The only NYPD body camera footage released to date has been edited & packaged propaganda used to exonerate cops after bad acts. Body cams are a multi-million dollar (taxpayer funded) effort to eliminate transparency & public accountability of NYPD, sold as “police reform.”

We probably agree on: - police are corrupt af + lie about evidence - police should wear body cams - that footage should be accessible to the public after a reasonable review by an impartial third party - police forces don't have enough external accountability for misconduct
Sure. Those are safe points to make. What's missing from your analysis is the money and power involved, they are central to the equation in a way that Nick breaks down regularly. It's an act of willful ignorance at this point to sit and wait for bodycams to save the day.
