That's my big problem...the body cam has been extremely effective when in use. The fact he had it off is a situation where he should be disciplined.
Bennett is highly emotional person who wants to be a flag bearer...I personally don't think anything the cop would have done would have been good enough for him. I would not put it past him to antagonize the police in this situation.
Context matters, this was an active shooter situation? This situation would have been highly charged for both the police and the patrons. This is the statement by the police: "As they moved toward the nightclub, an individual later identified as Bennett was seen crouched down behind a gaming machine as the officers approached," McMahill sald. "Once Bennett was in the officer's view, he quickly ran out the south doors, jumped over a wall onto Flamingo Road East of Las Vegas Boulevard into traffic." Ok if this is the case in an active shooter situation this is extremely suspicious, is it not? Why would he do this, is he simply retarded or high?
When I was twenty I was pulled out of a car with 2 others and was threatened 3 or 4 times that I would be shot if I attempted to run. It was extremely aggressive threat which gun was drawn based most likely on my appearance and the 2'others I was with were never threatened at all. It's simply never bothered me and had a great night.
