"Text was never trustworthy."

Lincoln was a smart man
Ahead of his time too:

Truly one of the wisest men to ever live
But up until this point, you see, there has always been one medium that is difficult/expensive enough to convincingly fake that it can reasonably be used as proof that something actually happened. If technology advances to the point where a video of something happening is no more convincing than a text description that it happened, and no other more sophisticated, harder-to-fake medium steps in to replace it...
I don't want to live in a world where the truth is anything you can convince your friends of, you feel me?
"Up until this point" meaning maybe eighty years where unexpected events had any chance of being on film or televised, and several decades where amateur video was even theoretically possible.
And solid corroborating evidence still barely moved the needle whenever it was footage of cops trying to kill someone.
And what's going to make bodycams necessary regardless is chain-of-custody demonstrating (a) the footage matching what the victims said absolutely came from the camera strapped to the chest of the accused, or (b) some motherfucker orchestrated a cover-up that demonstrates consciousness of guilt.
