Eric Garner's killing was caught on camera. And we don't even have word on an indictment, much less a trial.

Tamir Rice's killing also on camera. Media's already trying to dig up criminal record, not for the man who killed him but for the 12-y-o.

For now, I know this: body cams will not solve shit. Dealing with racism, and dealing with anti-blackness in particular, will.
