Body-camera footage released by the Fontana Police Department shows an officer being put in a headlock during a traffic stop in Yucaipa by a man whom authorities have identified as Alan Metka.
Seconds later, a shout rang out: “He’s got a gun!”
Well yeah, they didn’t have to go to the writers room to come up with a narrative, or dig through his rap sheet to see if he ever looked at a marijuana.
I forget what video it was where the cop pulls the old “oh you’re recording? So am I.” routine and the guy instantly responds “yeah, but my recordings don’t magically disappear” 😂
Funny how it’s out the next day when it exonerates the cop of any wrongdoing. That’s why I assume the worst when they don’t release immediately. Oversight is good for everyone, including police.
When cops shot a hostage in California it took them 2 years to release it. I think that was their point, footage is released quickly when the cops are in the right, it suddenly becomes a problem if it makes them look bad.

It’s just digital files, any police department can release body cam footage quickly. They just don’t want to.
I think that was the point he was trying to make

I just assume malicious intent in those cases. Not sure I’ve ever been wrong.
