I'm pretty sure that releasing the body cam footage (evidence) to the public before the trial would interfere with the officer's rights to a fair trial... it would further influence any perspective jurors before they are even chosen. Any lawyers want to chime in on that?
You called out nothing but your own ignorance, you prissy little fuckboy. Even in Commiefornia, police departments can delay the release of footage for 45 days if it would interfere with the investigation or in the defendant's right to a fair trial. It doesn't matter what has already been released by third parties and what the public's opinion is, they're not going to release every scrap of evidence to the public before the trial.
Perhaps you should move to a communist country if you believe we no longer have the right to a fair trial. You'd fit right in.

Doesn't seem like a uniform practice. Lots of PDs release cam footage within days.
When the incident is not going to trial, sure.
Exactly.
I mean the news hasnt really covered it or anything so the jury pool hasnt been tainted yet.
Oh wait...
...and if the MSM had the body cam footage too, they would edit it to tell the narrative they want it to tell. Use your fucking head.
Typical emotional reaction when your lack of logic is called out and put on display.
