Police officers in Ferguson have begun wearing body cameras after weeks of unrest over the shooting death of an unarmed black teen by a white officer and differing accounts of the incident, media reports said.
Michael Brown, 18, was shot multiple times by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson on August 9, sparking nearly three weeks of angry protests in the St. Louis suburb and drawing global attention to race relations in the United States, CBC news reported.
Law enforcement and witnesses gave differing accounts of what transpired before Brown was shot, with police saying the teen had struggled with the officer. Witnesses say Brown held up his hands and was surrendering when he was shot multiple times in the head and chest.
