Do body cameras help? Does it reduce rates of police violence? Do body cameras increase accountability for police officers?

I remember reading this article in college on the effect of body cameras on police brutality, and I believe that the results showed that it did have a statistically significant difference  because. the data set was so large, but the difference between the two percentages was still less than one percentage point, so it deals very well with questioning statistical significance and treating it as it really is which is a measure of the probability that the difference occurred due to chance, not the. size or human significance of the difference]]> 2021-02-25 00:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kristen_watson2/lygm7jsth7fgvtme/wish/1239004182 https://padlet.com/kristen_watson2/lygm7jsth7fgvtme/wish/1239004342 How much has the Dallas Police budget increased overtime?
