Oops. Apparently the local police department has said that the officer who was involved in the interaction with Scheffler either wasn’t wearing his mandated body cam or didn’t activate it.I generally don't trust anything that comes after "the local police department has said..."
Which is a large part of why body cameras were needed in the first place.
If I'm the prosecutor, I'm dropping these charges the second I hear, "Well, I didn't have it turned on..." unless there is video from some other source.
The charges are for sure going to get dropped. More eyewitness accounts lend credibility to the idea that the police officer was...overly enthusiastic.
