From the transcript
This was an instance where someone made a well-intentioned but mistaken call, and when it was brought to our attention, it was quickly corrected. It was not taken because anyone was because it was critical of the chief or because they were critical of the police department or because they used work session video or because anyone wanted to silence the press. It was because of an attempt to make sure that the body cam footage which had been posted with a copyright notice was not edited in a misleading way. But when that was brought to the municipal attorney's attention, I think they correctly advised that that is not a grounds to file a First Amendment request in the Facebook situation. So that request was withdrawn, and again, the video has been restored.
