walking away from officers and toward his SUV with his hands up before he approaches the driver’s side door, where he drops to the ground after being shocked with a stun gun then fatally shot.

What shoddy, dangerously shoddy reporting. No one can tell from this video whether he was tazered, or not. I don't think so. Sounds like a gunshot to me, on Video 1, before he fell down.

It also looks to me that he was lowering his hands, perhaps trying to open his car door when the shot was fired. Hard to tell for sure.

Looks like a bad shooting.... Tazer should have been used first. But, this is not "murder". Manslaughter, maybe. Or, negligent homicide. But, not murder.

So are you saying that officer Tyler Turnbough didn’t taze him before the other officer shot him?

8 months later, the officer is ACQUITTED... As usual, the DA over-charged. But, with all the evidence presented, no jury could convict this officer.
