    What exactly does this video show that is different from the original?

    It's just a different POV. There's almost nothing new here.

    It shows that the officer lost his cool and definitely escalated the situation.

    Which were all false which came out by the perjury charge and his dismissal.

    Subjective takes aside, nothing new is shown or known. This entire interaction, audio and all, was already there in the dashcam footage which has been public for 3 years. It's literally just a different point of view (from the driver's seat). This changes absolutely nothing. If you didn't think the officer "lost his cool/escalated the situation" before this, there is no reason you would think so after viewing this video.

    No, the perjury charge was related to the following:

    The charge resulted from his statement in an affidavit that his reason for removing Bland from her car was "to further conduct a safe traffic investigation". The grand jury found that statement to be false, according to a special prosecutor.

    I can agree with above but the charge encompasses that he had no reason to remove her from the car which was my point.

    A Reminder. . . . . there is literally Nothing so minor .. . . that a cop will not kill you over it
    Every . . .EVERY Encounter with a police officer is a potential life or death situation
    esp if you are a minority

    Deal with cops like any predator . . . .. . Never forget they are what they are . . . . .

    You don’t post as often as in the past. But if a black person dies from unique circumstances you’ll be here quickly to remind us all of this wisdom. Bravo. (RollingMyF’ingEyes)
