Why?:

A) There was no gun

B) It is believed a continuance of the riots helps the Democrats rally the black vote for Hillary, and helps her in the upcoming debate. Moderator Lester Holt who is black, will attempt to force Trump to condemn the rioters. Hillary/Holt will spin this as a condemnation of the black community who are upset about "racist white cops".

Focus on the riot during the debate devotes LESS airtime to 0DUNGA/HILLARY'S MISERABLE RECORD ON JOBS, FOREIGN POLICY ALONG WITH HER EMAIL CRIMES, FOUNDATION CRIMES, associates pleading the 5th, etc..

A new North Carolina law forbids public release of police videos except by Court Order
BUT, , , go into effect until October First.
So, it can be freely released until then. Is this the reason for the stall?
His having a gun in his hand won’t matter anyway. It’s open season for mob beatings, arson, prop!rty damage, theft, and looting.Any excuse to do it.

-—I really don’t understand why he won’t release the video-—

It will poison the jury pool..

A video is viewed in the eye of the beholder...

I’m sure lots of blacks think the police should only shoot after they are shot at...

Ain't buyin' it.

You're talking about the possibility of a city burning to the ground or more people being killed. THERE IS A COMPELLING NEED TO RELEASE THE VIDEO, BUT ONLY IF THERE WAS A GUN.

If there WAS a gun and they STILL choose not to release the video, THIS IS 100% POLITICAL AS THEY BELIEVE THIS HELPS HILLARY RALLY THE BLACK VOTE IN NC, and CHANGES THE DEBATE to focus on the riots and the black community rather than other topics Trump could EASILY attack Hillary on such as horrific foreign policy, jobs disaster, email crimes, foundation crimes, pleading the 5th, lies to Congress, etc.

They released multiple videos of the police shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma without this worry, and Betty Shelby is probably going to actually be arrested, unlike the North Carolina cop.

You know this, but a gun in the hands of a black perp in many blacks minds is not enough to justify a police shooting...

That would serve only to pour gas on the fire...to see the video...

Though, it is probably political in nature as well...

Wondering how Hitlery is going to play this one. Will she have any empathy for the female police officer, or will she throw her under the bus? I guess it depends on which will cost her more votes.

This makes no sense ... they always do this trying to “make their case” while others are getting KILLED (Literally!!). Stop with the lawyer crap, it is like political correctness and when there are riots in the streets we don’t have the times for the “niceties”.

You don’t think once the DOJ gets involved, someone in uniform will not be charged with a civil rights violation...

Loretta Lynch will appease the race baiters...

If not DOJ, a lawyer will sue civilly...

Someone will go on a show trial...

The narrative must move forward...

Is this the guy that could barely read the notes he had in front of him?

DOJ was very upset when Ferguson PD released video of Gentle Giant stealing the cigars about 15 minutes before he met his “unarmed” demise.

Maybe the are needs more renewal? Stupid.

Release the video. Give transparency a chance. If the cops did right, fine. If they didn't, don't circle the wagons and drag this out.
