    Anyone that would be that stupid to pull that act has got to be an idiot … and to know that all of it was being actively recorded on a body camera that could be accessed and requested later on … this has got to be the dumbest idiot in a uniform to date.

      They’ve had decades if not centuries of cover, even since the introduction of bodycams. Actual scrutiny is new and rare, and they often seem not to care that they are being recorded. I think they are semi-consciously sure no one will care enough to look at the footage.
