We first reported that this footage was set to be released on Monday following the family viewing but that never happened. Yesterday, our sources told us that the Atlanta Police Department (and likely the Memphis Police Department) was preparing for major protests over the weekend. Sounds like MPD wanted to give major cities advance notice so they could prepare for streets flooded with angry citizens who are tired of their bulls**t. This could turn into a very fraught weekend in AmeriKKKa. Be safe, everybody.
CNN is reporting that Executive Director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association Laura Cooper has confirmed that several phone calls have been organized to get the boys in blue on the same page.
