Supposedly video will be released "later today".
Connecting dots is not fact. It's supposition...
I'm not opposed to supposition for discussions sake, but painting supposition as fact reveals an agenda.

^^^^This
That video is going to be really interesting. I just have a feeling...
The attorney for the family wouldn't release the vid. My guess having to do with a pending civil suit. One would think there was some survailence tAken but who knows?
On a side note: it's a shame that all the good things that LEOs do never makes the news, only this stuff. If five men, LEOs or not, beat a man to death then they need to go to jail.

Thank you Bun.
I wonder if the cops were thinking the domestic was between the husband and wife and not the daughter and wife in a dispute with the father playing peacemaker? It would be an easy assumption for LE to make that a woman in distress trying to leave but her husband chasing after her warranted intervention. Really in a way, the mother and daughter really bear some responsibility in this by not being able to keep a cool head or at least keep their domestic dispute in their home rather than in public. I'm not trying to monday morning quarterback this thing because its a very bad deal for all parties involved. It will be interesting to see what this story develops in the way of details and evidence.
