Didn’t the police department fired both the shooter and the officer giving the commands?

Sad situation. The shooting victim appears to be cooperating to the best of his ability, IMO. He was clearly terrified and distraught, and given the officers confusing demands, I’m not surprised he messed up.

To me the guy just acts like he’s given up and has no doubt he is about to get shot. Maybe instead of continuing to scream at an apparently terrified and confused person the cop could have de-escalated a little and possibly the guy would still be alive. I am a cop supporter but a bad shoot is a bad shoot and this one is bad.
