"Members of the media have asked if there was any other video from BART'scameras of the platform directly behind suspect Charles Hill. I wasmisinformed. The answer is yes. However, it does not have any evidentiaryvalue. The camera that recorded this video is located approximately 600feet away from the incident and on the opposite platform. We immediatelyturned this platform video over to the San Francisco Police Departmentafter the incident. BART's Independent Police Auditor also has a copy. Intheinterest of transparency, I'm ordering the immediate release of the video,which the public can view on BARTtv."
