First as Tragedy, Then as Farce -
Billions of dollars have been hastily poured into the global banking system in a frantic attempt at financial stabilization. Where is the social stability?
quote [ CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) - In an historic civil rights case, a federal judge Thursday sentenced ex-North Charleston, South Carolina, police officer Michael Slager to 20 years in prison for shooting and killing unarmed black man Walter Scott in 2015. ]

The increase in fatality is certainly a point to consider, and I would be interested in something more in depth as to why that is. However, from the standpoint that they do not change police behavior... that's fine with me.
I am not looking to change police behavior (at least not with cameras) but to ensure that A) no one has to question a hero cop's actions ever again, and B) that shitty cops who lie, over-react, or otherwise breach public trust be held accountable.
As for how we train police, I don't disagree, but I have to point out that in a country with liberal access to guns there isn't really much of a choice from a personal safety to the responding officer perspective.

Edit: And for what it's worth, I am sorry Norok. It's pretty clear you are not a troll. I was wrong.
