LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: It’s time for D.C. to end police body-cam censorship once and for all By Editor On Aug 13, 2020 Last updated Aug 13, 2020 24 Share FOLLOWING THE police shooting of Michael Brown six years ago in Ferguson, Mo., D.C. was one of the first big cities to undertake a body-camera pilot program for its police force; by the end of 2016, all D.C. patrol officers were equipped with the devices, at a cost of $5 million. The goal was, or should have been, to enhance meaningful accountability and transparency in a fast-changing landscape where the public had become increasingly skeptical, often with good reason, about incidents involving deadly force by the police. 24 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
