The following is heard in the 911 call: “Put your hands where I can see them now. Drop it! Get on the ground! Get on the ground!”

So which command should Scott have followed?

During the inquest, Officer Mosher, omitted the "drop it" from his testimony. Don't know if it was intentional or not, but it points to the fact that even if Scott wasn't under the influence of anything, he was a dead man walking.

Too many conflicting orders and no way to comply.

During the inquest, Officer Mosher, omitted the "drop it" from his testimony.

Mosher testified that he didn't recall saying "drop it."

“Put your hands where I can see them now. Drop it! Get on the ground! Get on the ground!”

Shots were immediately fired after the above commands and were on the recording of the 911 call. The sequence of events according to testimony correlated with the 911 call recording would indicate that the gun and holster were likely in Scott's hand when Mosher said "drop it." Scott was not commanded to reach for the gun or to hand it over.
