iirc - the timeline was - floyd murdered - press release released -
then bystander video appeared
also - no mention of dispatcher watching the murder in real time via
street corner camera
openness - live scanner audio

related incident 2015
North Charleston SC - cop shoots fleeing perp in back and plants taser
on him - cops issue report blaming perp - cellphone video from
bystander surfaces - cop charged with murder - gets 20 years
maybe cop had real reason to shoot - per - "After clarifying the video
and inspecting frame 394, however, he noticed that as Slager began
reaching to draw his firearm, it appeared that Scott was still holding
Slager's Taser, "potentially enough to make Slager fear for his life
and maybe meet the grounds needed to use lethal force."[56] It was
impactful in Slager's trial after Voshart showed Slager's lawyer, Andy
Savage, the stabilized video.[56] During the trial, the officer
"testified that he did not realize the Taser had fallen behind him
when he fired the fatal shots."[57]"
I never heard that before
but the video was pretty obvious - the cop didnt want to chase after
the guy so he fired 8 shots into his back - and then neither cop did
any first aid
I had the wikipedia article about scott - why didnt I post it? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Walter_Scott
