After reading the article, I was shocked to learn about this incident, but seeing the actual footage made me agree even more with the fact that YouTube and citizen journalists are very important to society and to the things that can happen within them.  If it weren't for this actual footage, that cop probably wouldn't have gone to jail.    

Just like in the first video of this post, the actual footage of the shooting was very shocking. With professional news media telling the story and the facts of the situation, might have helped a person understand more of the circumstances if they have not already heard of the incident.
