THE CASE FOR TRANSPARENCY
Transparency is the mandatory foundation of community trust. The MURDER of Branden Chindavong by Washington State law enforcement remains a critical investigative priority that only unedited bodycam footage can resolve. The media plays a significant role in shaping public perception of law enforcement. When footage is released, it can be interpreted in various ways, leading to potential backlash against officers or departments. This fear of negative publicity deters agencies from releasing footage promptly.
