Police blurred Smollett's face in the video that the I-Team obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request because at the time he was considered a victim.

recap from reddit -

Case Highlights. More sure to be released.

• Chicago Police released 69 hours of video related to Jussie Smollett's alleged hate crime case on Monday

• The trove of never-before-seen footage includes police bodycam video of officers finding Smollett with a noose around his neck

• In that clip he says that he kept the noose on because he wanted police 'to see it'

• Another shows the Osundairo brothers in a taxi on their way to meet Smollett on the night of the attack wearing hooded jackets and a ski mask at 1.22am

• A third clip shows the Osundairo brothers running on South Water Street at 2.01am, a minute after the alleged attack

• A fourth video shows cops arresting the Osundairo brothers on February 14

• The Empire actor had claimed that he was attacked by two men who launched racial and homophobic slurs at him and threw a noose on him on January 29

• Police later determined that he staged the attack and charged him with filing a false police report

• Those charges were subsequently dropped by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, sparking outrage and launching an investigation into her decision

• The release of the tapes comes days after a judge decided to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the Cook County prosecutor Kim Foxx work in the case

LOL

He's wearing a Noose 8 hours after the attack. He really is a special kind of asshole.

Looks like the local prosecutors dropped it due to political pressure so the state prosecutors have stepped in.

Good.

Good, hope they throw the book at him. It's a disgrace the first case was dropped

This pleases me.

Seems being friends with Democrats doesn't offer total immunity like it used to.

Can only be a good thing for law and order.

They forgot to mention he arranged the "attack" with some mates of his.

I'm glad the BBC told us he is black. Journalism at it's finest

If anyone wants a laugh - the “juicy smoolyay” piece that Dave Chappelle did in his last Netflix special is brilliant.
