Congressman Cleaver and Congressman Green Secure Inclusion of Body Camera Funding in President’s Budget

Today, U.S. Representatives Emanuel Cleaver, II (MO-05) and Al Green (TX-09) announced that President Obama has included funding for body cameras in his FY2016 budget.

“Both the police and the public benefit when the police have the best tools and training to fulfill their mission,” said Congressman Emanuel Cleaver. “Body cameras are one part of a broader solution to keep our communities safe and promote accountability. With these tools, we can protect the rights of all parties involved and provide better evidence for any police investigation, whether that is for citizens or for an officer.”

“I thank President Obama for his leadership on this issue and wholeheartedly support his administration’s efforts to provide funding for police body cameras,” said Congressman Al Green. “I, along with many people of good will, believe that having our officers wear body cameras can bring much-needed additional transparency and protect officers against specious allegations. Presently, numerous major police departments around the country have conducted studies, introduced pilot programs, or require officers to wear body cameras. Currently, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver and I are working on the Camera Authorization and Maintenance-Transparency in Policing Act (CAM-TIP) of 2015, so that Congress can join with the President on the issue of transparency and accountability in law enforcement.”
On December 11, 2014, Congressman Cleaver introduced H.R. 5865, the Camera Authorization and Maintenance Act or CAM Act, to encourage the use of body cameras by law enforcement agencies across the country. Congressman Cleaver and Congressman Green are working together to introduce body camera legislation in the 114th Congress. Congressman Cleaver wrote to President Obama in January to secure funding for body cameras and community policing. That letter is available here.

The President’s new Community Policing Initiative aims to build and sustain trust between law enforcement and the people they serve. The President’s FY2016 Budget provides $97 million to expand training and oversight for local law enforcement, increase the use of body-worn cameras, provide additional opportunities for police department reform, and facilitate community and law enforcement engagement in ten pilot sites, with additional technical assistance and training for dozens of communities and police departments across the Nation.

Emanuel Cleaver, II is the U.S. Representative for Missouri’s Fifth Congressional District, which includes Kansas City, Independence, Lee's Summit, Raytown, Grandview, Sugar Creek, Blue Springs, Grain Valley, Oak Grove, North Kansas City, Gladstone, Claycomo, and all of Ray, Lafayette, and Saline Counties. He is a member of the exclusive House Financial Services Committee, the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance, and also a Senior Whip of the Democratic Caucus.

  1. let that nig rag "Salon" keep telling everyone that blacks need to start killing more whites wholesale and have more liberal commie "white" jew dike apologists write more articles about how we need to apologize for our so called "white privilege" and we need to let the negro get away with whatever he wants to including raping our women and children, stealing, looting, beatings, and murder against innocent white people for the sole reason of being white so he, being the Negri, deserves this.

    You know what. Yeah white privilege does exist. You know why?

    WE FU*KING EARNED THAT RIGHT! WE WORKED OUT ASSES OFF FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE EARTH AND WE HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO HAVE CERTAIN PRIVILEGES. THE NEGRI HAVEN'T EARNED THIS. THEY HAVEN'T EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FAECES SCRAPED OFF OUR SHOES.

    White America is getting very sick and tired of this negro whinery and crybabery, rioting and murdering it's causing lots and lots of whites i know who were fence sitters to come over finally, FINALLY!

    So let them keep at it because it needs to get worse before it gets better for us whites.

    The Negri are just digging their own graves.

    Just like the jew who keeps screaming "anti-semite" over and over and over and over again every time it doesn't get its greedy little way or when someone stands up to the little sh*ts.

    So let em over use those phrases because just like antibiotics over used, they will eventually stop working and there will be a massive back lash and onslaught in these two parasites of humanity!

    It's only a matter of time!

    Sieg Heil, mein volk! We will crush the vermin!

  4. I believe this is just more bullshit to evade and avoid responsibility for the actions of your voter base.

  5. The video on cops is a great idea. Cops, with few exceptions are NOT trying to beat and kill citizens. What the video will show, is out of control blacks acting black.

    I am actually pretty surprised blacks want video cameras on all cops. Just go to You tube and look at all the crazy, whacked out shit blacks do. Then go to World Star and see it again.

    Cameras on cops are a good thing for the city.

  7. RE: U.S. Representatives Emanuel Cleaver, II (MO-05) and Al Green (TX-09)

    For anyone who's watched these two in Congressional hearings, you know that they're cut from the same cloth....DUNCE CLOTH!!

    They would both be well-advised to keep their mouths shut, because once they start talking, it's painfully obvious that they're I-G-N-O-R-A-N-T!!!!

    Two examples of the Peter Principle.

  9. 7:45 is exactly right.
    All these marchers and panderers like Cleaver who are pushing so hard for cameras on the police have no idea what's really going on and who will be shown to behave irresponsibly and even criminally over and over again.
    After cameras were installed in police cars and the public became aware that a record of their behavior was being recorded, complaints against the cops went way down.
    And, although ignorance may be bliss, be careful what you wish for.

  10. I totally agree that cops should have body cameras for their own protection. The "hands up" Ferguson movement would never have happened. Let the whole country witness black thuggery and their lawless "the constitution doesn't apply to me" attitude and

  11. Gee what a new and fresh idea. I swear Cleaver is black America’s version of Larry Tate.
