No.

He kept the kill-anyone-I-see-on-patrol attitude in until SHIII :D

i didnt say a large majority. I said there are many, not necessarily as in most or even close to most. And i wasnt demonizing law enforcement as a whole. The actions of the comparatively few do not represent law enforcement as a whole.

Living in Los Angeles County, it was far too often youd hear a story about a cop shooting a man without enough warrant, such as a man who was holding a garden nozzle and was shot 12 times to death because they completely misidentified it as a gun. According to the D.A the officers took cover but did not identify themselves nor ordered him to drop his perceived weapon. This is one of the many cases in which a recording would've put the entire thing in perspective with unbiased justice to see if he was acting in a way that warranted anything like this.

Someone who has that kind of authority to take someone's life and/or liberties are in a helluva position. I don't see the problem with recording them. As i said before, if they are doing their job then they have absolutely nothing to fear, and it gives them more credit when they handle their job lawfully, skillfully and professionally. i dont see how this article could be demonizing to law enforcement, seeing as how most likely alot of the video we'd end up seeing (or at least being recorded) would be of officers doing their job. It is when officers horribly mishandle a situation that it should be brought to light and the article is about intelligently and lawfully upholding your right to do so.
