Actually when that footage was finally released by the DA In MN, he said they hadn't released it earlier in order to not jeopardize a "SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION" !
But before that the video was made available to all media for viewing, in July 2020. Twenty reporters went and watched it. And all they reported from it was that the officer pointed a gun at him. And it leaked to the nets a couple weeks later. All this covered in this July video: https://youtu.be/rk559iNM2kk
