Glad you're OK, though, Bass. I also agree w/ others that it seems like video turned over at the scene should be admissible in a criminal trial, if there were to be one.
Of course the police in this case weren't willing to take it that far. Not to justify anyone's actions or belittle your situation (I mean, my blood boils just reading your story), but I think that the cop's reaction to just take statements and get you two away from each other is pretty much what I'd expect. Their number one job, after all, is to keep the peace, not overload the DA's office w/ criminal cases.
