Looks like a perfectly clean shoot yesterday. BUT the cop has to do some shit like this. You're in the national spotlight, a city of riots, danger everywhere, and you don't turn on the new body cams that were brought it to bring clarity to shootings? Reminds me of that other Missouri cop that "accidentally" turned off his camera for 3 shooting incidents lol.
Police Officer Who Shot Man in Missouri Did Not Have Body Cam ActivatedSource: ABC News
By MEGHAN KENEALLY and PAUL H.B. SHIN
The police officer who shot and killed a man on Tuesday in Berkeley, Missouri, was given a body camera but it was not activated at the time of the shooting, officials said today.
The shooting sparked new unrest in a region already reeling following an August police shooting a few miles away in Ferguson. About 200 to 300 protesters gathered at the gas station where Tuesday night's shooting happened.
When asked whether he was concerned that the officer's body cam was not activated, Berkeley Mayor Theodore Hoskins said he was "not concerned."
"At this point it's relatively new," Hoskins said of the body cameras. "We only have three , so if it had been six months from today and we had gone through all the training I would have some concerns."
