The chief administrator of the agency that reviews Chicago police misconduct says publicly releasing information about 100 cases is "an important first step" toward rebuilding trust in police.
The Independent Police Review Authority released videos, audio recordings, police reports and other materials on Friday.
Chief Administrator Sharon Fairley says it's clear the city has struggled with questions about policing and police accountability and releasing the information helps increase transparency.
She says the release of the video isn't a gauge of an investigation into an officer's behavior. She also cautions that the videos only tell part of the story and don't have the wider context.
