#ferguson where is the video?

Per­haps were a lit­tle dis­trust­ful of the police after all most of the time we asso­ciate them with finan­cial loss.

Right now there are thou­sands of videos online from police cars that have video cam­eras installed, in fact just about ever sin­gle police car in every town of any size has these because lia­bil­i­ty insur­ance for police has increased at such a rate that they can­not afford to be with­out it.

So, this leaves the huge ques­tion, where is the video from the police dash cam and the inte­ri­or video cam­era footage and video?

Where are these videos?

Wait, what they are say­ing is that there were no videos because they did not have the mon­ey to put in the video cam­eras?

Is that not evi­dence that some­thing is very wrong in this town? 

No mod­ern police force should fail to use video in its police cruis­ers, sim­ply because of the tremen­dous finan­cial bur­den of not using them.

In the end of this sit­u­a­tion the city of Fer­gu­son will spend mil­lions and mil­lions of dol­lars in attor­ney fees.

They will spend mil­lions and mil­lions of dol­lars at some point when they get sued for wrong­ful death, (per­haps even if the offi­cer were only defend­ing his life or so he may have thought)

But he will nev­er be able to prove that because there was no video.

There was no video because the police say that they could not afford to pay the $3000 plus equip­ment costs for video in their 18 police cars.

How sil­ly and igno­rant is that now in light of the issues that occurred?

Con­sid­er­ing that Amer­i­ca saw on dis­play mil­i­tary hard­ware wor­thy of many third world banana repub­lic police states.

So they had plen­ty of mon­ey to buy mil­i­tary style gear but not enough mon­ey to get video in police cars?

That should be some­thing that real­ly makes you won­der.

So in real­i­ty, most of the time police are just your aver­age high­way rob­ber. 

In the most com­mon aspect of a police encounter, it usu­al­ly involves your wal­let.

Speed­ing is the num­ber one way that most peo­ple encounter the police, usu­al­ly your heart is beat­ing fast and its no won­der, your about to get robbed, you should be afraid.

We know that it is impor­tant to reduce speed­ers on the road and that it can save lives, but is the sys­tem of finan­cial­ly pun­ish­ing speed­ers real­ly effec­tive?

Per­haps not.
