There's no logic in that since incidents are rarely 90 seconds long.
Sounds like the left is looking for ways to get around them being seen
in their illegal behavior.

Yup sure sounds that way to me too. ("me too" - pun intended)

Sorry about the late response - puter's been in the shop for a week
due to something that turned out to be a problem with the cable from
street to router <sigh>

If you can you definitely have my respect :)

You'd be allowed to keep if off by hitting it every 90 seconds (...which >would indicate continued intention).

Didn't mean to be impertinent but I'd be highly surprised if there has
ever been an officer who has NEVER visited the loo while on duty.

Obviously this isn't something you engage them in conversation about
:)

Few bathroom activities fully occupy both hands for a whole minute.

Googling tells me only that Dems (Mar 24) *want* the bodycams (that
Biden ordered for *all* govt. cops). Got a cite of the "backtracking"?

Pardon my ignorance but what's the benefit of requiring officers to
wear switched off body cameras?

Maintaining the narrative that cops are racists.
It's not helpfull when it shows the so-called
"victims" deserved what happened to them.

Since we're talking police officers I'm assuming you're talking ONLY
about things you'd do away from home.

(For instance I routinely use both my hands for a whole minute or more
both while in the shower and while drying myself afterwards. Needless
to say those times are not about "public service"!)

True but then it didn't seem to hurt both Rodney King and George Floyd
both of whom were desperately nasty people who got treated very badly
by police in rough situations. In the end both were portrayed as
heroes which they definitely were not even though how they were
described by police may or may not have made them "victims".

And no question their deaths built the 'narrative' that all cops
(including black cops) were violent nasty people. (Speaking for myself
the ONLY time I've ever been nervous about an individual cop was an
Asian cop who had clearly spent time in a martial arts gym who in
retrospect must have been having a tough day. Ditto paramedics like
the pair who came to our home the night 4 years ago where my wife was
passed out in her computer chair and they weren't able to revive her
so they rather brusquely called for a body bag (which they had in the ambulance). That was a tough night all over

Yes, even though we call it a *bath*room, I'm excluding activities
related to prolonged immersion...
