Someone start a go fund me for these coppers! They have insufficient equipment! Better yet pass a law that all costs of self surveillance be taken from their salary. Why should we pay for a baby sitter?
Because Children matter more than cameras, otherwise, people would be donating money to buy cameras not Christmas Gifts for kids and their families.
This is done through donations, not tax dollars.
Why the cops are there shopping with kids to project a positive image, they should pick up some Go Pro. Body Cameras so they can be trusted once again.
