Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

While I do believe that if more citizens video what police do, the situation will get better. My concern about the SC incident is that, while and indictment is nice......it's not a conviction. Indictment and conviction is two very very different animals.

But not if the good citizens keep filming, and the media keeps carrying the stories.
I do admit that most departments regs & procedures are stacked against the citizens, but little-by-little the pendulum can swing back back a bit. I suspect that's already happening - no departments want the political heat, loss of public confidence, and eventual financial loss that occurs when these videos surface.
Remember, the SC copper was just indicted on Murder - that's a big deal. You can be sure his fellow officers are thinking a little harder about what circumstances are appropriate to pull the trigger. And thinking a bit more conservatively, I'm sure ....
