if you regardless, again, we need to see what happened, before we can determine what the outcome should be, who was right, who was wrong. or whatever the particulars are, in these situations. right or wrong. i think that, you have to be right. look. it is way-past time, where body cameras are an option. they re, like, a luxury item on a vehicle. no. they re a must. we re past that phase. there is no more debate. you know, in the beginning, there was debate. well, you know, it might skew the that s over. trust is transparency. now, this case, to me, feels like ahmaud arbery, on the local level. and they just removed it to the state level, in north carolina. to the state, right. now, that s good. we saw that with george floyd, in minnesota. but it s, also, not good. are you going to have to do this every time? that s right. you got to be able to handle it on the local level. and this is this is a bad suggestion. and it s bad for the police, on the local le ....
