Ferguson Police Execute Unarmed 17 Year Old Black Boy

Can we please mandate these pigs wear go-pro cameras at all times? There are no negatives to such a thing, but an immense boost to accountability.

The body camera system is great, but a lot of the departments are giving the officer the ability to start and stop recording at their judgement.

Ultimately, I think the cameras will have a minimal effect. It would still be up to the units and justice system to prosecute officers caught on tape, which is the problem now (see Eric Garner case and many others).

Sad. This has been out of hand for so long that it's almost made me apathetic to the issue.

May the victim RIP.

Exactly. They'd have to actually give a shyt about their officers killing off civilians haphazardly for it to make a difference in the first place.

Saint Louis.... I'm ashamed of my hometown

No way at all this can be justified. An unarmed civilian who's given themselves up should NEVER be shot at or killed.

Witnesses tell News 4 that Mike Brown, 18, was unarmed and had his hands in the air when he was shot multiple times by the a Ferguson police officer.

They brought that riot gear out because it's about to get ugly for St. Louis PD's...pay attention and watch.

Once again this is why all cops should be required to wear body mounted video cameras on duty. They are not paid mercenaries brehs, they are paid public servants. I don't know how else to stop shyt like this in an effective manner, but it would be a step in the right direction. Plus it would eliminate the he said, she said shyt. There would always be direct evidence as to what happened and it would put cops on notice that someone is watching the watchmen.

A study submitted this month by the District’s Police Complaints Board citedthe example of the Rialto, Calif., police department, which measured the use of force by officers wearing cameras against a control group of officers who didn’t wear them. The camera-wearing officers were involved in dramatically fewer incidents involving the use of their batons, pepper spray, stun guns or firearms. Behavioral changes were so striking — both in the officers and in citizens they encountered — that complaints against the cops wearing cameras declined by nearly 90 percent.

Then the mandate needs to be that the camera is on at all times, or when they are responding to a call. I don't know how the justice system would react in holding the officer responsible, but it will help in civil suits.
