Why should video of the incident have to wait?
Does the picture lose its probative value because it has been given over to the public?
Right now, we have the police basically saying “trust us”, but the story coming out is fractured and fragmented - and every drip seems like it is designed to support the police having acted correctly, even heroically.
I may be jaded, but I don’t see the harm in releasing the video now.
Apparently they don't believe that taints or biases jurors.
