Last night, the candidates for Vice President had a minutes-long discussion about community policing and implicit bias. To say that nothing individual incidents had no effect is to miss the forest for the trees.
Eric Garner's death certainly had an impact across the country - but one place where it didn't was the NYPD.
This is precisely why we can't have both. I have the feeling that body cameras are used as a smoke-and-mirror diversion, by organizations that aren't committed to change.
