This shows their true intention. It was never about reducing police brutality. Body cams lead to a fall in complaints against the police, perhaps by a change in police behavior. Something which should be cheered by everyone. Hovewer, body cams also lead to a lower conviction rate for police officers, exposing a lot of the allegations against them to be frivolous. Instead of proving police officers to use excess force it showed in alot of cases that the alleged victims of police brutality were in fact completely self to blame. Obviously, that cannot continue to happen. They need their boogey man (police) or else they themselves would be the bad guys. In addition, footage from body cams disprove the narrative of the ongoing riots being 'peaceful', another reason why they want them banned.
