Now, these guys have a rallying cause and the authorities have less control of the message.
I understand your point here but I disagree with how this video will play out. The video clearly shows that the guy wasn't on his knees with his hands up and executed in cold blood as the "eyewitnesses" (according to those friendly to him) had described. The authorities have literally ALL of the control now as they can refute any claim by stating "here is where we pulled them over, here is where they instead decided to begin a dangerous high speed chase, and here is where the man that had already threatened to shoot any federal agents or cops that were in his way decided to reach into his jacket." Anyone with any sense has to realize that the federal agents and cops on the scene had every right to act in self-defense given the situation.

I agree that's what a non-militia normal person would think. But what about the miltia guys that supported them that weren't actually on site? Are they supposed to trust a grainy audioless video from a helicopter narrated by agents they don't believe?
This would be better handled by releasing bodycam footage with audio. I think that would calm a lot more people than what has been put out now because of the arguments you made above.
