The Sunday Transcript:
Sadly, it’s becoming almost a weekly occurrence, another disturbing video showing a white police officer killing an unarmed black man. It was a body camera video that helped lead to the indictment of the University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing, for the death of Samuel DeBose this past week.
Tensing claims he was dragged by DeBose’s car, but the video seemed to tell a very different story. It’s another example of why calls for more police officers to be equipped with body cameras are getting louder. But the problems that the videos from Staten Island, to North Charleston, to Cincinnati are highlighting aren’t going to be just solved just by cameras.
Is there a problem with the way we recruit and train police officers in this country? Joining me now is commissioner Charles Ramsey of the Philadelphia Police Department. He’s co-chair of President Obama’s taskforce on 21st century policing. Commissioner, welcome back to Meet the Press.
