Shooting near Ferguson renews debate over police body cameras



Body-camera1

The Berkeley, Missouri, police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Antonio Martin at a gas station on Tuesday didn't have his body camera on at the time, according to police.


The black teenager allegedly pointed a gun at the officer before the officer shot him. Though the publicly available surveillance video of the incident might support that claim, it's difficult to discern. That may mean much of the investigation will depend on the recollections of the officer and other eyewitnesses, echoing the case of Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.
