Back in 2012, my takes on the Michael Brown murder were completely off. I apologized for them here on the blog in 2019. This is not an excuse but I sincerely couldn’t believe Brown would lunge at an armed police officer. I feel stupid now but even Matt Walsh recognized recently that he found it hard to believe back then.
After seeing all of the dashcam footage of many such cases, we now all know that it does happen. It’s been eye-opening for many people. Almost weekly, there are cases where we can see footage of exactly this kind of thing happening. We should all be grateful that now police are equipped with cameras and we’ve become immune to the Michael Brown type of hoaxes.

You would be stupid if you didn’t change your mind, but you did.

It’s the realization that I was so massively duped on so many issues that propelled me to the Right. We have many problems on the Right but we don’t exist in a state of hostility to reality.

lol police cams are the biggest self-goal that progressives have taken in a long time. Notice how they’ve all gone quiet about it.

I dunno about progressives, but they’ve been fantastic for good cops, and also a big win for the small segment of the population who legit had problems with harassment by cops, so… yay technology. Some years back, thanks to bodycams, we had a case in a neighboring county that wound up overturning about a hundred charges in arrests made by *the same cop* because it was found that for sure he had planted drugs on at least a few of them (and dozens of them had made that claim, but nobody believes you if you’re poor, drive a junky car, or have previous drugs on your record). There are always rumors of that, but it’s a lot harder to get away with when you can pore over the bodycam footage later. Cop was arrested, too.
