Aug 20 (Reuters) - Digital Ally Inc has been busy fielding a rush of enquiries from U.S. police departments this past week about its wearable cameras, following the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager that triggered large-scale rioting. Interest in these tiny video cameras, which can be pinned to shirts, belts or eye-glasses, has surged as pressure mounts on the police for a transparent investigation into the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white policeman in Ferguson, Missouri. A petition on the White House website calling for state, county and local police to be required to wear a camera has received 130,350 signatures since it was uploaded on Aug. 13. "We have had a lot more enquiries because of the civil unrest that is going on over in Ferguson," Digital Ally Chief Executive Stanton Ross told Reuters.

Albers, 46, a 20-year police veteran who served four years in the Army, is the man caught on video screaming at protesters, "I will fucking kill you," while pointing his rifle at civilians, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez told The Huffington Post Wednesday night. Albers told the chief he was sick to his stomach and "should have known better," Jimenez said. He has been placed on indefinite, unpaid suspension from the force while an investigation is underway. "It's frustrating, because we told [our officers] before we went down there that there would be lots of people trying to antagonize to provoke them into saying something," Jimenez said.

Quadeer "M.C. Spice" Shakur , Minister of Information for the Universal Zulu Nation has founded the American Drones Association. The non-profit organization's slogan is "policing the police from the friendly skies."

The American Drones Association has already begun zoning in on police activity in the Black communities where members of those communities have registered complaints and been harassed by police. The American Drones Association plans to have 100 zones in each major city in the United States and have contacted private owners to be
