The legal firm concluded that Cruise tried, but failed to point out the importance when technical errors happened.
The legal firm is a fucking paid shill and fixer. Their rationalization about the buffering of the video doesn't make any sense. And even if you could believe their excuse for the press conference, it doesn't explain why Cruise lied to the authorities also.
And yes, the legal firm hired by Cruise over the incident absolutely lambasted it for having serious corporate culture problems.
"lambasted" is not the word I'd use.
Any four-year-old would understand that the law firm completely lied about what happened during the press conference.
The authorities may have received the video later.
You're right. I may have jumped the gun in my outrage. But why not say so, and why not reschedule a second press conference where the real video is shown (but not given to the reporters).
And why wasn't the video leaked/published yet anyhow? Dozens of Unions, citizen's organizations, and tabloids are probably suing right now to get a copy of everything. If anyone in authority has ever been shown everything, mark my words, they're on the GM/Cruise payroll. Those cars were driving on our public streets unsupervised (and they're starting again in Arizona). We have every right to see what happened.
