Eric Garner case shows body cameras on cops won't make any difference

Some suggested after Ferguson that cops should have to wear body cameras.

We have a video in this case, and there is still no indictment. As long as local prosecutors protect police, nothing is going make a difference.

It DOES mean that body cameras are not and will not be a panacea.

They could, however, be an improvement.

I'd be interested to know if and where they've been field tested and how that came out.

there were less instances of brutality in a small California town I forget the name less complaints filed as well. However, I have been all over the boards promoting your idea of the local prosecutors not being involved in the indictiment process. I have no idea how anyone thought that was a good idea in the first place.
