THE NYPD is “looking to release” body camera footage of last week’s fatal police-involved shooting in the Bronx, the city’s top cop said Tuesday.

“I think it’s important to release videos whether good, bad, or indifferen­t,” NYPD Commission­er James O’Neill told the New York Press Club.

The Sept. 6 death of Miguel Richards, 31, was the city’s first officer-involved fatal shooting recorded by body cameras since the NYPD started equipping cops with the technology as part of a pilot program in April. Cops say Richards aimed a toy gun at police in his Edenwald apartment and police fired 16 shots at him.
