white folks doing 'racial justice', caps
everyone is lobbying for police body cams and i'm just sitting here pointing at the multiple reports that show body cams not lowering police violence or mortality at all like.....
I SAID DEFUND, NOT GIVE 40K FOR CAMERAS
@eletrotupi @glitterwitch Stanford studied police cam footage for over a year, and found a strong correlation between whether the cop was respectful (using words like "please", "sir", "ma'am" vs. barking out orders with words like "bro", "homey") and skin color. And if you study police attitude & language for a particular intervention, the race could be determined ~70% of the time.
@glitterwitch @eletrotupi without body cams, that study would not have been possible. Financing body cams supports the cause underpinning the defund police lobby.
