SOUTH BEND, Indiana — The Indiana city where Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is mayor is updating its police officers’ body camera technology following the recent fatal police shooting of a black man. South Bend Police Sgt. Ryan O’ Neill fatally shot Eric Logan on June 16, but the incident wasn’t captured on video because his body camera wasn’t activated. ADVERTISEMENTThe technology upgrades will mean officers’ body cameras can be activated manually or automatically when a squad car door is opened, the South Bend Tribune reported. The sensor technology wasn’t available when South Bend initially purchased the cameras last year for $1.5 million, BodyWorn officials said.
