and that may be overkill if we just got to the point where every LEO had a body camera.

I would guess that given the video and all the peripheral information, that Garner's wife is going to get a fat settlement from the City for his death

and as body cameras show more examples of excessive police force (whether you think this was an example of it or not) having it documented is going to ultimately lead to more civil lawsuits that the police pay out (or settle out of court) -
which will result in wholesale policy change within a department.

So even if a policeman is justified within the law, if his actions end up costing the city $2m, that will motivate change more than any outcry from the public.


I don't want to sound rude, but you have a lot to learn about the law enforcement business.
