OK, update time. Found what is allegedly the entire video, but you have to have Flash 10.3 to play it:

And this is from Friday:

Statement from Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis

WAVERLY, Tenn - Darrin Ring has sat in jail since January charged with aggravated assault on police officers and resisting arrest outside of Waverly.

However, that all changed after Public Defender Jake Lockert contacted District Attorney Dan Alsobrooks.

First, the D.A. requested an independent investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

"Once we actually reviewed the police in-car video, it raised enough questions to order a full investigation," said Alsobrooks. "We don't want to rush to judgment, but we did want to release Mr. Ring pending the investigation."

Ring has been in frequent trouble in Humphreys County. He has been arrested for walking into another man's home while intoxicated, DUI and for trying to stop traffic while intoxicated.

Humphreys County deputies once got a call that a werewolf was chasing cars. It turned out to be Ring.

(had to include the part about werewolves - too funny).

I think the TV station definitely edited the video to make it less sympathetic to the police, not more - you didn't see the part where the cop asked the guy to take his hands out of his pockets and the guy kept putting them back in.

Give the cops are responding to a call about possible gunshots fired, and have already told everyone present that is why they are here, well, not smart. You have to be a royal dumbass to do that in such a situation.
