The videos will speak for themselves. There is no reason to believe a word of police reports where there is video [/quote]

By and large, I think body cams have helped police more than they harmed them. No idea what this one will show, but suspects are very often not honest, and police have given people reason not to trust them. Video isn't always reliable since it doesn't always provide the context we'd like. But it's better than nothing. [/quote]

If the cop is shown beating someone on the ground, there is no context to justify it [/quote]

Here it's a little more ambiguous. Cop is on top of the man. Cop's forearm goes from the guy's chin to throat to chest and back as the guy is moving under him. Not clear how much pressure is being applied. So, not a beating. Maybe a choke, but that's not entirely clear. [/quote]

They never needed to come into physical contact. There was no arrest and no reasonable suspicion. By the time they ended up in the ground the cop already f’d up.[/quote]

We can't possibly make that conclusion based on the video we have so far. Also, there was an arrest. From the student newspaper article, it sounds like the police arrested him for resisting efforts to separate the witnesses so the officer could conduct his investigation. Cop still could've f'd up, but we really don't know yet. [/quote]
