About F**king Time! Ferguson, Missouri police receive training on body cameras [View all]

[sheshe2]

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."

Ferguson's use of Force was a disgusting display of power.

Secondly, the response of the police had all the makings of Shock and Awe, I believe this was unprecedented.

Shock and awe (technically known as rapid dominance) is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant battlefield awareness and maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze the enemy's perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight.
