Damn right. Fuck all this "I'll take the FBI's word" business. We, as a society, and the families of the injured and deceased deserve cold, hard evidence.
The proper approach would of course be to first look at the evidence and then draw the conclusion instead of assuming a conspiracy and then look for evidence that supports that assumption.
I mean...If it's fake, someone will point it out. That's just what it is. But on the other hand, how many videos have been faked or destroyed by the feds? This type of manipulation happens extremely often. I can't speak for all critical thinkers, but if "they" present a video that is 100% legitimate, I'll accept that but I will definitely turn to the fact that these kids were under the influence of something that prevented them from making their own decisions. So yeah, you're honestly kind of right:/
If our government was more transparent about these things in the first place, so many people wouldn't have doubts. People doubt the American government and its intelligence agencies for very legitimate and evidence based reasons.
I was thinking this same thing during the manhunt. Every extreme sport Shawn white wannabe has a gopro camera. Officers should have to implement them and they should be used for evidence. We should demand to see what they see firsthand.
You really need to quit assuming that they are just going to give the public every video and picture they have. It is evidence and needs to be used in the trial. I really don't understand why you guys can't understand this. I must have said this 5 times just today. Evidence people Evidence!!

And what if a dashcam video is presented? Do you believe the conspiracy theorists will say "Thanks, guess I was wrong all along. Never mind"?
They will make up shitty theories about why the videos are fake.

Swat was there in seconds. Police in the shoot out were numerous. No way this kid just "got away" it is insane...

They aren't even done with flight 77, aurora or sandy hook yet. This will have to suffice.

Lots of police have actual cameras on their persons. We should ask for both the dash cam and the field cam.

Do it. Call the FBI and ask. Please report back what they say.

Such proof is only required for internet claims. It does not transcend t to real world situations anymore. The rabble rule is in effect.

You deserve them. They cannot release the video before it's used in trial. It's called jury contamination.
The FBI would only be hurt by releasing the video early. Let me explain:
Literally the only benefit would be that it would shut up the non-believers. But:

Speaking of following proper procedure, what about the whole fourth amendment thing?
Just an opinion, man?

Lately a lot of Americans' rights and opinions have "meant nothing" for them...

We have no right to see that footage. We also don't have rights if they endanger others. People here don't seem to understand that.

Hard to release that which doesn't exist.

We'll never see it

Those dashcams are not provided in this live movie.
