Across the country, videos of extreme police brutality and murder exist, but are being concealed by police departments, prosecutors, and even media organizations. For nearly nine months, a deeply disturbing video of the Salt Lake City, Utah, police killing of Dillon Taylor existed, but was concealed not only by police and the district attorney, but even by the Salt Lake City Tribune.

In the video, we learned that Taylor, unarmed and committing no crime, posed no real threat to the officer and was listening to music on his headphones. We also witnessed the gruesome aftermath of what it truly looks like when someone is shot at point blank range by the police and then summarily treated like a criminal. It's one of the worst things you'll ever see in your life and should inform how you feel about the true impact of police brutality."

Ultimately, it's my strong belief that every video of police brutality and murder should be released immediately—not after prosecutors decide not to do anything, not after all charges are dropped, but as soon as it is humanly possible to load them to YouTube. The videos are public property, paid for by tax dollars, and inform the public far better than fictional press releases ever will.

Sadly, the Taylor video was not the only video being concealed by police and prosecutors. Below we will include a list of every police violence video that we know exists that people in power refuse to release."
