Was it:
I personally don't follow the logic of the document for how that could lead to civil rights violations.
OR
But the real moral of that story is that even a body-cam may not show the complete story. That is easily argued in court.
And likewise, police should be trained to remember that and not to rely on the body-cam to dictate their report... Simple enough.
Note the words "rely on" and "dictate". Those words have meaning.

Did I say it should be discouraged?

In the notebook situation, it's the officer's own words and thoughts.
For most of the time, I would think the video would be good as well.
The video in the article is somewhat crap to me because it only shows part of the time of the incident. The wall mounted camera shows more time coverage than what the body-cam shows...

I'll take strawman arguments for $1,000 Alex?
Or maybe I should respond by saying that the resistance to the body cams by the right was to allow LEO to continue to kill black people without evidence...
See? I can throw out dumb stereo-types too!
But in all seriousness,
re-read the article and ask yourself
HOW MANY liberals are actually being talked about here...
Have you ever heard of
Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights before today? I haven't...
If you actually read the actual report, you'll see that not only was the group
NOT talking about removing body-cams, they also never called them "racist" like the article claimed.
Instead of being mad at liberals for some made-up b.s., you should question what idiot wrote an article with a title saying "Liberals Now Say They’re Racist"
and nowhere in the article is this even hinted at...

Agreed.
