The Spin

Left narrative

Body cameras won't restore trust when the White House openly releases doctored images of ICE arrests and calls them memes. Federal visual evidence has become worthless for accountability now that digital manipulation is normalized. Body cameras need policies to ensure accountability — require recording all interactions, get officer statements before video review, and release footage transparently.

Right narrative

Body cameras expose the full truth when protesters attack federal vehicles and obstruct lawful ICE operations targeting criminal violators. Cameras capture agitators swarming officers mid-mission, proving these aren't peaceful dissenters but individuals fomenting social instability. When facts are on camera, activist spin collapses completely.
