I mean I guess the video doesnt really show the full context of the stop. We have no idea if Wright had the freshener up but took it down after he was first pulled over. I dont really see the lack of air freshener in the video as a major piece of evidence against the narrative about this arrest.
For most of the day, after watching the video, I've just been of the opinion Wright was getting jammed up a bit by the cops but nothing would have happened to him until he fought off the handcuffs and dove back into his car. Then Officer Wrongtaser came in with her firearm instead of a taser and shot him. Wright created a situation that justified escalation in force and, in that situation, the officer screwed up. Open and shut manslaughter. Everybody screwed up to some degree here. Nobody's a winner in this case.
I mean I watched the body cam footage but I wasn't paying attention for an air freshener, but now I understand your point. Thanks.
Folks on Twitter have posted screenshots (I think Posobiec might have retweeted one of them); there was no air freshener.

FFS, will you give up on the air freshener thing?! Once again, it has already been debunked! He was pulled over because of his expired license plate!
