There is a flaw in your "logic". You are assuming 126 videos were all police videos. Now remember this was in Vegas. Casino have cameras everywhere covering everything they legally can. I would lay odds that almost all of those videos were not from police body cams.

The USA today reported 2 days after incident that the Police had collected 861 videos, and I'm sure they have more by now. Of course, given the their idiotic, unusual and outrageous public stance it's actually a conflict of interest for them to continue investigating.
So, you actually do not know. You are assuming and pushing that out as fact.
Really wish people could be thrown in jail for lying and/or misleading. Maybe we would then see some honor in this world instead of emotionally charged people twisting things to agenda. Tired of it, absolutely tired of it.

If I were to similarly take your statement ["You are assuming and pushing out as fact"] out of context and state you are stating this as a fact, I'd be acting within the parameters of your logic. But, those are actually conclusions based on what you portend to assert as a misrepresentation my part.
Of course to run your little gambit, you had to pull one sentence out of context of all I stated on the subject and then you built your argument on that . This is called a strawman.
FACT IS I wrote stuff that
you left out of your little gambit, to wit: "The LVMPD stated it has 126 dash and body cam videos of the alleged shooting and this is all they got that portends to show the appropriateness of their behavior? 126 videos! What is that 30-40+ cars and 80+ cops? All these cops activated 126 video cams to run…but oops the one guy, the one effing cop, that could prove Bennett’s a liar had his off.
What an amazing coincidence, simply amazing. However, what does Malcolm Nance teach us? Answer: coincidences take an awful lot of planning [Emphasis added]."
Its quite clear to many, if not mostly all, the disappeared cam video was not being "pushing out" as any uncontrovertible fact; but a conclusion based on the circumstances.
And emotional? I dont think so, emotional argument is one that cannot be supported by facts, logic and reason. If one takes the uncontroverted listed facts, the unusual/squirrelly way the LVMPD is acting and apply the doctrine of Res ipsa loquitur; a jury could easily conclude the cam was intentionally left off or its contents concealed. My conclusion is based on fact, sound rational logic and legal principles.
And let's look at your little gambit here. You ask a simple question in a way that purports to look like you're seeking further understanding. I then take the time out of my life to elucidate this to you; because it is what a kind, open-minded, helpful, patriotic American does😂. But, you didn;t ask the question for understanding, did ya? You were plotting and scheming searching for a gotchya moment, weren't you 😂?
Since, you speak of honor, If I had such a circumstance here's how I'd honorably handle it: "Do I understand you correctly? The way I'm reading what you wrote, you seem to be stating the nonexistence of this video as a fact, do you have any inside info?"
And I think subjecting someone to criminal prosecution and incarcerating for purportedly misleading on a Packer Forum is not a position that can be supported with rationality and legal acumen...maybe its a tad emotional, just a tad😂. Oh and maybe you wont be so "tired of it," if you had respect for disagreement and really really tried to set aside the biases that we all have and WORK to see another's POV.
I think this underscores why the Anthem protests are so contentious. People are losing the ability to be civil in disagreement, which undermines a basic American tenant [A peaceful transition of power]. The Party's have to fight to the death, compromise is gone and their willing to break the law to "WIN." Black's are being brutalized by cops on the street, nothing is being done, so Protest comes. Rather than listening, compromising, trying to find areas of agreement, America is searching for ways to DEFEAT the protest instead of searching for a solution and trying to accommodate. America better wake-up before there is no America.
