I totally agree. Again, why would the Police not release such a video as soon as they became aware of it? Why would they not make it known this wasn't an innocent kid walking down the street, but instead a crook escaping from the scene of a crime? It was incompetence on their part to withhold such info, IMO.
The police chief didn't cover himself in glory yesterday when he said "I've been sitting on this video"
Now I understand that when there are riots/looting, that takes priority, but the chief hasn't handled the PR aspects of this well at all.
