In reply to the discussion: Why is the Saint Louis County Police purposely trying to stir up unrest? [View all]951-Riverside
(7,234 posts)6. The "Tamir Rice tape" you referenced to earlier as an example to support your theory...
Didn't happen in Saint Louis either.
Whatever the case is, the point that I'm making is that by releasing an edited video only helps fuel unrest. A large amount people in that area are already on edge and they do not care about judges, grand juries, etc, they have lost faith in the system and in that environment when you release a video like that, it only fuels their doubts and fears.
It would have been smart on their part hold the video if they had no intentions of releasing the unedited version or release the whole video. Anything in between only fuels unrest, they should know better.
