President Obama on Monday will announce $263 million in funding for law enforcement agencies to purchase body-worn cameras and improve training. The White House said the funding, which would need to be matched by state and local police, could purchase 50,000 body-worn cameras.As I said from the start, this whole mess wouldn't have happened if the Ferguson cops hadn't been penny-wise and billion-foolish. When everyone can see that the cop is right, agitators will still try the usual shit but it won't go very far. With more Fed money going into cams and less into Humvees, other police departments will now be able to avoid similar messes. Or at least they won't be able to use cost as an excuse for suicidal stupidity.
