7 minute video of UAW worker

The Real News Network host asks why there isn't more labor-union militancy? Part of the answer is anti-labor Republicans as evidenced by this internal-Senate-memo that was leaked (here or second-source of same). ---> "This is the democrats first opportunity to payoff organized labor after the election. This is a precursor to card check and other items. Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor, instead of taking their first blow from it." Again, source of quote is either of the following: http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/new-gop-memo-entitled-action-alert-abou or http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/12/1713569.aspx

Oklahoma cops refuse to release dashcam video of chokehold incident

This is the continuation of "Thug Cops."

If the purpose of the dashcam video's is to document what happened--then what's the problem with releasing the video? What are they hiding?
