| Topic | Body cams are "unfair to officers" according to the police union... |

Even the best cops can't be alert and focused and doing work at every moment of every shift. Having downtime, fiddling around with your phone, just sitting around waiting for a report, going in a store to grab a coffee, etc.,, etc. are all pretty much a given for police officers just in the same way that paramedics and firefighters spend a good deal of time just waiting for a call. That may also protect officers that jerk it in their car or doze off in their shift, but it's a protection in place for everyday downtime and moments of checking out to ensure that we have body cams in place for when they're ready needed. they should have down time allotted to them then, rather than them taking it whenever they feel like it. protecting officers from themselves and accountability is why we have problems with the Blue Line. if you give people authority over who lives and who dies, they should be fully expected to handle the responsibilities that come with it. what's with the kiddy gloves? --- Never let those intent on misunderstanding you be the narrator to YOUR story!
