Police first claimed a knife was recovered Sunday but reversed course Monday, saying they were searching for a man seen taking the weapon from the scene.
I am sure we will learn that the body cams malfunctioned or were turned off next.
I don't want to say "I will eat my shoe" the cams were actually on and working and the evidence makes it to trial. You guys might demand evidence that ate my shoe. But I'm 99.9% of the way to saying - I will eat my shoe if that happens. My money is that the NYPD will use another trick. The cams were working but somehow the footage later got corrupted. Gee, I wonder how that happened! Like in the movie "The Big Easy" the cops sneak a powerful magnet into the evidence room and they put it right next to something (a VCR? I don't remember) that has recorded evidence that was damning and damaging to a cop who is going on trial. The evidence is erased and the charges against the cop are dropped.
