    Meade was not wearing a body camera at the time, so there is no video evidence of the shooting.

    Straight. To. Jail.

      The law needs to be if they don’t have their bodycam on and operating, they aren’t a cop at that moment. Anything they do without it recording is their actions as an individual citizen and therefore not protected as the actions of a law enforcement official. Of course there is a litany of other reforms which need to happen as well, but I feel like this would be a simple but major one.
