All over the country, innocent men and women are being murdered by police, a predominant number of whom are black. And every time, police walk free, many without even a trial or even a punishment. This is because the police departments claim a different set of events than eyewitnesses and say that other evidence is false.
This petition is to force all law enforcement officers to wear body cameras. These cameras need to be on at all times while the officers are on duty, and the videos need to be publicly available when officers shoot or otherwise seriously harm someone. If no video is available, the officer needs to be charged with the appropriate crime, assault or murder.
This petition is to ensure the safety of all people and ensure that officers uphold the law as they are supposed to.
