Should Cops Wear Cameras

The video footage of Henderson police holding down and kicking a man who was having a diabetic seizure has many wondering if more cameras would help deter bad behavior by cops and citizens alike.  After the incident in Henderson, Las Vegas Metropolitan Sheriff Doug Gillespie says he wants all his officers to wear cameras.  The latest technology is cameras worn on glasses, like a bluetooth.  Would these cameras really make a difference?  Would they deter bad behavior?  And what's to keep a cop from just turning the camera off?  Are they tamper proof?
