In video footage that shows a lot of other officers, you can see if they're wearing BWCs. When there's an Officer Involved Shooting, all cops in the area are going to rush to the spot (as the shooting officer should have been in danger), so you should be able to see a lot of officers wearing BWCs. I don't know if LAPD releases much of that BWC footage in unedited form, but where I live (Chicago), a civilian oversight board reviews use-of-force incidents and makes BWC footage and other materials public [0], and in my experience as a homicide researcher for UChicago, officers were initially skeptical of BWCs, but now they consider them a valuable piece of personal protective equipment, as they are often exonerated by their BWC footage.
