The phone record case does require nuance when it comes to underage people, privacy, etc.But George Floyd was killed out in public.
You know what? Fair.
I was wrong in this particular case. You're right. The public should have had full access to the information from the beginning: no excuses.
And since we both agree about the sensitive information/situations, not much left to discuss.

And also, the cops would have every reason to want the full picture out there so did someone above them prevent it? Could someone other than the police department decide which videos are released?Unless there were some SJW cops that were in charge of making these choices? This just feels like it has the mayors greasy hands all over it.
In this case, the accused cops would have full access to that information to help build their defense. It's how it works. The prosecutor and the defendants get access to the same evidence when it goes to jury trial. It's part of the "fair trial" clause of the 6th Amendment.
