why did the sound cut out around 8:49? Are we missing part of the interview?

@JonDGee: No, that's the whole interview. As you probably noticed, the audio & video are out of synch. So the audio ends @ around 8:49, before the video actually ends.

I just don't understand this. Where there any repercussions for these officers.

Today I heard a story about a ban on realistic-looking toy guns being banned because a police officer shot a boy. When will the paradigm shift?
