So are you saying that since the police have the video and the attorney for one of the defendants that is out on bail from the incident wants to see the video because it might clear his client and the police won’t give it to him, that it is wrong to try to force the police to hand over a copy?

Nope. ISTM that one function of the examining trial is to confirm that probable cause did indeed exist to arrest. Defendant wants to challenge probable cause and believes that a video would show that he did not conspire (which is all that anyone is charged with.)
