In the video (and narratives) I’ve heard and seen, you can hear 5 shots from what sounds to be one weapon, and then 3 shots from a second weapon.
The narratives I’ve read state the man with AK-47 (or in this article “AK-47 styled weapon”) fired rounds first - then pointed his weapon at the guy in the car, who discharged his own personal pistol, striking and killing the original shooter.
That pretty much would make a open and shut case for self defense.
(I am not a lawyer, though).
My question I this:
Was it a real AK-47 (ie an illegal weapon) or was it an AK-47 STYLE weapon? A long gun with a banana style clip that is actually a semi automatic(totally legal)?
IF it was an illegal weapon(a gun that can switch between semi automatic and automatic machine gun fire) where did this protestor get this weapon? Better call the ATF, don’t you think?
About Austin Police Department system:
Hitachi Vantara’s solution for APD’s Phases I and II is based on Hitachi Visualization Platform (HVP), specifically edge-capture camera pods. HVP enables edge recording and analytical capabilities for remote video surveillance. With built-in 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS and optional wireless point-to-point and copper connectivity, HVP is widely used for public safety objects and integrates with nearly all critical platforms.
Essential to meeting APD goals for HALO, Hitachi Visualization Platform embeds technical sophistication into rugged thermoplastic pod enclosures that are ideal for rapid deployment in any climate, on any pole or building. These camera pods support:
Gunshot detection, to convey the location of gunfire using acoustic and optical sensors.
License-plate recognition (LPR) using high-definition and 3 megapixels (MP) for high capture rates even in low-light conditions.
Radioactive isotope detection, which helps sense, interdict and potentially prevent an attack using radioactive materials.
Video-management systems, access control, and radar.
Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and 911 systems.
Video analytics, intelligent routing, bonding and failover.
Cloud-managed bandwidth monitoring and configuration.
Third-party cameras.
