officer indicted over an arrest body cam footage released after 8+ months of public backlash, Genuinely curious what others think
This footage was just released after 255 days of controversy and public backlash against the officer involved. I'd like honest takes from people without a stake in it especially anyone with law enforcement, legal, or use-of-force training background.
My take: she should have complied. I got dogpiled on Facebook for saying that, so I'm genuinely open to having my mind changed. Everyone was able to form their opinion before the video was ever publicly release because the police chief apologizes about the incident. After seeing the video footage, My only conclusion is that this make's it harder for officers to do their job without constantly second-guessing themselves.
Edit: context update Sorry it said that the post got removed automatically so I thought it never went up.
Afterwards I did more research myself and found out her mother is a police chief in another town so i understand now why the pressure is harder news
