The devices, said Attorney General Loretta Lynch, “hold tremendous promise for enhancing transparency, promoting accountability, and advancing public safety.”

A new study by Temple University researchers, however, suggests that the wearable video cameras may not lead to fewer police shootings of civilians, but may actually make officers more likely to use lethal force.

LOL. I love it. Body cams have given cops the confidence they need to finally take out the trash without fearing any blowback. They are free to kill thugs to their hearts content with proof on their side that they are in the right. I love it so much. Suck it, cop haters.
 
if body cam footage provides greater justification for shoots, i'm ok with that. just so long as it's also used to condemn and convict cops that shoot without justification.
