As in so much 'reporting' today, and as you describe very well, the 'balanced point of view' is missing! The 'agenda' sticks out like a sore thumb...

I have heard of instances when the officer(s) have turned off the cam!

I agree.  Stand still and face the music.  You have a better chance if you are innocent to walk away then if you turn and run escalating the circumstances.

I haven't seen the video of North Carolina.  So I can't give my opinion. 

Ferguson is still undergoing major changes.  They were supposed to demonstrate or riot again on the 14th but since I don't watch the news and haven't been on fb much this week I can't say whether that happened or not.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the body camera debate.

Strattie...well, after I screwed up and hit enter in the subject line, I then entered a two paragraph comment, agreeing soooo much with you, lightening struck somewhere around here and I didn't have a chance to add it before everything went off in the house and I'm not going to chance retyping everything I said because thing are still squirrely but didnt want to chance leaving everything hanging so long like I did!! So, for now, just know I thing this is your usual excellent....totally common sense....column!x4
