And seeing the video every time something like a killing happens, would provide us taxpayers with the data we need.


Once something like that is implemented I can't guarantee but I will tell you will see arrests, complaints against the department and violent encounters will decrease. Finding out whether a police shooting is justifiable or not is a not the point, it is keeping the police accountable for all interactions.

I am a law abiding citizen but no matter the situation I always do it


You're a white kid. If you're getting pulled over alot then you're doing something wrong. To imply that you're not, is to insult the legitimate plight of blacks in this country who are pulled over for no other reason than they are black.
