According to research published by Dan Bromberg, Director of Academic Programs at the Carsey School, and Étienne Charbonneau, Canada Research Chair in Comparative Public Management at École nationale d'administration publique, how quickly the media and the public get access to recordings of fatal police shootings depends on local police department policies. People are willing to wait until after an internal police investigation — but then they want the footage made public.
