The funniest part is that body cams were a marquee demand of BLM.
But in practice they have been a political boomerang. Instead of validating the left’s sweeping narrative, body cam footage has completely undercut it, and made one inconvenient truth impossible to evade: the behavior on the street is worse, uglier, more chaotic+barbaric, and more morally depraved than even the most cynical racists ever imagined.

One of the cleanest backfires in modern politics.
