>It would be nice if there were bodycams to get a definitive answer but that is being held up at city hall, not the police. It would be nice if there were more tools, like tasers that could’ve been deployed, but again - that’s on city hall.

Man, I didn't know that's where the body cameras stalled out...yeesh

Marc McGovern, a Cambridge city councilor, told MassLive that body cameras have been long supported by both the former and current city police commissioners, the city’s police union and several city councilors.

“Unfortunately, despite agreement, the city has not allocated funds for body cameras, thus there is no body camera footage,” councilman McGovern wrote in a newsletter statement.
