Questions for police after death

Special Meeting of the City Council, 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday. Police department protocols, processes and training go under the microscope since an officer’s fatal shooting of Sayed Faisal, 20, in a confrontation in Cambridgeport on Jan. 4. The path forward for giving police body cameras is a likely topic. The city solicitor Nancy Glowa has said permission might be needed from the state Legislature through a home rule petition, but state Rep. Mike Connolly said Wednesday that his research since the shooting has turned up no evidence of that – but has found a state grant program that at least 64 communities have used to help buy them. The council meets at City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square. Televised and watchable by Zoom video conferencing.
