Personally, I think its a good "start" but there a lot of drawbacks to this as well.
What if the police officer sabotages the camera? What if the camera breaks or gets contaminated and messes up the footage?
I don't think cameras should be in the hands of the officer because that gives them control to manipulate the footage.

Um, I started the thread and I certainly care (obviously) but no, it does not DIRECTLY affect me as I don't live in the USA and am not a minority. However if you think it doesn't EMOTIONALLY effect me when I see it on the news, again and again, then you don't know me at all. Just because it isn't happening to me personally does not mean I can't get damn angry about it.

The fact is that black people in America ARE being discriminated against, hence my "Doctor King" point, and although I'm no fan of hers I think it's unfair of you to say that Soulflower is twisting the facts or making things up when the news stories clearly back her claims up. Obviously this thread was weighted on the side of white cop/black kid violence, that was my intention. I'm not sure why so many are trying to either deny that's happening or make it into something other than what it is, clear racial profiling, possibly tacitly sanctioned?
Also, if you want robots to run the world...
