I saw the FULL Video, before it was TRIMMED to fit YOUTUBE’s 10 minute limitation (which is not a real limitation, as they have videos that are and hour and a half long. It seems it depends on the SUBJECT MATTER, and whether they can generate more interest (HITS) by leaving it whole, or TRIMMING out certain PARTS. (just like the Clintons had the MSM do for them)

We are dealing some posters who BELIEVE that the laws should be different for a young WHITE GUY with a PREGNANT WIFE in UTAH, versus TWO BLACK GUYS in a CADILLAC in ARIZONA.

Who believe that the officer had no RIGHT to ensure the safety of his own life when confronted with suspicious actions of someone UNDER ARREST. Who believe that when a cop pulls them over, that they are not UNDER ARREST at that point. (I am sorry, but you are, and may be handcuffed, even if you never get a ticket, or are charged with anything).

PEOPLE seem to want to live in a fairy tale world, where they can WHINE and BEG their way out of tickets,
or leave the scene of a crime after running over CONSTRUCTION WORKERS BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING 68MPH in a 40MPH CONSTRUCTION ZONE (and then have daddy buy their way out), but , SHOULD a couple of vandals in a stolen car run a light, and hit one of these ‘people’, you can bet they would demand the cops CATCH these vandals, and if caught would be standing behind the cops yelling “HIT EM WITH THE TASER AGAIN”.

Not a one of them is truly interested in the facts of this case, as 99% have only seen the EDITED version, which has been EDITED to stir controversy.

Remember, the original came from the POLICE CAM, not some bystanders cam. WHO RELEASED THIS FOOTAGE to YOUTUBE (it wasn’t the police) AND WHY?

Maybe the kid’s LAWYER? Or his DAD (trying to get him out of the ticket)?

CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

The incident's over two months old. The timing's about right for a release persuant to a public records request. Could be the lawyer, could be the media.
