Here's what's funny about all this: when Ferguson happened, that one was a shit show because since there was no dashcam video, it was always going to come down to he said/she said (but really he said/they said since the one shot died so only the witnesses).

So of course everybody jumped immediately to one side or the other: the "right" defending the white cop against the black "thug", the "left" angry about somebody allegedly being gunned down as they surrendered. And of course when the verdict came the "right" saw it as vindication and the left as a travesty of justice. But we were never going to really know what happened that day since it wasn't recorded.

In this instance, it was absolutely recorded and there was zero doubt about what happened. So everybody's on the same page, right?

Nope. Even with it put right on tape in front of everybody's faces--indisputable proof--not to mention a blatantly attempted cover-up which was exposed--there was going to be absolutely no acknowledgement of wrongdoing.

Of course we know why: because it doesn't fit The Narrative.

Ferguson was a shit show cause they left his body laying in the street for so long and it inspired outrage. This one is far less divisive but if there was no dashcam it likely wouldn't ever have gained national attention.
