That's a lotta money, even for the Feds.
Question: Do you think things would have been different in Ferguson if the officer had been wearing a body cam? The officer says that Brown, a big and scary looking guy, attacked him, and he shot in self defense. He probably would have fired at Brown even if he had been wearing a body cam.
I suppose that body camera's would deter a few cops from doing a Rodney King act on some hapless target. But American cops are pretty good about being professional, defense attorneys do a lot to reinforce the professional behavior. I don't think $250 million worth of body cams will make them much more professional.
