Good for you. I'm sure the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division's top priority is producing proof that satisfies your biased mind within your arbitrary timeframe that they were in fact already investigating Slager. They'll produce all the evidence they've collected if /when this goes to tr...

You're trying to justify this immoral stance (placing officer oversight ahead of officer safety) by stating an officer can just easily purchase his own vest (and gun). Let them eat cake, right? Maybe vestless cops should just contact OSHA and force you, the employer, to pony up for necessary safety...

I think departments should issue body armor and provide a stipend for purchasing a handgun (which I think should, within certain needs dictated by department policy be a personal choice)...or a least a stipend for an officer to purchase his own body armor. Policing is one of the only legitimate fun...

PS: and for the record, state police were investigating the Slager-Scot case before the cell phone video was released. See there are other investigative tactics (evidence, ballistics etc) used by real police who better understand such things than keyboard warriors who speculate, pontificate, and cl...

Whether or not cops are recorded is not the issue that reveals your anti-cop bias (most already are - dash cams). The issue I have with BOTH of your written assertions is that you both place a higher value on police oversight (body cams) than police safety (body armor). I find that open admission f...

THIS There are still officers in small departments who are not issued BODY ARMOR! Let's fix that problem before we start throwing money at body cameras. I'd rather spend the money on body cameras. :tiphat: I'd be ok with making that a state expenditure though. I agree. While I think departments sho...

Not necessarily. But it certainly looks horrible.

besides this linky has there been any discussion of this on other sites?

They ain't no Mormons ! None the Morman church would claim anyway . Am I the only one thinking trips to Walmart are just getting weird at this point? As to the "would you help" Just the video is chaotic. I imagine Real Life (TM) was far worse. I don't see how I could have helped. To the o...

I know nothing about this source, but this is certainly a provocative theory. I don't believe it exonerates Slager, but it certainly casts the events in a different light that could partially explain what is seen on the video. Grains of salt etc ... http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/04/12/ga...

As for CedarParkDad, you've made your opinion clear. I don't care to continue discussing it with someone as narrow minded and obviously anti-cop as you. You're on a board where people are pushing for their rights under the Bill of Rights, pushing that bad police officers be held responsible, and th...

indeed.

Indeed. At that point its three dead clowns on the ground.

I'm pleased the dad decked one.

I know full well these concerns will fall on deaf ears. I fully expect mandatory body cams in the next year. Hopefully this wont be the straw they breaks the camel's back. But an exodus of good, experienced cops out of the profession is already being documented nationwide. If body cams make cops le...
