Jamal Osman, a councilman for Minneapolis, criticized law police on Sunday after a video of the collision began to go viral on social media.

He says top investigators assured him that the video would not be released until the family had viewed it, though he doesn’t explain why he thinks it originated from law enforcement.

“The dissemination of such sensitive and distressing material without proper consideration for the grieving family’s privacy is deeply concerning and unacceptable,” Osman said.

Additionally, he promises to ask questions of Mayor Jacob Frey, Metro Transit Police, and the Public Safety staff, in addition to Police Chief Brian Ohara.
