I've had someone let themselves into my house while I slept and steal my adhd medication, I've been hunted over the course of several hours by a gang of young men who were beating me up to let me run to chase me over and over again before being left to die in a gutter (saved by a cab driver, 1 person of several hundred who drove by), I've been held hostage as part of a shakedown, I've been mugged at knife point.

I'm not unfamiliar with being a victim of a crime, it sucks. The fear doesn't go away just because someone gets caught later on. There is no world in which catching someone bolting with a handbag/laptop/whatever is worth not having body cam footage because of situations like this. If you want police to actually stop crimes from happening in the first place in dangerous areas then I put to you that a marked car and uniformed officers wearing cameras would be far more effective.

They executed someone in their backyard for no reason and there is no evidence. This is literally the most terrible sort of crime that can happen and there is no fucking evidence because this chud was more concerned with being a hero (allegedly, of course maybe he wanted no evidence while he murdered someone). There is no excuse.
