Seriously dude stop and think. If the dashcam was on where would it be pointed? Where, in relation to the officers' vehicle, was the woman shot? These are questions you should ask yourself.
So now youre saying there is video, but its only useful because of the audio?
Did you miss the part where the article said there was no video?

It kind of sounds like a mis fire. Maybe she was talking to the driver cop relaying information and the passenger cop was checking his weapon getting ready to exit the vehicle and start investigating when the pistol went off.
Not sure why this comment was met with such scorn. Why would the officer in the passenger's seat intentionally shoot across his partner through the door if she was standing at an open window? Has it been reported where she was hit? That's not meant to excuse the officer's actions.
And, I wouldn't expect body cameras the be active inside the vehicle. They would mostly just record the dash board and there are already recording devices attached to the vehicle.
Maybe it takes an international incident to get some police tactic reform and stop the 'shoot first' mentality that has seemingly become SOP.

How do you know there is not? Because a newspaper said there is no video. You are assuming that they mean any video (time stamped audio), I assume they mean video of the actual altercation where it shows the woman getting shot. Do You see my point.

You do realize, the default is for them to be off, and the officer has to manually turn it on, right?
Yes. I believe that is also the same for his car, flashlight, and taser. He cannot use any of them if he does not turn them on.
My truck works the same way but it is not military grade.

What the frick? There has to be more to that story.
How many direct interactions with citizens do police around the country have each day? Maybe hundreds of thousands? There will be mistakes made in that many interactions and some of those mistakes will be the result of an officer doing something stupid or careless. It's Math + Human Nature.

Do you think that cops should 100% of the time be able to know and anticipate when an issue is going to arise?
I feel like they should turn the cameras on immediately upon responding to a call.

Why not turn it on at the beginning of every interaction with people before they ever get out the car

He should have turned it on.
Especially if what that one poster quoted as per Minnesota law/policy that states when they should turn them on.
It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback, but there aren't enough facts for us to make that determination with 100% accuracy.

Seems like a few are arguing on what they think should happened but they're extrapolating what they think and magically making that the actual policy, which it isn't.

I read on one news outlet that she investigated a disturbance in an alley. When doing so she brought a knife with her. She called the police and when they showed up she approached the car with the knife in her hand and the officer shot her...who know though...

Sounds awful, but I'm having a hard time understanding a scenario where a police officer just shoots a person who called them for help because they were standing by their door. Especially when the other officer is between the person and the gun.
Not saying it was justified but the way the story's been presented, she just walked up to talk and the officer murdered her in cold blood.
Unless the officer was mentally ill or intoxicated.

His camera was off. They arrive on scene. He should have turned it on just prior to arrival. That should be protocol. The fact that he did not should be a fireable offense.
I realize the concept of "should" applies here.
We need SEVERE changes to police tactics and protocols in regards to body cameras.
For God's sake man. Hold the police to at least some standard.
