Going back to bodycams: @Blackamazon on surveillance, sousveillance, privacy, and black women https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/everyone-watches-nobody-sees-how-black-women-disrupt-surveillance-theory …

"What we have decided to call surveillance is actually a constant interplay of various forms of monitoring that have existed and focused on
black people, and specifically black women, long before cameras were around, let alone ubiquitous." -- @Blackamazon

"Why must black death be broadcast and consumed to be believe, and what is it beyond spectacle if it cannot be used to obtain justice?"
-
Maybe cameras will help. Maybe surveillance footage won't be selectively used to put people in prison, rather than hold cops accountable.
-
But I reject the belief that things are only a little broken, that we only need to demilitarize, that easy fixes will result in justice.
-
The question of bodycams, the question of gun control, the question of increased federal power over the state...
-
all these place black people in an impossible position, asking them to choose between death and increased state power over their bodies
