The government doesn't have to give you shit. In Florida, where they have Sunshine laws (a set of laws governing transparency of the government, police, etc), you will get the body cam footage about 100 percent of the time. In other states and especially democrat states, they only readily release that shit when a black gets shot. Even then, it can be tough. The Beetlejuice mayor of Chicago fights like hell to keep bodycam footage of police murders, even blacks, from surfacing.
