That was the hardest thing I’ve ever watched. What’s this “crawl toward me” crap? Can’t they just cuff them when they’re on the ground? He crawled like they told him, so they shot him, all the while begging “don’t shoot me”.
While not making a judgement on the shooting....cops are in an area they already secured....the room they were going to after detaining the two in hallway was not yet cleared.
You bring people to your “secured” location and do jot step into an unsecured (area in front of the motel room door) until the folks in hallway have been secured.
If you have seen police officers doing a felony stop on stolen car it is done same way...clear commands and call them to you.
The officer gave clear commmands....the kid was meltinh under the preasure and his intoxication (IMHO) and the cop did not modulate his tone which “MAY” have allowed the drunk and overwhelmed young man to relax a bit and successfully follow the commands.
