That footage will never, and I mean, NEVER see the light of day. It will have to be leaked to get out.
If they did no wrong, then they would release it. Since they haven't released it and never will, wrong has definitely been done.
If it hasn't been destroyed, it would take burglary of a police station to get it released.
I could have sworn they did release it. I remember people saying that it was graphic because you should see dead children on the floor as the police, nonchalantly, walked around the building.
There have been a few mass shootings with released footage, but Uvalde isn’t one of them. The prevailing theory is that a cop (or multiple cops) accidentally shot a kid (or multiple kids) in the classroom so the footage has been buried. IIRC, at least one kid in the classroom had gunshot wounds that weren’t consistent with the caliber of gun the shooter was using, but matched standard police issue.
Holy fuck, really? I didn't keep up with it at all, but that seems like a pretty significant indictment of the department and the officers there, way beyond even just the extremely laggardly response time and very poor tactical decision making. That's also what I would say is pretty definitive evidence, caliber mismatch isn't something you can really handwave away. Do you got any sources on deck for this?
