When you reach for your gun while be restrained by Police and being told not to move you will get shot, permit, record, or not.

Notice that the officers do not have a gun drawn until Sterling reaches for a gun and the officer says "He's got a gun, he's got a gun!"

I hit post too soon on the above. The above is raw video posted at USAToday.com but with no reporting attached. This video has more reporting and combines the original video along with reporting.(CNN)

New video shows shooting of Alton Sterling

The camera pans away when shots are fired but you can see the officer roll off of Sterling and then you hear "Get on the ground" and one then three shots. The article states he did have one shot to the back. Meaning he had to of gotten up or attempted to get up. Then you see an officer remove a gun from the right hand pocket.
