Had it not been for private CCTV released to the press, that is where the story would have stayed. It's only through the private CCTV recording that questions were asked and despite video evidence Police continued to try and cover themselves with lies until somebody in Police realised they have to admit to something ...
Police, over a fair number of incidents have lost a lot of public trust (I no long trust them and my mis-trust has gradually sunk to "rock-bottom"). Without such public video evidence I believe we'd just be getting lies and cover-ups.
Specific to the dog video it absolutely demonstrates the dogs were calm, looking to owner for guidance and not out to attack.
One aspect that's worth considering is how the ability to replay many times and to slow the action affects our interpretation of people's thoughts and intentions. There's an early study from the USA in a legal setting where it appears to cause witnesses to over-interpret intent. This seems plausible.
I'm particularly interested in this because of the need to reduce brain injury in rugby. Intent is currently relevant in some versions of the assessment schema used by officials.
Slo-mo great for the 'was the player in touch?' type queries, not so good for other matters, IMHO.
