On idea I've heard of that I liked was to have all cops wear body cams.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

The cops can just turn the camera off, as shown in this article.

OH, that is just WRONG. I really like the idea of body cameras BECAUSE IT HELPS THE HONEST COPS AS WELL and turning it off should cause an automatic investigation even if no one gets shot.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Simple way to deal with this.  You turn the body camera off while you're on duty, FBI or State Police are notified and they come pick you up and you get a month in jail.

Some people are arguing against this by invoking the slippery slope of "What, should they also be filmed while they're going to the bathroom, or on their break?  Would you like to monitored constantly on your job?  I bet you've said some unflattering things about your boss during break, and officers won't get to do that if they're always filmed.".

As some have pointed out, many workplaces do constantly monitor employees.  Someone else pointed out that constantly monitored cops could have problems in states where both parties in a recording need to consent to being recorded, which, even if you can argue around it, is a lot more reasonable than "how will they be able to freely spout shit that could come back and bite them in ass?".

So, this is what the world looks like 150 years after slavery was abolished, huh?

It looks like there's some good news.  The Ferguson police chief has apologized, and the Justice Department is cracking down.

How is that in any way shape or form "good news"?  This was what was always going to go down.  And that apology didn't come with his resignation letter nor is Officer Wilson behind bars awaiting processing to be put on trial for murder.

Ironbite-this town is going to go nova if the grand jury comes back with no charges filed against Wilson.
