I’m not apologizing for anybody here. Things are tough for MPD right now. That is pretty obvious. And to be fair, things would not be this way if Derek Chauvin had not sat on George Floyd’s neck (or if a police officer hadn’t shot and killed Justine Diamond in 2017 or Jamar Clark in 2015, etc. etc.) The MPD has a history of incidents that have resulted in unnecessary deaths of residents it was sworn to protect. So to pretend that some accountability doesn’t rest on the police here is dishonest.
Yep, your Democrat controlled Police Dept with their Democrat Mayor and Police Chiefs are the problem.
we can do without the cops until the laws are changed and policies are change to stop them from being the biggest criminal gang in america
^ Notice how everyone who is anti-police doesn't live in bad neighborhoods or have to deal with criminals. But the world has a way of equalizing itself, keep getting rid of cops and see how fast it spreads to where you live. Nothing like getting punched in the face or stabbed to knock some common sense into you

we arent going to get rid of police anyway. if we do, then the locality should just respect the 2nd amendment.
but police arent going to ever give an inch voluntarily and so we should be willing to let them resign if that is what they do when it comes to changes which will hold them accountable when they break the law and violate peoples' rights.
Because the overwhelming truth is that police officers are falsely accused! Not only that you have politicians that dictate firing and discipline of officers. So yeah cops need protection as well!
I can understand that, everyone needs protection against false claims. Wouldn't properly used body cams provide the same to eliminate 'he said...she/he said'?

Yes they certainly help. BTW the vast majority of police officers welcome body cameras. For every incident that a cop gets in trouble because of body camera footage there are 100 others where it vindicates cops!

Yeah, those were my thoughts. What can be better than actual footage of events. So would I be wrong in considering body cams a fair replacement for police unions, or is there something I'm missing?

Yes you would still be wrong. Still tons of things that cops need protections from. Politicians and supervisors immediately come to mind!

Plenty of companies function fine without labor unions. That is what an HR department and employment attorneys are for. Labor unions just get in the way. And as I recall it was police unions that pushed back at attempts to employ body cameras in a number of cities.
