- Differing accounts of killing of Mike Brown lead to calls for body cameras

Police officers in Ferguson have begun wearing body cameras in an effort to restore trust in the force after the shooting of unarmed teenager Mike Brown.
Officers have been equipped with the cameras after two private companies, Safety Vision and Digital Ally, donated more than 50 of them last week.
Officials say officers first wore the cameras at a protest on Saturday, and captured images of protesters taunting officers.
Civil rights groups have been calling for the introduction of the cameras ever since black teenager Mike Brown was shot by white policeman Darren Wilson on August 9.
After the incident police claimed Brown struggled with Wilson, causing the officer to fire his gun, while witnesses said Brown was in the process of surrendering when he was shot in the head and chest.
The policy of equipping officers with cameras has the support of scores of law enforcement agencies and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the cameras have been well received by officers.
