Mayor Pete Buttigieg directed his police chief to order all South Bend, Indiana, police officers to turn their body cameras on when interacting with civilians on duty, making the decision after a tumultuous week
The week has been a trying one for Buttigieg, who returned to South Bend on Sunday after an officer shot and killed a man who was allegedly breaking into cars with a knife in hand. In response, Buttigieg canceled an appearance at a Democratic National Committee event on Monday, as well as a series of fundraisers in California on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"Asked on Tuesday whether Buttigieg believed in 2018 that the body cameras would always be on, Mark Bode, the spokesman for Buttigieg's mayoral office, indicated that the"city's expectation" was that"all officers are to keep their body cameras activated when engaging with civilians.""The Mayor's expectation hasn't changed since the implementation of the body cameras," Bode said in an email.
