I don’t think it’s a gun, it is after the hands up frame, where his hands are empty, and after he’s been shot.
Right, I don’t either, it is likely the high contrast shadow from a bright flashlight or something, but my point is...
Why are we blaming a cop who may have a family and a life, to have to make a split second decision in a dimly lit alley after a pounding foot chase with someone known to have fired a weapon?
What if that shadow IS a gun? I am angry that we put our law enforcement personnel into these situations by making it an impossible choice.
