You can go to Youtube and find the original if you don’t believe this one, but I’ll go with this version from a generally pro-police former officer who is now a YouTuber:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm5SMurcZtM
1:02 - Driver out of vehicle, officer visible on other side of car.
1:10 - Officer on other side of car appears to be opening door and/or looking inside the window.
1:22 - “I’ll Tase ya!”
1:23 - Glock comes into frame, finger clearly visible inside trigger guard.
1:24 - Glock is in frame. Officer’s finger is clearly on the trigger.
1:25 - “I’ll Tase you!” Also at 1:25, she has already muzzle swept the closer officer’s arm once.
1:26 - She muzzle sweeps the closer officer’s leg.
1:28 - She shoots the driver without checking where the offside officer is at all. She’s also *very* close to the closer officer’s head.
1:31-1:32 - Car drives off and you can see that the other officer was directly across from her when she fired.
If you would like stills of the video at any point, please let me know.
This was primarily a training failure, then a leadership failure, but the officer herself bears much responsibility herself. You can see the other two officers are carrying crossdraw Tasers as is her department’s policy. Her hand never goes for crossdraw, it only goes for her Glock.
Thanks. It’s not often these days that a Freeper backs up a claim with this level of detail. Back in the day, it was not just commonplace. It was something you could count on like the sun rising in the east. Thanks again. This is a very sad and unfortunate thing. The female cop obviously never meant to kill the guy. But, her incompetence leads to a needless death. The guy killed from all accounts was a criminal loser but, did not deserve death simply because of this fact.
In the current hyper-politicized society we live in this incident, unfortunately, serves to help the WE HATE COPS wing of the Democrat Party. Her accidental incompetence will result in her spending many years in prison if she even manages to survive her incarceration. A sad thing all around.
