The jury is only shown a tiny portion of the video where the suspect reaches to pull up his pants and they shoot. They do not get to see the entire thing. The courts have incentives to protect their servants.

Also the one barking commands is not phillip

According to the article the jury didn't see any of the body cam video. The police should be mandated to release it if there are any court actions involved.

You're being disingenuous accusing courts of protecting the police. It's the police department itself that is doing that.

Every police department should be required to have a civilian review board with the final authority to render judgement on the behavior of officers.

The major crime here was the police department allowing the guy to be rehired temporarily just so he could apply for medical disability. That's an outrage.
