I hate how the people can be so unhappy. The police are
supposed to protect us, the citizens, and they do, but I hate how some people can
blame the police officers for one incident. It's like the police protect us for
ten years without any major incident, some officers will get killed doing their
duty, but one mistake and all these people swoop in and start complaining. I
understand that killing someone isn't just "an incident", but I mean
the details are sketchy and we all know that you should never trust humans,
because "In the end, we're all human, and you can get two people who see the
same event differently." The police officer who shot Oscar Grant might
have shot him on purpose, or maybe it was an accident. Maybe Oscar Grant didn't
do anything to provoke the officer, or maybe he did. It just seems kind of
stupid to push something so far that we need to add more measures to make sure
the facts are straight.
The problem is if the BART police start wearing video
cameras, there will still be all these problems. We are in a deficit right now. How can we afford to buy cameras
for all these officers? Another issue would be that people would probably come
out and start complaining about how the police officers are "videotaping
them without their consent", or "it's an invasion of my
privacy". People will always find something to complain about. I don't
think the video cameras would solve anything at all.
