We reported in The Eagle today about Mayor Carlos Mayans and City Council member Carl Brewer supporting cameras in police cars. Both men supported it in their comments. But, as Sunflower Community Action members are pointing out this morning, that’s not the full story.
Mayans asked Brewer to make a motion on the cameras during budget negotiations last year, but Brewer didn’t. Later, Mayans made a motion of his own to shift $150,000 from the city’s long-term spending to start a pilot project. Brewer voted against that. Only Mayans and Paul Gray supported it.

No cameras in the cars ($1 million) but the City wants a multi million dollar wireless internet service?
If the police car with tag number 67455 had had a camera it would of caught my son and I nearly being run over by a speeding cop with no lights going the wrong way 2 blocks from a school yesterday…
