The family requested that the Sheriff's Office withhold the body cam footage, which it can legally do while the investigation is ongoing.
body cam release policy, which applies to incidents when someone suffers serious bodily injury or death at the hands of law enforcement or while in the county’s custody, calls for video to be released within 10 days.
But releasing the video quickly did little to quell the family’s concerns that Johnson didn’t have a gun. As it always does, SAPD redacted and edited the audio — often 911 calls — and selected portions of video from body cams and dash cams to combine into a single video narrated by SAPD staff. The clips are then shown again without narration.
Both the Sheriff’s Office and SAPD offer to show the family of those injured or killed in an incident before releasing it to the public. Commissioners Court approved the 10-day policy last December. Previously, the department processed requests for body camera footage on a case-by-case basis. “You have an officer that’s telling the audience what to look for, from their perspective, which is very jaded to begin with and very problematic,” Tomas said.
Councilman Jalen McKee Rodriguez , who made police reform a key part of his campaign platform, said he will be pursuing a 10-day policy for SAPD.
