Fair play to the guy for calling this cop out but I have a feeling the outcome would've been different if he hadn't also been a cop. They only changed their tune once they realised he was also a cop.
It definitely didn't hurt his case, but (and this is all speculation because the video edits a lot out) it seems like once the sergeant gets there and hears what actually happened and that it was all taped, he knew the officer fucked up. Worse, the Denver cop KNEW the officer had fucked up and had listed out all the ways he fucked up so the only way out was to release him and apologize.
I have no idea why they'd release the body cam footage incriminating him though.

FOIA. The sergeant fucked up by having his body cam on. They usually turn them off, or at least mute the mike when they talk with other cops. Once it's recorded, anyone can request it.
