If it were just one incident, then yes, it would be anecdotal. But it's far from a single incident. How much time do you actually spend watching badge cam video? I watch some just about every day. As well as video of civilian defensive encounters. Police often go to extraordinary lengths to avoid killing perpetrators. It's my understanding that data actually shows officer-involved shootings are going down, not up.

the people are in the streets because police violence has been epidemic. It is institutionalized brutality done by bigots and haters. The police departments need to be cleaned out. They need to be responsible for what they do. I advocate the cop involved in a lawsuit for violence pay a percentage of the judgement. Detroit had to pay off 3 different 1 million dollar law suits caused by one cop. He should have paid too.

Yeah, the police have the power in every city. That is the pattern. The people are simple. Tell them you can make the cities safer by allowing the cops to brutalize citizens, and they will buy what they think is security. They believe the cops will brutalize "others". But cops are not that disciplined.
They cannot turn it off. They are clubbing and attacking peaceful citizens on the streets. They wear protective gear, carry mace, tear gas, and clubs. The people are standing in T shirts and shorts.How can a man do that ?

I stream shit all the time, we replay incidents for police in our jits school. so there are a million officers making how much contact every single day, how many incidents have you seen. Remember the mortality rate among police is almost the same as civillians, its a far less dangerous job than we are told.
yes, almost all cops will go to extrodinary measures to protect citizens, even the ones they are arresting, but there are training tactics and bad apples that need to change and be weeded out.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

So they turn them off. But that was the reason the cams were started.If a cop turns it off, he should be assumed guilty. he has something to hide.
What has made the difference is cameras on phones. The people are filming cop abuse. That is what happened this time.
I've watched hundreds of OIS incidents, and hundreds, at least, of civilian self defense incidents. After seeing all of these incidents, I simply cannot agree with your assessment. Do you have a reliable source for your assertions? Not doubting you, just interested in seeing the stats.

The Minn. top cop was supposed to be doing that, but the power of the police force in cities makes them immune to change. The police have lots of power. Many, many top cops tried to change the departments and were rebuked. They do not have the needed power. Even the power of the people has failed in fixing them. Getting cameras on the police was as big a victory as anyone ever had.
I don't think this event will get real change either. I have no idea what will work. Fire them all and start over....I know, that will not happen.
