Forgive me, but body cams are not the answer. Now if we're talking body cams on every person who decides that there is no authority on earth they must obey, then absolutely...body cams with good clear audio on those people would help. As would 24 hour video surveillance.

IF there has been a rise in police shootings, and I think the jury is still out on that, it is precisely because we have a generation that now feels empowered to disobey all authority. Back to Vietnam days. Oh joy!

I can't see enough from the vaunted body cam to really decide about this.

I do suggest that if you believe you know exactly how you would react in such a situation, you should contact a large police department and ask if they can allow you to participate in some training scenarios that will simulate this kind of situation. I believe you will find that faced with similar circumstances, you will have far less time to consider your response than you think. You may also discover that you will make mistakes that are all too easy to make. In real time it isn't like viewing a video.

Edit: I finally found the video of Quanell X doing this here in Houston. Very enlightening.
