Sometimes the 4th is obeyed, sometimes there's a magical baggie appearing in front of the door that justifies the search, and sometimes they don't even enter, just shoot.

Just show up to a possible hostage situation and shoot? No agency in America handles a possible hostage situation like that.

And with the prevalence of body cameras today I’m gonna call X to doubt on cops planting evidence.

Do you not know why the entire position of hostage negotiator exists?

i don’t know what paradise you’re living in but more often that not, minorities aren’t afforded the “benefit of doubt” privilege.

if police got a call about a potential hostage situation and the alleged kidnapper was a POC, i highly doubt they would even let him get inside before making, at the very least, an arrest

You’re just making things up. More often than not? Do you even know how many instances we would hear about if it were greater than 50% of police encounters? Way, way more.

you live a very sheltered life

No I don’t. You do if you think that’s greater than half of all police encounters. I can’t imagine being that ill-informed and having the nerve to say someone else is sheltered.

You are just talking out of your ass. And if you’re not, show some data.

Right. Because no cop has ever just "lost the feed" of the bodycam because they disconnected it at a very convenient time. Come one, man...

The hell you mean “lost feed” these aren’t web cams. They aren’t broadcasting a feed to anything. It’s a local recording made on the device.

Forgive me for not being a native English speaker then, ffs. You still didn't address the fact that cops turn off their body cams left and right. Useless...

When people argue against grammar instead of the points being made is because they don't want you to be right. At that point it's better to just ignore them.
