Hang on, if you don't like your neighbors organizing why don't you move?

>body cameras got the cops arrested.

...no they didn't. A traffic camera controlled by the highway department and out of police's jurisdiction got them arrested.

Body can footage is controlled by the police. They knew they were recording themselves and I guarantee that footage was going to wind up "lost" or "corrupted". That's why they were telling an unconscious man to stop resisting as they beat him to death, because the audio implying a confrontation can exonerate them, so long as contradictory footage isn't made public.

And again: who decides footage is the cops. If they were caught on a private camera, they'd seize and wipe the footage. It was only because the footage belonged to someone they had zero authority over that they thrown under the bus so the department could cover their ass for what is clearly a regular occurence with how casual they acted about it and how they were prepared to fake audio.

They got caught over a technicality. That's it. That is the only reason we know what actually happened. You need to realize how depraved and one-sided policing is. The officers being caught wasn't the system working, it was their system breaking. Beating a man to death in a manner they clearly expected to get away with it was the system working as intended.

>Drastic changes just mean more people dying

Theoretically. And if the changes are done well and stick, deaths will stop.

Allowing things to continue as they will absolutely cause further deaths, continually, until things are drastically changed.

The halfway point between justice and injustice is injustice. Taking half measures is how chattel slavery continued out of the 3/5ths compromise, it's how segregation came out of reconstruction, it's how the prison industrial complex came out of desegregation, etc. Half measures do not work.

How did they get to those positions of power in the first place?

Would the outcome have been the same if a traffic camera hadn't caught them?

How many similar instances have already happened and are going to happen without being caught if things don't change?

If drastic changes aren't made, it will happen again and again and again. The king is dead, long live the king.

Who fixes it? Because the only people with authority to do that are clearly corrupt and malicious as all hell and they're not going to listen to public demands unless they are forced to. And even then, that's not corporation to fix things, that's a Mexican standoff.

They have to be removed from authority. And how do you remove them in a way you wouldn't categorize as "destructive"?

Bud... the world is hurt. Again: a person was beaten to death by authority figures. Is that part of the world worth preserving or destroying?

And how do you lock up authority figures, when they have, you know... authority? Wouldn't they need to be forcibly removed from those positions of power to be held accountable?

Just so we're clear: you're saying a human being being beaten to death by authority figures and destroying "society"(?) and "things" are equivalent?

>official footage is released by police departments

>unbiased footage.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Those two things are mutually exclusive. Footage gets "lost" all of the time or cameras were off "by accident". The only footage they'll have to put up is stuff that helps police narratives or what the police are required to release by outside authorities.

Right. Armies operate with imperialist violence abroad while police are imperialist violence returning to the metropol.

Hey, that reminds of a definition of something, some kind of authoritarian ideology... what was- Oh no!
