They have body cams don't they? If they just shoot a suspect and the body cam suggests no threat to the officer's life, they're in trouble.

- thephyber 2y ago“They’re in trouble” Did you not understand my post, or do you not believe my claim? The objective facts (as established by a body cam) matter very little, only a good faith belief that “I feared for my life or the life of someone in the public”. Why? The burden of proof is “Innocent until proven guilty” and like I said, the onus is on the prosecution to prove that the officer’s statement that “they feared for their life” was a lie at the time of the incident. That’s extremely difficult to prove, especially when an officer has been on the job for a while and has been conditioned to use the right words to CYA.
