Cops would claim they were having car problems and police car hoods were opened to obstruct the camera view. Body cams would “fall out of place” at certain times. Sometimes it was legit being knocked out of place during a struggle other times cops would do it on purpose. By stander cams can tell different stories from different angles. So video evidence can have its problems, with surveillance videos it gets even stickier, video that convicted someone was used later to get them off on appeal when closer scrutiny was payed to it and it was found the dude in the video was taller than suspect. No one had compared size prior with measurements from known objects in the video. Then you have creative editing and other abuses of surveillance cams. These issues don’t come into play with the psycho cop, merely saying while video evidence can be good, it has had its issues.
it is strange he would continue while he was being filmed. if he wanted to kill george it could have been done out of sight & an excuse made up. no need to risk his pension. he didn't have his hand in his pocket the whole time. he is wearing black gloves so it is hard to see. he also has a knee pad on & a z shaped bar can be seen in that knee thigh area. we never get a complete video of these events & some of the quality is questionable. the guy recording from the side where we see the three cops on top stops recording & we never see those on the sidewalk filming in that footage. anyone know why the emf guys are wearing vests? & why the cop kept his knee on george after the emf guy checked his pulse? & why emergency protocols weren't followed
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
