Cops seem to feel entitled to steal, to plant evidence, and to murder. How many times has bodycam footage exposed their crimes after the fact?
Even though they aren't usually held accountable to the same degree you or I would be, even when their crimes are indisputable.
It has been demonstrated over and over and over again that cops will lie even when their bodycams are recording.
So why would you ever trust one to be honest without a recording?
I wouldn't. Not ever.
You have to assume that any cop is lying any time he says he did nothing wrong, and any time he accuses someone of anything. Even if he's accusing them of a non-crime such as "resisting arrest" (trying to not be kidnapped) or "assaulting an officer" (fighting off an attacker).
Cops have spent all the credibility they may have once enjoyed. They've made themselves completely untrustworthy by working hard at it for decades. Don't let them play the victim.
