As someone who vividly remember the Michael Brown Ferguson fiasco, this is true.
In the past, the serious accusation would be the charge against the police the media would tout and run with for weeks. The police didn't release anything or evidence until the court case to preserve it, but doing so allowed the MSM and nogs to gin up the community that the police was racis'. At most you would get grainy CCTV footage from the store or local place where the shooting/beating/arrest took place. It wasn't until the court case with a jury and public primed for a narrative that all the evidence was released, which caused its own headaches.
Now police can just release the bodycam footage with a few redactions and leave the rest for the jury to hear later. Given how poorly black people react to police, this has been a huge benefit to police and a massive liability for dindus trying to subvert the narrative. The footage has brought forth many memes, sympathy for police and entrainment for the public.
