That is of course nonsense. The police officers are fully aware their conduct can be interpreted as criminal...so they are in fact concealing information about a potential felony. As soon as they saw the cell phone the new there was trouble.
Are you thinking that the body cameras worn by police are to allow the general public to listen to conversations between police officers when they are not interacting with suspects or the general public?
If police pull someone over for a traffic stop, they turn on the body camera. When the interaction with the driver is done, they turn off the cameras. Why is that suspicious?
You know what's really relevant? The fact that some cop yelled 'mute' after they killed the guy and they all cut the volume on their body cams...probably to come up with the narrative you seem to have memorized.
The cop who murdered Justine Damond never even turned his camera on.
How could he have memorized a narrative that hasn’t been brought forth yet? Or maybe i’ve Missed the news and the narrative has been brought forth?
You've missed the news.

Are you really this ignorant or are you just spewing nonsense because you have no argument?
The purpose of body cameras is so cops can be accountable and transparent. That all goes away when the camera is disabled in any way.
Accountability and transparency
The police executives whom PERF consulted cited many ways in which body-worn cameras have
helped their agencies strengthen accountability and transparency
.
These officials said that, by
providing a video record of police activity, body-worn cameras have made their operations more
transparent to the public and have helped resolve questions following an encounter between officers
and members of the public
.
These officials also said that body-worn
cameras are helping to prevent problems from arising in the first place
by increasing officer professionalism, helping agencies evaluate and
improve officer performance, and allowing agencies to identify and
correct larger structural problems within the department
.
As a result,
they report that their agencies are experiencing fewer complaints and
that encounters between officers and the public have improved

Yep, the cameras are used to resolve questions following an encounter between officers and members of the public. That is exactly what was recorded on the police body cameras. I'm sure people are very curious about how police officers interact with each other and would really like to have video of those conversations, but that's not the purpose of the body cameras.
