WASHINGTON, D.C. — As national discourse continued to be centered around highly publicized violent crimes perpetrated on innocent victims, Democrats warned that surveillance videos perpetuate stereotypes by accurately depicting events.

A series of shocking incidents caught on various surveillance cameras brought the increase in violent crime to the public's attention, causing prominent members of the Democratic Party to push for the removal of security cameras, as they tend to portray violent criminals as violent criminals.

"It's wrong for these cameras to show things as they really are," said Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett. "With all these cameras everywhere, it's gettin' really hard to spin some crazy stories to create false narratives to fit our agendas, ya'll. For real. With videos goin' viral on social media, showing events as they actually happened, it perpetuates all those negative stereotypes. I'm not even playin'."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries agreed that the continued use of surveillance video could lead to too many people being informed about what actually happens. "This is a dangerous and slippery slope," he told reporters. "If too many people know the truth about things that happen, it becomes far more difficult to feed them misinformation to shift public opinion in a direction that would be more favorable to our side. Showing violent criminals being violent criminals could lead to people thinking violent criminals are all violent criminals. That's something we can't have."

At publishing time, activists who had pushed for law enforcement agencies to adopt officer bodycams had organized a protest to demand that law enforcement agencies stop using officer bodycams.
