The Snark posted:People do have a point when they say body cameras hardly matter if, when what is effectively a murder is caught on camera, the responsible parties are not made to answer. Eric Garner's death calls for greater reforms than that, it calls for an inquiry as to WHY his killer(s) were not indited and into all of the errors that led to this tragedy. It's one of the most valid causes for protest I have seen in some time. This isn't the point of cameras and I don't understand why people keep trying to claim that cameras are the answer all on their own. The first step to solving any problem is to understand and gather evidence that the problem exists in the first place. Run a bottling plant that underfills the bottles? How do you know? You measure the amount being poured into the bottles and then you take actions to fix it. Have a police department that indiscriminately kills people? How do you know? You film the cops and then take actions to fix it. Cameras are really no different than rulers or scales. So yes, cameras do matter even if they don't fix the problem all on their own.
