If the door was open why were they seen (second witness) tussling through the window? If the door was opened (intentionally or not, being intentionally to hurt them or non-intentionally to talk to them so the officer could get out of the car), if the door was open, why tussle through the window? How can a cop grab a guy (or why the hell would he want to?) through a window? A cop can’t arrest a guy through a window and If, IF a shot was fired in the car, it might make sense that the cop did that because he was on the losing end of a fight. Not saying THAT was called for, back up could have taken care of that or if they have automatic windows, raise it and let the guy get stuck.
It’s possible he opened the door to talk (or to hit with door) and the deceased slammed shut the door, which would require a warning to the deceased, you just don’t do that), but I’m not buying that the Cop in a seat with limited mobility and not being safe for either him, the deceased or the public, and a guy that big, that a cop with one or two arms, in a seat, dragged this guy into the window. Unless demonstrated by a 6’4” 300 lb guy, with a cop of the same height/weight/strength of the shooting cop and the same Police vehicle, will I believe that part. Make NO sense. The shooting in the back, that far away, makes NO sense, even if the guy assaulted the cop, back up could have solved the problem of arresting him for assault. That he was shot like that, if correct, was NOT Good nor called for.
OK....statistically speaking...the cop was most likelyright handed...placing his service weapon on his right side....far enough away that it couldn’t be grabbed from outside the vehicle.....so the cop HAD to have drawn his own weapon first...
