First, police that break the law actually need to see real punishment. What is the point of body camera footage if they can get away with murdering people on camera anyway?
Why first? It seems like more transparency is a step towards being held accountable.
More transparency isn't a guarantee of justice. Look at the cases of Eric Garner and Danny Shaver. Their murders were recorded on camera and both responsible officers walk free today.
I didn't say it was a guarantee, I said it's a step.
I think the other posters are implying it's not a step. The public is currently aware to how police abuse their power and walk free. The situation is like a fox guarding the hen house. The farmer being "justice" doesn't seem to care when the fox takes a hen whenever it happens.
