Even with the faces blurred you see a victim in the hallway they step over... this shouldn't be shown in respect to the victims and their families... Releasing the footage does more harm than good IMO... A child seeing this could be very traumatic for them, it's traumatic for adults. Where does it end? the line keeps being pushed it seems.

Plus, it gives intel to future shooters as to the tactics of the police. Which they'd likely uncover anyway if they really wanted that information.
