"you seem to be advocating blind trust in state sanctioned violence..." Am I? If so I wouldn't want the cameras.

"unions shield officers from consequences in all but the most severe instances of misconduct." I would hope cameras help prevent this.

I didn't say I blindly side with police. I just notice when cities try to come up with solutions they sometimes make crime worse, especially if its a left leaning city where excuses are made for criminal behavior.

Ultimately, the cities with the biggest crime problems get what they deserve.

Someone who trusts those who commit misdeeds in plain view is even more foolish that someone who trusts those who commits misdeeds in secret. You are encouraging trust, but I simply ask for the police to show that they deserve it. Until then, it is not the cities who deserve their problems, it is the police who deserve theirs.

What a bigoted view on the police.  Swap out the word Hispanic for police in that sentence and see how palatable it is:
