Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said she would veto a city council bill that would require police officers in the city to wear body cameras while on duty.

* Hmm, interesting and strange*

no matter what party in charge.

6. Total non-issue, not strange, and not particularly interesting.

"Mayor Rawlings-Blake said while she is for the cameras, a task force she and Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts established last month to study the issue should finish its assessment before the program begins."

"I am 100 percent in support of police body cameras," Rawlings-Blake said last week. "And residents should know that no matter what happens during the City Council process, the city is going to have body cameras."

Wonder why those quotes aren't in the OP, since they're from their link,
