Police won’t release the footage until they have completed an investigation
They say that way they can contextualize the footage for the officers and for the victim, therefore painting a clearer picture of what really happened

Police are refusing to release body camera video of Salt Lake City officers shooting and critically injuring a 17-year-old Somali refugee.

Authorities have declined to release the footage from Saturday’s shooting until they finish investigating.

Keeping it private until investigators have sifted through the evidence to put the video in context is fairer to officers and the victim, said Unified Police Detective Ken Hansen, whose department is investigating.
