She livestreamed it on Facebook so there were dozens of people watching as it unfolded. That’s why she gives her location, asking people to come to where she’s at once they put her in the back of the police car with her daughter (who was in the backseat).
Lavish said her boyfriend had a CC permit and told the officer, who advised him to keep his hands in sight - and the boyfriend immediately started doing something with his hands other than what was directed by officer.
No, the female said the LEO asked for his ID and registration. According the the female, it sounds like he was reaching for his ID and that might be when the shooting occurred. Remember, if the female is correct, they were simply pulled over for a tail light infraction. Sounds like the LEOs weapon came out in a split second and possibly while he was reaching for his ID while telling the cop he had a weapon/permit.

I’m not going to defend the cop without knowing all the details, but how many times can cops see other cops killed on the news during traffic stops without wondering when their own number is up? If the above statement is true (that he ignored the instructions to keep his hands in sight and ignored that command) and on video, there is no way to convict the cop.
