Serves no interest to the public who pays for these bodycams. Yeah right.
"We can't release the footage, it would be dangerous."
But the family agreed to release it.
"Not dangerous for them, dangerous for me!"
Whole thing seems like a poorly written SNL skit.

"If you don't have anything to hide, what are you afraid of?" ;)
Man, the world has gotten to the point where obvious logical inconsistencies don't even register as surprising anymore. Somewhere in my brain I still know that they should but I'm so desensitized to them that I can't even laugh about how absurd they are.
Hate to break it to you, but the world has always been full of logical inconsistencies and you are just more aware of them as more information has become available.
I'm well aware of that. That doesn't change the fact that I was raised to expect them to be dealt with rationally once recognized. Most of us were.
Being told that anything will be dealt with rationally is actually one of the logical inconsistencies.
OK Mr. Contrarian. You're right and I'm wrong. Now that we've established that please find something interesting to contribute to the discussion or move on.

Dangerous for their ability to keep their jobs and reputation.
Skill issue + ACAB
The RPD pointed out that an attorney for the Abbouds had released home security footage of the raid online, which the police said made releasing the body camera footage redundant. At the same time, the RPD claimed that releasing the body camera footage might expose confidential information about search warrant execution or damage officers’ reputations.
You busted in a door and pointed an AR-15 at a baby. Your reputation should be fucking damaged.
Raleigh police “wrongfully executed a ‘Quick Knock’ warrant”—meaning they kicked in the door before the Abbouds had a chance to open it[...]
This is just a no-knock raid. Let's not pretend knocking on a door a half second before pulling out the battering ram is some magical third category of warrant: no-knock raids should be banned, and whatever the fuck these cops did should be considered a no-knock.
Somehow the "your honor, the evidence will damage my reputation" seems to be work quite well when you're a cop or millionaire.
I went to their Facebook page and nobody in Raleigh seems to even know this happened.
Can confirm. I live in Raleigh, and this is the first I'm hearing about this.
