I was told by a criminal attorney in my state that the state decided to discontinue video recording police encounters because 99.9% of the time it was losing cases for them. The video evidence was almost never in their favor. So they stopped.
That's terrible. Not because they were losing cases because of it, but rather because they stopped when they were getting too much negative evidence about them.
Not recording abuse because the abuser is from a particular group is just wrong. That's pretty much giving them permission to be horrible people.
