Jay Z has an answer to police brutality and it’s not body cameras.
It’s compassion.
“If you have compassion for somebody’s plight, things that they go through — we’re all going to fall short of grace at times,” he said at a press conference Thursday in New York City. “Judgment is the enemy of compassion.”

“Having a camera on someone” — presumably both body cameras on police and camera phones in the hands of onlookers — “ creates more distrust,” Jay Z said.
“If we have to have an exchange and it has to be recorded, something’s wrong there,” he said. “Something’s broken. A camera can’t fix the relationship between a person that’s hired to protect and serve, and society. It has to be a relationship. It has to be respect on both sides.”
