The Louisiana case is not clear cut. The felon resisted and had to be taken down. There’s a good chance the cops noticed the gun at that time, and when they were having trouble restraining his arms, that’s when one cop drew his weapon. At that time (the video is not clear on this because you can’t see the felon’s right arm), the felon might have gone for his gun, so the cop shot him.
In the Minnesota case, we have no idea of what happened prior to the shooting. Maybe the woman is telling the truth, but we can see that she couldn’t see if the guy was getting his wallet or his gun since she was driving and the gun was on the guy’s right side. The cop there could see, however. The question is was it a good shoot or a bad decision by the cop.
The Louisiana case is different because the cops were sent to deal with an armed perp; whether they saw the gun or not, they had already been told he was armed.
For this one in Minnesota, we’ll see what turns up; if the cop is wrong then hang him.
I understand the cops were wearing body cams, but had them/it knocked loose. But, it kept recording video and audio of the incident.
Why would the victim want to pull a gun on the cop for an alleged broken tail light?
