Here's another one to add to the list of hare-brained ideas coming out of the Democratic party -- a New York senator wants to require that video cameras be installed on cop handguns -- as if video down the sights at the moment of the trigger pull will explain why a cop shoots someone. I can't imagine the cop union embracing this one. I can only imagine a jury looking at frame-by-frame analysis of the shooting devoid of context: "See? As you can tell, after a heated chase down a dark alley, the victim was holding out his cel phone to the police officer. Obviously, he was unarmed and this shooting was unjustified."

I shouldn't laugh, that may just be a proposition soon. Afterall, I never thought I's see the day when a major police department like the LAPD would be banned from carrying and using large maglites or any other flashlight that could be used as a deadly weapon. They now have adopted a way over priced Pelican light that I'm sure is costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of $$$. If they don't trust cops with something as useful as a large flashlight, then what will they not trust us with??
