The national police union accuses the media of releasing a cropped (doctored) version of the full video:

National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) @GLFOP Police cars revolving light @cbsnews

, please correct the record!

Your video of an officer-involved shooting was cropped & didn’t include a key piece of evidence: the suspect holding a gun.

Warning sign To the Media Outlets: by editing or cropping this type of footage, you jeopardize the safety of our communities.

In that split second, I totally agree the officer would assume that pistol would be aimed at him as the kid finished his pivot. Enemedia will show the “hands up and empty” pic and hang the police with it.
