I'm not sure if bodycam footage is always conclusive.
I remember seeing one bit of bodycam footage on the nightly news that made it look like the cop just executed a black male driver like the scene at the beginning of the Dirty Harry movie Magnum Force.
What the cop saw, and the bodycam didn't, is that the driver had a gun within reach. You might still make the case that the cop was in the wrong, but it wasn't like the cop didn't perceive a threat. In that case, the bodycam is making the cop look worse, but it could just easily be the other way around.
