once again, they want you to ask for body cams. body cams are their fucking idea. it's not a limit on their power at all, it's money for cops and more ways to surveil.
It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

The passage of the Laken Riley Act was immensely harmful, and Democrats are acting as if they had nothing to do with the current situation. Maybe some Democrats should have thought about this very moment when they voted to pass it.
