RT @TaliaForScience: @robferdman @shaunking I would say I spent more of my time watching body cameras than anything else this summer. I felt the need to learn and guess what, the police are corrupt. They’re so corrupt and will do anything to protect another cop. The don’t understand that people matter more than they do. 🇺🇸
