You know, when we talk about the body cameras, this is such an interesting topic because we're all trying to understand who wears what. The President was asked about how he feels about federal officers wearing body cameras. I'm curious of your take, but I also want to listen to what he said:
-
I think it's good having lots of cameras on these kinds of incidents between law enforcement and the people.
-
I think it would help law enforcement, but I'd have to talk to them. I'm going to be talking to them tomorrow.
Actually, I think it would help law enforcement.
You know, that works both ways. But I think overall, I think it's 80% in favor of law enforcement.

So I want to take a look at some stats because according to June data from the House Homeland Security Committee, 4,400 ICE officers wear body cameras in a force of about 22,000 and nearly 13,000 Border Patrol agents wear cameras in a force of nearly 45,000.
So we've got this huge bright spotlight on these immigration officers.
Right? So as we're watching this all play out, many people say, hey, let's see it all.
We want to see the videos that are being taken from the streets and we want to see the videos that's being worn.
But do you think it's important for all ICE officers and Border Patrol agents to wear these body cameras?
Because it does seem like it would make it a lot easier to investigate any incidents of violence, accusations of violence towards or involving officers.
How do you see it?
