This could spark riots in Chicago - don't know what to think here. What were the motives of the journalist using the FOIA here? Is the damage that may come from riots worth it? I don't think the outcome of the officer's trial is complete yet but if it was the case that the courts decided the officer was guilty, would releasing the videos be necessary / the right thing to do?

One assumes "to expose what looks like a pretty clear case of police overreaction / brutality which resulted in a clearly avoidable death".
