My point was that there are many cases where different people view the footage and simply disagree about whether the violence was justified.

true, but in this scenario it is at least better to have the video to debate about vs just testimony

Especially since the average person will side with the police office the majority of the time. The fact that they're arguing over it instead is an improvement.

These glasses have no AR though, just a camera.

If these were AR glasses first, would we have accepted the cameras as a necessary evil? If that is the case, then the concern seems superficial.

AR requires cameras, doesn't it? It's the connecting to the internet, recording the video and not allowing people a single shred of privacy anywhere, eventually even in their own homes, that is galling, especially when FB is doing it so they can track you down and bomb you with advertisements.
