Ferguson, Missouri Cops Start Wearing Body Cameras
FERGUSON, Mo. (CBSNEWS.COM) - Police in the St. Louis suburb where a white officer shot and killed an unarmed 18-year-old black teenager have started wearing body cameras, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told the newspaper officers had the devices on during a protest march Saturday over the August 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.
Jackson said the department was given about 50 body cameras by two companies about a week ago. Company representatives offered training to officers Saturday on using the devices that attach to their uniforms and record video and audio. Jackson said each officer will get one to use.
