It's getting to the point where all American police officers will one day be required to wear headcams at all times, as mandated by City insurers and attorneys, just to defend themselves and their actions against the endless litigation brought forth by politically-motivated and usually racist 'activists'. 

When hysterical and agenda-driven activists can take video, edit it out of context, and then endlessly replay it on national TV with the enthusiastic support and complicity of an adoring Leftist media 'culture'; and when this has the effect of swaying juries against law enforcement, police will soon have no choice in the matter if their side is to be given any credence in today's rabidly litigious and nonsensical environment.

Never happen, they pay out enough in lawsuits as it is now, and that's with disappearing dash cam videos. They'd have to start hiring people with more than a high school diploma.
