The bodycam video is so incredibly heavily edited and manipulative. I struggle to understand how anyone can watch it and not feel like they are being overtly manipulated (and also start to heavily doubt the narrative being pushed).
For example, what happens between 14:26 and 14:31 and 14:50-14:57, and 15:44-16:33?
Or, we might ask ourselves, why does this interaction seem incredibly one-sided? Before people say "nothing could possibly justify", consider what might have happened between 14:26 and 14:31 and 14:50-14:57, and 15:44-16:33, which is literally the entire premise of the arrest (and omitted from the video).
- Clubber 3y agoThe full body cam footage is public record and has been widely discussed by cop watching channels.
- acyou 3y agoIs that true? Do you have a link to corroborate that claim? Quickly checking, I wasn't able to find anything that indicates the full bodycam footage is in fact public record.
- Clubber 3y agoFWIW, all government records are by default public record thanks to the FOIA. The government can try to make exceptions and redactions, but even when they try to block it, they are forced to release related information in court in discovery. The only exception to this in recent memory is the SCOTUS refused to hear an NSA case due to sensitive material because they knew lots of stuff would be become public record. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(United_States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(Un... It was more difficult to find that I remember without all the commentary, but here it is. https://www.newtongov.org/CivicMedia?VID=277#player https://www.newtongov.org/CivicMedia?VID=277#player
