If someone assaulted me, I would want it to be on video, so I can use it as evidence to convict them of assault.

If I had to kill someone in self defense, I would want it to be on video, so I can prove that it was self defense.

If I had a video of me killing someone in self defense and everyone was accusing me of murder, I would plaster the video all over the internet to prove that it was self defense.

So why don’t police officers feel the same way? Why aren’t the police begging for politicians to require all involuntary interactions with police to be on video? Why do police officers object, sometimes violently, to people filming them? Why do they wait so long to release the video when they’re accused of using excessive force?

Additionally, if I’d shot somebody I did not mean to die? I’d be calling an ambulance FIRST THING and then try my damnest to stench their wounds and keep them alive while waiting for it.
