The defunding of police isn't going to help that situation either.

Definitely not. Perhaps that's 1 of the reasons why they want to defund the police. First they demanded body cameras. Then they realised body cameras actually prove the police are generally correct in their responses. Now they want to get rid of body cameras.

Small depts rarely get the funding necessary to purchase them, I'm sure they would wear them if they could specifically for situations like this

Ever heard of twitch? These poor guys having to traverse the monumental hurdle of streaming footage. Nah.

Make the cops themselves pay for it, did you know(at least some) EMTs pay for their own shit?

The cameras, databases, servers, upkeep, security, installation, etc? That's a monumental thing to pay for out of pocket.
