Videos posted to Instagram on Sept. 9 show two San Francisco cops joking about what they’d want a body camera to capture if the officers shot a civilian. According to the videos’ caption, the officers were at Happy Donuts on 24th and Church, apparently unaware they were being filmed by the table behind them. The officers can be heard laughing about their preferred body camera footage: a civilian pointing a gun at them before being shot (thus making a case for self-defense).What the officers wouldn’t want recorded: a civilian surrendering with his or her hands up.The officers go on to say they also wouldn’t want “brain splatter” (or, more colorfully, “cherry pie on the wall”) recorded.SFPD does not currently wear body cameras, although Mayor Lee has said he wants all officers equipped with them and will earmark funding to make that happen.According to a statement released by SFPD, “The videos...appear to show the officers having a conversation about body cameras and what they feel would be important video evidence to capture in the event they were involved in an officer involved shooting. Some of the language used was graphic.”The department has launched an internal investigation and is asking anyone with information about the videos to contact SFPD Internal Affairs at (415) 575-5856.Chief Greg Suhr scheduled a presser at noon to discuss the videos. We’ll update the story as it develops.
