> It would seem to me that after an incident like this, all cops would want to wear their body cameras, and make sure that they are on all the time, so that they can have an objective witness to what transpired. I’ve not watched the video, but assuming the article is accurate, it seems she had a different impression of the encounter.

You don’t get it. Just because the video shows the cop being completely professional doesn’t prove _anything_ - he probably pulled her out of the car, beat the crap out of her, and _then_ turned the camera on.
