"The Boston City Council unanimously voted Wednesday to request a host of body-worn camera footage from incidents involving Boston Police Department officers over the last five years, seeking transparency in light of recent events."
"Councilor Miniard Culpepper emphasized the need for transparency following the fatal officer-involved shooting of Stephenson King, which has raised significant public concern and scrutiny."
"Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden charged officer Nicholas O'Malley with manslaughter, while a prosecutor argued that body-worn camera footage showed King was maneuvering to drive away, not attempting to run anyone over."
