I'm 100% for cameras. Police have no expectation of privacy on the job. None, zero, zilch - the second they punch in every morning, they cease being private citizens and become government (and trusted with a lot of power over citizens WITH rights).

Seems to me that with a bodycam, Ferguson would have never blown up.
Seems to me Michael Brown: could have paid for his cigars.
could have kept his hands off the little shop keeper.
could have walked on the sidewalk like most people.
could have followed the police officer's request that he get on the sidewalk.
could have not reached inside the police car to get the officier's gun.
could have complied with the police officier's many commands to stop and surrender.
could have not verbally and physically threatened the police officer.

That is not a funny or appropriate statement under any circumstances anywhere anyhow.
I'm glad the PP said it. It's never appropriate to constantly accuse people of racism either. Sick of it. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

BTW, you anonymity on this board in only one of Jeff's clicks away from disappearing.
I don't recall anyone making a specific threat, i.e. I'm going to kill you with this bullet. That would be considered a threat.
I had someone tell me on Twitter, they hope I die. It's not the same as "I'm going to kill you".
I will agree that the threat is not as clear or direct as the example you provided.
Whether it is an actionable threat, however, is up to:
1) the Supreme Court and,
2) the criminal prosecutors interpreting that ruling as it applies to existing law

If you were the white police chief in that town at this point, you would say the same thing. What are the odds of more violence at the mere suggestion?
Screw that. If there was a white-on-black hate crime, he wouldn't sweep it under the rug in order to "avoid more violence".

So you think that death is appropriate for expressing opinions. What a fantastic representative of Conservatism.
