34. do you mean surveillance videos?

I don't think they'll be anymore clear or revealing rather than someone up close with a cellphone camera. My problem with the video in the article is that CNN stuck a bunch of graphics right over the part that needs to be seen to tell what was going on. Though surveillance videos would probably show the "before" encounter with the guy than this one which shows nothing of that I'm not seeing them being anymore clear at what was happening that this video showed and it will likely be much worse... have you seen examples of surveillance videos?

At this point I'd just like to see a video where you can see what's happening without a mess of company graphics blocking that.
