Are you trying to say that maybe the ex-LEO's story doesn't match the video? What are you going to believe? Your lying eyes or the "word" of an Ex-LEO? Surveillance videos in Dallas have proven LEO reports to be false several times in the last year.
I am trying to say that
a) Releasing the video to the defense should be routine.
b) The fact that the prosecution has been resisting releasing it to the defense make me wonder if the video helps the defense.
At any rate, in ANY case we need to wait to see all the facts before passing judgment. My initial feeling was that ex-LEO was very, likely, guilty, but I always wait for all the facts to come out.
Perhaps after we see the video we will know more.
