So weird to have Mike Brown's case — the greatest argument for body cameras — be immediately followed by Garner's, its greatest rebuttal.
@mattdpearce People argue Mike Brown had robbed store: therefore all justified. Then, one video doesn't have impact: therefore no impact?

@zeynep@mattdpearce don't know who is arguing "no impact", but vids != charges makes the civil liberties tradeoff harder to stomach -
Is there any evidence on body cameras changing police trial/conviction rate in the aggregate?
