But among the few dissenters was Malkia Cyril, executive director of the Center for Media Justice and a leader in the Black Lives Matter network, who warned early and often that the cameras could become tools of surveillance against people of color because “body-worn cameras don’t watch the police, they watch the community being policed, people like me”.

How do people come up with these twisted lies and say that it's the truth?

Amazon has been marketing and selling facial recognition software, called Amazon Rekognition, to law enforcement agencies.

What, Amazon can't make its own product and sell it?

exactly the outcome Cyril feared.

That's not what he feared. What he feared was being held accountable.

Let's put it another way: police cameras protect police from violent offenders, offering testimony on the behalf of an injured or deceased officer. Why would anyone want to remove that protection from police? The spin goes both ways.
