being good at using bodycams is damning if there is no footage.

  I don't follow, or maybe I was unclear. I think LAPD is good about following their body cam policy in situations where they're required to use body cams (like when driving around town). Even in cases where the video makes LAPD look criminally bad (like the situation a year or two ago where a cop beat someone up in Boyle Heights for calling him names), the video doesn't "go missing" or "experience file corruption" or anything like that. However that doesn't imply anything about situations where they aren't required to use body cams.

    If i am a cop going to commit murder, i'm going to turn my body cam off. If my body cam is off, this is one of the possible explanations. If there are fewer other explanations for my body cam being off, then it is more likely that it was because i was committing murder than in the other case
