Without bodycam footage, this 18 year old would have spent the rest of his life in jail

Is this real? Are US police officers that stupid to do with a body camera on. Police officer should go to jail for those accusations if it's real

And to imagine we only had good body-cams on Police officers maybe the last 15 years max.

The horrors that has been going on before then. How many totally innocent people in jail just because petty powertripping police officers.

It is truly horrific to think about. 😢

Third world country in a Gucci belt.

Officer needs to go to jail for false accusations! They need to be held accountable!

America can't train their police properly with all that wealth

They did this out because that young man was black and they might block me again for saying this, but this is not good. This is racial discrimination.

ACAB

I hope that kid gets ALL their money and I hope the cop gets fired and goes to jail!!!

Body cameras get sold to us as “accountability,” but Dailen Brewer’s case shows how easily one can become the only thing standing between an innocent 18-year-old and decades in prison. On April 12, 2026, Indianapolis police Sgt. Robyn Frazier accused Brewer of pointing a revolver at her, and an attempted-murder allegation followed. In Indiana, attempted murder is a Level 1 felony carrying 20 to 40 years.

Four days later, the case fell apart after prosecutors reviewed the bodycam and concluded the video did not support the allegations in the probable-cause affidavit. Brewer had already spent four days in jail, lost his job and had his mugshot and the police version of events blasted across the news. IMPD even publicly praised its officers for their “professionalism” while repeating the accusation that Brewer had tried to fire a gun at Frazier.

Think about what happens if that camera isn’t there. You have an 18-year-old Black kid saying he never pointed a gun against the sworn word of a 17-year police veteran, backed by her department and repeated by the media. Brewer is now suing Frazier and the City of Indianapolis for alleged fabrication of evidence, false arrest, malicious prosecution, false imprisonment and defamation. I could not find any public record showing that Frazier has been criminally charged over the affidavit.

People love saying “just comply” as though compliance protects you from whatever gets written in the police report afterward. Dailen Brewer complied and still came frighteningly close to having decades of his life taken from him. The fucking camera was the witness they couldn’t intimidate.
