In January 2015, a man named Okeefe was killed by a police officer after a short chase. Okeefe had been fleeing from the police and several shots were fired. The police officer was wearing a video camera, which recorded the incident. Several cities now require police officers to wear such cameras to increase transparency and accountability of law enforcement. Observers have noticed that both, police officers and citizens, tend to behave better when a camera is recording the incident. As documents of "the truth," police videos can be somewhat ambiguous. For example, the footage described above does not actually show Okeefe fleeing or shooting at Officer Fisher. One day before that incident, however, prosecutors did decide to pursue murder charges against two other Albuquerque police

officers whose killing of a homeless man was captured by a helmet camera. Once the police officer arrived at the scene, he had to exercise discretion in what manner? A. He had to consider whether to shoot the suspect. B. He had to decide whether the shots fired were coming from the suspect. C. He had to consider his safety and the safety of others. D. All of these are correct.
