One of the four officers involved in the incident activated his body-worn camera, giving the public a first-person view of the crash and its aftermath.

While the U.S. Park Police is one of the smaller police departments in D.C., it has extensive jurisdiction over the federal parks, monuments, memorials, and roadways throughout the city.

D.C. lawmakers say they are reviewing the city’s body-worn camera program, notably the laws on how and when footage is released to the public.

According to the mayor, D.C. leads the nation in police body-camera deployment.

Protesters have taken to the street every week since the shooting of the black motorcyclist by a D.C. police officer.

Mayor Muriel Bowser says that releasing the information is in the best interest of the public.

But the bill’s sponsor, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, still has one major gripe.

The mayor decided releasing the footage in the death of Alonzo Smith, which has been ruled a homicide, was in the public interest.

In the first of two votes, the D.C. council unanimously approved the “Body-Worn Camera Program Amendment Act of 2015” today. This is the first of two votes.

The committee’s bill will go to the full council for the first of two votes on December 1.
