that in 2011, when EVERYONE has an HD video camera in their pocket in the form of a cell phone, that not one video of this incident has made it out anywhere? Hell...any time you hear about some bit of police brutality reported in the news, one YouTube search provides multiple angles of said event. And given that there was/are no shortage of people popping up all over claiming to have either been there or knowing someone who was if there was footage there would have been no reason not to have posted it that night or the next morning.

Not really suggesting anything with this...just seems a bit odd that a bunch of college students standing around watching what has been alleged to have been a small to large group of LSU Football players in a fight with another group of college students would not have reached into a pocket or purse and filmed what was going on.

Yeah...I can see that in terms of the beginning of the story we're seeing spread. The bits about the trying to get out of the parking lot and honking and all...no reason anyone but a crazed fan would be filming that.

But once the scuffle started? Dunno...maybe.

Either party's lawyer may have it -- why would you give this to the BR media?

20 LSU football players there and none of them have a cell phone/ Ipod???

I do find this strange. Would not find it all odd to learn that the video is poor, doesn't really capture what happened, etc., but I suspect there is some video of the incident or its aftermath.

They may...but what I'm suggesting is that if there were a video of it that confirmed the story, I think we'd have seen it posted that night or the next morning...there was certainly no shortage of people running to the interwebs to tell their stories...why not add video too, unless it maybe didn't match the tale?
