This is the horrific moment police shoot an unarmed disabled man seven times after suspecting he had a hostage in his trailer.

Jason Harley Kloepfer, 41, from North Carolina, US, was shot in the chest and arm after Cherokee County police responded to reports of a gunfire on December 12 at around 11pm.

Cops believed Kloepfer, who identifies as disabled, was the alleged gunman and holding a hostage inside his trailer - despite being inside with his wife.

In the shocking footage, Kloepfer is seen inside the trailer opening the door to police.

Kloepfer, and his wife Alison Mahler, both raise their hands in the air to show they are unarmed....

If they spent time at the FBI academy, the training really pays off...

"he “identifies as disabled” ? so is he or isn’t he?"
From the picture of his wounds, he is somewhat disabled now.

But no LEOs at all would be bad me thinks...

No LEOs at all would be like most of human history. "Progress" isn't always in a good direction.

Many police are anxiously waiting for their opportunity to shoot someone.

Same here. Between this and the Tyre Nichols situation, jeez.

It was a drone camera that the police sent into the trailer. He saw it, picked it up, didn’t know what it was, and was holding it when he went outside.

The drone in his hand probably looked like a gun to the cops.
