    Before video evidence became a thing, almost 0% of police brutality would face any consequences. With video, its now non-zero, should be ideally at 100%, but getting the statistic away from 0% is a great start. The murderer or George Floyd would’ve walked away without video evidence. When there’s more cameras, the odds of punishment is better than without cameras.

      That’s a fair point, I’m just skeptical how much of a difference a new tech gadget can make on systemic issues.
