Except one of the commands that witness heard was "Drop it!"
You know what I do if cops points a gun at me shouting three different commands? I put my hands up, palms toward him and don't move a muscle until they calms down. They'll arrest me for "not obeying police" or even "restisting arrest" but if they blow me away and the cruiser camara catches it, at least they'll be doing some hard time.
Wasn't this case a lesson to us ? So what if the cruiser camera catches it. Do you think the cops would just give it to the media, to prove they murdered you?
Have you seen the video from COSTCO yet ? It's been weeks now.
And the idea they would be doing hard time. Heck, we've caught the President breaking the law and ignoring our Constitution, and he's still there. We have top politicians in all states caught in deep corruption, and they are still in office.
Prosecutors, Police Captains, individual cops, all who have enough 'power' to get away with crime.
