The city of Charlotte (where I used to live and worked until I moved overseas) has a lot of blacks and black leadership, the guy was shot by a black cop for crying out loud. Yet the people targeted by the mob? White people.... a serious disconnect here.
Not only that, but why release the video when even in clear cut videos like the one in Tulsa people see different things? In the Tulsa video, I saw a black male refuse to follow any instruction and do what he pleased even at the risk of the officers present. You saw a man with his hands in the air and one that posed no threat to the officers. So releasing a video will only validate whichever side you are on, and not actually exonerate anyone.
Nothing in the video showed that. That is what the officer said happened BEFORE the video. So if that is what you saw it's not just people seeing "different things"...its wrong.
Nonetheless whether you want to believe in the other side's cause or not protests are not bad. Violence, rioting, looting...all those things are horrible and do nothing to forward any conversation or ideas.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
