In football, the instant replay may be used to validate or overturn a call made by a referee. There are specific rules on how that is to be done.
The instant replay technology is fairly new, but there have always been referees.
Not so in use of force incidents. There are no referees.
There may or may not be eyewitnesses or earwitnesses for part of an event. Some of them may or may not be unbiased. and some of them may actually be able to reliably recall what they saw.
That is not something upon which one wants to count.
When someone says "that man threatened me with a knife on my own property" that may or may not be true, and it may or not be believed.
People should remember that before asserting "if it's a good shoot...".
Instant replay? Well, the existence of a video record can certainly influence things.
