The footage of the incident had not been released until now, almost 11 months later. CBS News had inquired to Col. Edmonson at the time what exactly it was that Christopher Few had done to be stopped by the police. Edmonson had hesitated in making a straight comment, instead giving the following reply.

“I think the rest of the investigation tells us that. I mean, we’ve got to look at everyone involved, and we’ll get to the part of that, but what we learned from the very first night, what we heard an hour after that, was that they were trying to effect an arrest warrant on a traffic stop. Not factual. Not factual.”
