In a part of debate over precisely what happened in a specific occurrence, video is significant. That’s come up in numerous intelligent with police in specific, and that’s driven to a parcel of arrangements ordering sprint cameras and body-worn cameras.
Be that as it may, those bodycams as it were work on the off chance that they’re worn and turned on. And as per Louisville leader Craig Greenberg’s comments Saturday, the city has not been able to get film from any bodycam from Louisville Metro Police Division criminologist Bryan Gillis around his controversial arrest of world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler Friday:

A body camera would have been exceptionally valuable in figuring out who was telling the truth around this occurrence. It certainly was in the case of Toronto Raptors’ GM Masai Ujiri’s run-in with an Alameda District sheriff’s appointee in 2019. But perhaps the settled camera film will be sufficient to set up what happened here.
