I agree. Although it is pretty interesting how quickly they were able to release the bodycam footage.

    Funny how it's out the next day when it exonerates the cop of any wrongdoing. That's why I assume the worst when they don't release immediately. Oversight is good for everyone, including police.

    Well yeah, they didn't have to go to the writers room to come up with a narrative, or dig through his rap sheet to see if he ever looked at a marijuana.

    It's just digital files, any police department can release body cam footage quickly. They just don't want to.

    When cops shot a hostage in California it took them 2 years to release it. I think that was their point, footage is released quickly when the cops are in the right, it suddenly becomes a problem if it makes them look bad.
