Every Homeland Security officer on the ground in Minneapolis, including those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will be immediately issued body-worn cameras, Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday, in the latest fallout after the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal agents.
The news of the body cameras comes as Minneapolis has been the site of intense scrutiny over the conduct of federal officers after two U.S. citizens protesting immigration enforcement activities in the city were shot and killed.
It is the latest effort by the Trump administration to alleviate tensions after the shootings and show it is responding to calls for accountability.
Are they going to turn the cameras on?
You already know they won’t, and even if they do, a malfunction will always be the reason the footage was lost, unless it helps them track and arrest protestors.
They all have Grok AI integrated to ensure that they’re Always On™ and that all of the totally real and accurate details of the violent antifa rioters brandishing their automatic assault pistols are enhanced to perfect, crystal-clear HD
I doubt they will even wear them
The problem isn’t lack of evidence, it’s lack of accountability and consequences. Adding another camera on the scene doesn’t fix the issue.
This assholes won’t actually use them correctly and conveniently “lose” the footage when needed, but generally having more cameras does actually help.
Yes the hard part of accountability is the elephant in the room, but I’m just saying, more cameras is always better than less.
We agree, I’m not against more cameras. I just don’t see it changing anything when they’d already voluntarily pull out their personal device to record themselves killing someone.
Really leaning into their snuff films now instead of looking for public views.
Don’t care. Fuck you. Go to prison.
-Dons tinfoil hat-
What if this policy is used to gather visual data to train an AI model to generate false attacks on ICE in one calm area to justify escalation in another hot area?
This would give them free rein to attack a peaceful neighbourhood based on the AI false flag attack and to escalate tensions between peaceful protestors in another part of the city / country.
I thought that’s what they were already doing. They have been caught posting edited images already.
The problem is that even confirmed abuse does not get prosecuted. Adding more evidence won’t help.
Now they got two hands for killing us. Hands free mode.
…and other stupid lies only brain dead bootlickers belive.
Will they be held responsible if they “forgot to switched it on” or “left it in the office” or “accidentally deleted that file”?
Narrator “they turned the cameras off”
Because, you know, we don’t want the cameras to always be on. What if something happened and they need to shoot a sassy mom in the face for driving at less than 5 mile per hour?
Happens every day, that is why our agents fear for their lives. Have YOU ever seen a car going 5 miles an hour? I doubt it, hippy
Body cameras are not to protect the people and are not about accountability. Unmask them all. We will need their identities when we get to the end of all this.
Oh good this will be much better now that these crimes will be heavily recorded. The problem before is we didn’t have multiple angles of the crime recorded or something like a cell phone recording by the ICE agent.
Solar powered.
Now more than ever, people need to be out on the streets, documenting everything these fucks do. Get it on video, from every possible angle. Don’t let them control the narrative.
