Officer Kelli Swinton approaches Burkemper’s patrol car. There is the sound of an opening car door, and she loudly declares: “Hold up. Hold up, y’all. Hold up. Hold up, everybody, hold up. We’re red right now, so if you guys are worried about cameras, just wait.”"Red" is cop-slang for "a camera is running." In short, the cops were alleged to have turned off all of the cameras and then beat for a few minutes on the arrestee, before they they turned the cameras back on.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Shorter StL Cops: "Turn Off the Cameras Before Beating Suspects."
That's the unspoken message given by one cop during an arrest:

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
One almost thinks WE should wear body cameras for our own protection... dammit
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, from a tactical opsec standpoint seems like the right move.
ReplyDeleteIt's becoming increasingly obvious that these cameras will have to be tamper resistant, should not have operator controls, or they should be configured to insert an alert when the operator operates the off switch and continue running in stealth mode.
It's hard to see what actual good they'll do if the bad eggs can control whether they are operational...
