Many people are familiar with the horrific case of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones, who was shot & killed by Detroit police in a raid of her family's home.
Fewer are aware that the cops who killed her were accompanied by a camera crew from The First 48. theappeal.org/media-frame-ti…

People need to understand that the police killing of Javier Ambler, after a high-speed chase filmed by @OfficialLivePD, which thankfully has led to that show been cancelled, is not an isolated incident. palmbeachpost.com/zz/news/202006…
Police engaged Mr. Ambler in a high-speed pursuit for more than 20 minutes because they say he failed to dim the headlights of his SUV to oncoming traffic. statesman.com/news/20200609/…
After sheriff's deputies forced him from his car, they held Mr. Ambler down on the ground and tased him four times, while a crew from LivePD watched and filmed.
Mr. Ambler told them he couldn't breathe. They tased him again and he died.
LivePD then destroyed that footage.

The show's culpability is greater than that tho.
Question whether those sheriff's deputies would have engaged in a high speed chase, but for the LivePD cameras accompanying them, especially for someone not dimming their headlights to oncoming traffic.

Maybe. We know police kill Black people after engaging them in high speed pursuits for the most minor of traffic infractions without cameras rolling.
But maybe having the LivePD crew with them made these cops more inclined to give chase, more inclined to perform for the cameras.

And we won't really know, because we don't have the footage, because they destroyed it, with some BS excuses from @danabrams, who produces the show. lawandcrime.com/important/with…
Oh and if you want to boycott anything, let me suggest all of the reality law and order television produced by
@danabrams on @lawcrimenews @LawCrimeNetwork. Also @Mediaite.
And yes, Mr. Abrams, those of us critical of your show, have indeed watched it.

Also, @ABC, I don't know how @danabrams got to be your chief legal analyst, but given his morally reprehensible and legally problematic decision to destroy the LivePD footage of police killing Javier Ambler, I think you need to fire him, LIKE NOW.
