Ferguson, Missouri police are being trained to use and wear body cameras, CBS affiliate KMOV reports.
The training comes amid increased attention on police use of force in the wake of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Following that shooting, local police in Ferguson donned riot gear and fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who refused to disperse and, at times, broke into nearby businesses.
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said body cameras would have made a difference in the investigation of Brown's shooting.

"A picture's worth a thousand words and video, many more," Bibring said. "And video, from the perspective of the officer, is going to be an invaluable tool in determining why an officer acted the way he or she did - and whether he or she acted appropriately."

Beyond Ferguson: Understanding the big picture
I just want to say that Carol Anderson nailed it in her column titled: Ferguson isn't about black rage against cops. It's white rage against progress.When we look back on what happened in Ferguson, Mo., during the summer of 2014, it will be easy to think of it as yet one more episode of black rage ignited by yet another police killing of an unarmed African American male. But that has it precisely backward. What we’ve actually seen is the latest outbreak of white rage. Sure, it is cloaked in the niceties of law and order, but it is rage nonetheless.
Protests and looting naturally capture attention. But the real rage smolders in meetings where officials redraw precincts to dilute African American voting strength or seek to slash the government payrolls that have long served as sources of black employment. It goes virtually unnoticed, however, because white rage doesn’t have to take to the streets and face rubber bullets to be heard. Instead, white rage carries an aura of respectability and has access to the courts, police, legislatures and governors, who cast its efforts as noble, though they are actually driven by the most ignoble motivations.
White rage recurs in American history. It exploded after the Civil War, erupted again to undermine the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision and took on its latest incarnation with Barack Obama’s ascent to the White House. For every action of African American advancement, there’s a reaction, a backlash.

The reason its important to remember this is that it keeps the focus where it should be...on racism. But it also allows us to acknowledge the strength of our cause. Change is happening and the backlash is very real. But as I've said so many times, the dying beast is lashing out in its death throes. That's why I loved how Rev. Al Sharpton ended his remarks at Michael Brown's memorial service.
The backlash we're experiencing now was triggered by just that kind of hope.
We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change...

Ferguson Police shoots unarmed black kid 10 timesPosted on August 9, 2014 by SouthernGirl2
WTFF? It’s open season on young black boys in America. Shot 10 times? Did he empty his clip? A hunter doesn’t shoot a lion 10 times.
snip
When Black people bring up the obvious racial component of this against the Black community by law enforcement, White people always want to diminish it, and disregard our valid feelings about it.
snip
I want you to find 25 cases where WHITE PEOPLE are MURDERED by the police like this.
Unarmed and choked like Eric Garner in New York.
Standing in a Wal-Mart – a place that sells and shills ACTUAL FIREARMS – with a Plastic BBGuns – being shot down
This young man being shot with his hands in the air.
Being shot in the back ‘ resisting arrest’.
‘Committing Suicide’ while being handcuffed.
Killing a 92 year old woman in her house under a wrong warrant.

[TW] After a lynching, the body left on tree for a while. 3 reasons. To make images of it. To entertain Whites. Psych warfare on Black ppl
Trudy@thetrudz
And this reason, this context, this history, and this power, *directly* connects to Michael Brown’s execution and his body left in street.

DIRECTLY. It is not a metaphor. It is not a trope. Not use of Black death for non-BP anti-Blackness. His execution = legacy of lynching.

Of course. It fits the oppressor’s narrative. RT @AngryBlackLady: now the media is going to focus on looting rather than the shooting.
