You know why you don't real ease footage right away. Because doing a PROPER investigation is more important than a bunch spoiled people not involved in the event who think they have a right to that instantly.
You see, it's proven that an eyewitness to an event will often change their testimony, even subconsciously, if they hear other people's versions or see videos. So it's important to get all your witness testimony from people as quickly as possible before they get influenced by other versions.
Not releasing the video until you get all the witness statements is one way to protect the integrity of the investigation. That way nobody gets influenced by it.
And that's a bigger priority than satisfying a bunch of spoiled people demanding instant access to information just because.
