“You have to wonder if there would have been charges if there wasn’t video evidence.”–Philip Stinson, former policeman now Bowling Green State University criminologist who compiles data about criminal cops

Stinson has told the Associated Press about what has transpired so far in 2015: 15 cops charged with murder or manslaughter while on duty, that’s triple the yearly average.  It should be noted this involves on-duty police, not cops who were off duty, or cops charged with lesser crimes!  Stinson stresses that if it weren’t for civilians demanding that video evidence be used most cops literally get away with murder, and remember, Stinson is a former cop.

“This had all the trappings of a life-threatening situation for a law-enforcement officer, PCP-laced juvenile who had been wreaking havoc on cars with a knife, except you have the video that shows a straight-out execution!“-Joseph Tacopina, New York lawyer who has defended police in the past

“For forever, police have owned the narrative of what happened between any encounter between a police officer and a civilian.  What video does is it takes that power of the narrative away from the police……If not for the recording, I have no doubt that the officer in the Walter Scott case would be out on patrol today.“-David A. Harris, University of Pittsburgh law professor
