People's frustration comes from changes being implemented TOO slowly, and in some locations there appears to be no change at all.
Cameras and tech to prove guilt from misconduct cost money, something that police stations lack albeit some police stations clearly have the money but don't implement these changes which I am against. Give it time too things don't change over small periods of time. I am estimating either punishment for misconduct will occur more or there is gonna be less instances of misconduct by cops in the next 5-10 years as policies change and make camera wearing mandatory. But once again this isn't going to happen over night it takes time, why such policies have not been implemented before I don't know, maybe it has to do with technology or lack of resources but I personally don't know.
Mandatory cameras seems like something that could be rolled out relatively soon but it is mostly talked about rather than acted upon
It takes money, they don't just magically get cameras because they are the cops. Some police departments have it some don't but I agree they should be implemented. And it's not just cameras it's the tech to set them up to work properly, store the videos somewhere, what do we do with the hours of useless footage, someone has to delete it because keeping useless video is a waste of resources. Now we need someone to delete them and someone to deem whether something is wasted video or important evidence. There is more to this than just get cameras and with the sheer amout of police departments imagine all of these logistics implemented, it's not that easy and what I described is just the surface of this.
'Innocent until guilty' is a given, but if guilty people aren't appropriately penalised or even prosecuted then that phrase becomes meaningless.
If you are proven guilty then there is a book and the judge decides the sentence but you need to be proven guilty which is an aspect a lot of people ignore when it comes to these issues. If the evidence is there they are going to be in prison serving time just like in this case with the video evidence.
