Body camera video equivalent to 25 million copies of “Barbie” is collected but rarely reviewed. Some cities are looking to new technology to examine this stockpile of footage to identify problematic officers and patterns of behavior.

    Body camera video equivalent of 25 million copies of “Barbie”

    Is this a typical unit of measurement in journalism? Like what even is this? Crappy in-article advertising? Some weird SEO shit? An odd attempt to be cool and hip?

      It’s America; anything but metric.

        Ah yes, the metric measurement of time. My favorite.

            Your point? It’s still not really a valid comment. Just a braindead joke that’s played out even when it’s actually relevant lol

      It’s the kind of phrasing you use when you’re paid for how long an article is, but not how good it is.
