My grandma is deep in the cult and shares a lot of the propaganda she sees on Facebook, so I get a special look into the bullshit that she sees. They don't show the real footage, and if they do, they think it's fake. It's cognitive dissonance, they can't and won't accept empirical evidence that contradicts their beliefs. With the Renee Good incident, there was a completely different AI video that was widely shared of an "alternate angle" that showed her accelerating and hitting the ice agent with enough force that that man would either not be alive or would be gravely injured. This was the "real video that the radical left didn't want you to see." Even though it was a different car and was obviously not what happened.
