So stupid, could never figue out how destroying your own homes and neighborhoods ever accomplishes anything.
On the other hand if the police have a video that shows him pointing a gun at them why in gods name they will not release it is totally beyond me. Pretty stupid when they could just show it and all this could have been avoided yet they refuse too. I dont buy that BS thus I think there is more to the story than they re saying.....for sure....

Why are they waiting so long to release it then? It makes no sense at all to me. Makes this whole thing even more senseless. The whole riot thing could have been avoided if it is as cut and dry as it sounds but no they would rather let things go to hell rather than release the footage? Makes no sense at all....

Hmm. It has been shown time and time again that facts dont matter. The Michael Brown fiasco was proof that facts dont matter. There is an agenda at work. "Activists" are being paid good money to enter communities and instigate riots.

We are watching a political and media driven plan at work. Keep the people divided. Keep the people angry and others. Keep the people fixated on anything other than the crimes going on in the top offices.

ya cant just release something..all the lawyers..investigators etc have to see and decide what//is//were//any laws broken..this takes time and its understandable. it needs to be presented in the right way to ensure its presented CORRECTLY with the right evidence and call for any further investigation or charges to be pursued. There doesn't need to be any more confusion added to the situation.

I feel if you place a camera on a so called public servant what it records should be a matter of public record, immediately. IMO the sooner it is released the more credibility it lends to it anyway. Less time for allegations of editing and tampering. I mean sure you can come up with some legal mumbo jumbo as far as protecting evidence etc but the fact is what is there to protect ?
I can see this, perhaps they may need the deceased family's permission to release said recording in which case if they refuse right there you have recourse to defend your actions and position which MAY be used to diffuse the situation. In many cases probably not but perhaps. As was mentioned earlier in this thread there are people who go to such areas where this stuff occurs with the sole intent to stir up public controversy and start riots (eh I mean "protests").
I just feel there has to be a more expeditious means to get this out to the public if it might in fact exonerate the officer and quell public outcry, thats all.
