Video is evidence. Reviewing it would be important.
FWIW, the informer went further than what is stated in this article. He said the policemen involved were allowed to view the tape and write their report(s). Supervisors then reviewed the reports and returned it to them for several “rewrites” as they were unhappy with them. The informer also said the computer is hooked to some sort of mainframe (sorry if my terminology is bad, this is my understanding) and there will be a log of all these entries and re-entries.
Because the Orange County district attorney's office, which is investigating Thomas' death along with the FBI, has refused to release the tape publicly, saying investigators believe it could influence witness recollections. The Fullerton police have also rejected requests to make the tape public.
So which is it reviewing is good or only good for the police cover up.
Not a review but the subjects of the investigation. Seriously now.
