Doesn’t matter what he was doing with his hands at that point. It appears they might have tased him first, then shot him. Suspect was not obeying commands, continued toward the driver side of the vehicle until he reached the driver door and or possibly an open window. At that point they had to drop him.
100% good shoot!
Looked like a good shot to me too. As soon as he moved his arm down...they were in the right to do what was necessary. Having been trained every year for 25 years in the use of deadly force, I'd have shot him and been in the right.
Door was definitely closed. Front window definitely closed (see reflection at the 41 second mark). Back window looks closed, as well (some reflection off of it at the 40 second mark.) The timing of the shooting and the movement of the chopper, and the burden is going to be on the cops to explain this one away.
