This is hardly unexpected. My response is "well, duh!".
There is a large minority of law enforcement that is the meatheads and bullies from high school. They enjoy asserting their authority over those they perceive to be "low lifes". The last thing they want is for cameras to be recording their interactions.
OTOH professional police officers should welcome the CYA that a constantly on body camera provides.
Imagine how different the whole Ferguson shooting would have been if we had incontrovertible video evidence of exactly what happened.
