GREENSBORO, N.C. — A video involving an incident with the Greensboro city manager and his family is set to be released on March 4, according to an attorney with the Greensboro Police Officer’s Association.
WFMY News 2 crews are working to learn more about how much of the 9-hour footage will be released.
On Dec. 28, Greensboro police responded to a family dispute at city manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba's home —it is still not clear what happened, but he had minor injuries.
In court Monday, there were attorneys for the News and Record, and the Greensboro Police Officers Association as well as attorneys for the City of Greensboro and the Chief of Police.
"If body worn camera is to be released, unless there's an active criminal investigation, or unless there is some threat of safety of officers, we want it fully released to everyone," said Greensboro Police Officers Association attorney, Amiel Rossabi.
Andrea Harrell, Police Department Attorney said, "The police chief certainly wants to relay the precedent it would set to release this video. Any time police come to your house for a private domestic incident it may be out there like reality TV. That is not a precedent that we want to set here in Greensboro, and I think that's weighed against even wanting to call the police to your house."
A judge ruled last Monday for the body camera footage to be released to the city council.
This came after the council petitioned the court to release part of the footage to only council members.
