FK I'm trying to understand your point. 

Are you appalled b/c the DOJ advised not to release it to the public, because the video is subject to the freedom of information act, and you think DOJ is violating such a law?  Or maybe the store owner released it??  or Are you appalled b/c the DOJ advised not to release the video b/c they felt it would only worsen the situation, which it did?

I thought that the Ferguson PD made the decision to release the video, even though they knew that the officer had no knowledge of Brown and friend allegedly taking the cigars.  How is that a violation of the freedom of information act to recommend to law enforcement that they themselves not release the video?  Did the video belong to a gov't agency?  Did it fall within an exception of public records not subject to release?  Did someone ask the gov't for the video?  Did the gov't refuse?   Would the Ferguson police normally proactively release such a video to the press? 

Please explain FK.

Please read....obviously you didn't the first time! :

"...Friday's release of the store-theft video by Ferguson police occurred over the objections of federal authorities, a law enforcement official told CNN on Saturday.
Ferguson police had wanted to release the video Thursday but held off when the U.S. Justice Department asked them not to, arguing that doing so would increase tensions in the community, the source said.
But Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released it Friday, announcing for the first time that Brown was suspected of stealing cigars from Ferguson Market and Liquor shortly before noon August 9, minutes before Wilson encountered and shot him.

MSNBC Contributor Goldie Taylor commented:

And why would the Obama administration not want the video to come into the public view?

It's notable that the community was demanding more and more transparency from the police department, but this video was kept under wraps until nearly a week of rioting and confrontation had gone by.

The Obama administration wanted to put a lid on that transparency, and ironically, this only suits a political agenda of further stoking racial tension. So much for the "most transparent administration ever."
