There is something wrong with the police in America. They have been trained to shoot if they perceive ANY threat of danger (no matter how small) to themselves. The purpose of the training is to make sure the cops make it home safely at the end of every shift.
Cops in other nations have much more patience. It could very well be that there is less danger in other countries. IN America everybody is armed. Cops assume any encounter has to do with armed people. This is not about racism; this is about very poor training.

Yes, they are all employed by the same city. That is not important. What is important is that this civilian oversight group is not employed by the police.
And yes, the bodycams are needed in order to collect data since the police are often not required to do so.

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.
