The griev­ing fa­ther of 31-year-old Joshua Sama­roo, who was killed in a po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in St Au­gus­tine last week, is re­ject­ing Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der’s sug­ges­tion that laws may be need­ed to lim­it the post­ing of po­lice videos on so­cial me­dia.

Christo­pher Sama­roo said any at­tempt to re­strict such footage would on­ly deep­en pub­lic mis­trust and shield wrong­do­ing.

“I think the op­po­site,” Sama­roo told re­porters on Wednes­day. “Videos should be shown so peo­ple can see the truth of what is tak­ing place.”
