Just watching the video, that is pretty much my take on it too.

Rule one. When cops are pointing guns at you, don’t reach inside your jacket.

Everyone there knew this was being filmed. I doubt if anyone was going to try to take this guy out unless they could objectively show that they were in immediate danger of death or severe bodily injury.

The movement before the fatal shot was objectively an offensive move.

They all knew that he had publicly stated that he would not be taken alive.

No matter how you feel about the politics of the situation, unless they can show that he was shot with a bullet while his hands were up and he was yelling, “don’t shoot. I surrender,” nobody is going to be prosecuted except the other people in the truck.

It’s a truly sad situation. There was no exit plan for this refuge takeover. LaVoy had publicly expressed his own exit plan and he carried it out.

I know.

Incoming.

Anyway it shows LaVoy getting out with hands up then being shot from the right after several steps by an officer that quickly turned and retreated. LaVoy appeared to point toward who shot him saying "he shot me" and then reached to where he was shot (rt Hip). he was then tased from behind and shot while down. The woman reported the taser wires were retrieved. She has a narrative of LaVoys comments but don't know how.

Yes, you're correct.

It's clear that there was no Taser. And no wires.
