Bodycamera footage released by Appleton police in Wisconsin show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting of a firefighter in May.

Baltimore police have presented body camera footage that they say shows a veteran officer who has been suspended for misconduct chasing down and arresting a pedestrian who criticized his behavior. Sgt. Ethan Newberg and a colleague have been suspended after investigators say body camera video disproved the 24-year veteran's account of an arrest last month. Newberg said the man was 'combative and aggressive.' In video shown to reporters Friday, a passerby crosses a rain-slicked street where officers are conducting a stop.
