will have to leave school, he'll foreclose on his house...I mean good luck finding a job in this day and age with FIRED POLICE OFFICER on your resume. Basically a death sentence, all because he was in a hurry and forgot to make a thorough inspection of his car before he left.

But really, just to show you the attitude towards police officers we look no further than Ogie's treatment. He makes repeated terrorist threads with explicit calls to action, is given multiple opportunities to walk them back but never does and sometimes admits he shouldn't have made those threats but never says he didn't mean them. He's treated with some degree of light reverence for this, and can be counted on to come back the next and do it again.

How much did the record heat in the area yesterday lead to things being calmer last night?

This just isn't how the government thinks when it budgets.

Yes, I see an issue but what parent doesn't do that in an array of ways outside of really liberal households?

I don't really say these things outside of to you and our community here out of fear that I'll be accused of dismissing someone's reality. However, I hear so many anecdotal items that are used as an example of differentiated treatment that sound absolutely familiar to my experience.

and I say this fully believing Chris Rock's joke about no white guy wanting to change places with him even though he is rich. I think there are all sorts of enhanced issues black america is burdened by. I also think there is some piling on.

This thread can be summarized as Juice, WFR, and America making complete asses of their racist selves. They just want cops to be free to beat on black folks and realize body cameras would get in the way of that.

After all, if some civilian didn't videotape the murder of George Floyd, you know they would've claimed it was a natural death with no police involvement.

Police should want these cameras. If their actions are actually lawful, then these cameras will be their exculpatory evidence when they are accused of wrongdoing.

I think that is the nicest thing Ogie has ever said about cops!

There have been 1224 people shot in Chicago this year as of last night. Only 5 by police. Things must be improving.

Ogie's literally the only guy saying that. As you even noted, I probably dislike cops more than anyone on the board outside of Ogie and I'm not saying anything close to that either. You have no argument here.

If we’re still doing this half assed scenario , the actual inspection / Maintenance of the gear should have to be the responsibility of an independent party. Then both he and the officer sign off on it before the tour of duty that everything is working properly . Speaking of Ogie , what’s the body count of dead policemen now murdered in memory of George Floyd at ?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The most damning argument that anyone could make that this isn't an idea aimed at punishing police for no valid reason is that domestic terrorism advocate Ogie is clearly in bad faith saying "wait, its actually GOOD for police".

Hey Ogie, have any lunatic fantasies you want to share today? Any dreams of an armed rampage through a police station? Say it loud say it proud, let's get that shit in your case file at the Hoover Building.

Man we need sports back.

No, you're just thinking it. Honestly, enough police officers have died over the last week that the whole "only good cop is a dead cop" routine really isn't cute or funny. Grow the fuck up.

That .04% is the real problem. Needs to be zero .

What if a solar storm shows up that is similar to past events that would destroy all electronics that are currently on in the United States pushing us into a time where power grids fail and it is impossible to power the cameras and then a police officer sees a person jaywalking? Can they write this person a ticket or do they have to wait until society rebuilds in a world where electronics basically don't exist for 6 to 18 months. Did anyone think of that?

The other really obvious and easy police reform is better recruitment and hiring in the african american community.

It's a good job, with good pay and benefits and plenty of room for quick advancement. It's also a noble undertaking. We can build high school programs feeding kids into the military but not the police?

That’s what our current police commissioner said when Ogies hero ambushed those cops in Dallas . For all you arm chair quarterbacks , we are hiring . Come be the change you want and make a difference .

Hey, I wonder if universal pre-K would help with this?

Now I'm part of an even more amoral system but the whole "hate military contractors" thing is so Bush-era.

Remember in Ferguson when that huge expose was coming out about the officers being members of the KKK ??

All you need is an Associate's degree or three years in the military. Most of my friends who are cops joined becuase they could not find a good paying job in their college field in the early 2000s. A few others actually were criminal justice majors.
