Usually I say St Paul is none of my business, but I hope the investigation goes beyond body cam footage and into who in sppd ordered the escalation. That person should be fired.

Even if it could improve them you won't take the time to properly test them because you're rushing to beat the end of the bubble.
You have no viable business model.
