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.”

noooooo not quite. Body cams are an effort to increase transparency and accountability that have not caught up to the corruption of police. Next comes laws about unedited footage and handling of said footage.

Body cams were marketed to the public as a project that would address police corruption from the start. They haven't and they won't because that's just their marketing, not their purpose.

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.

..... I don't think anyone is saying that they are a whole solution. Just a single step in a complex reform process. yes, adding cameras to every single cop costs money...that is like...not a surprise i guess?
