The video does not show the wife and baby beater’s left hand as it was blocked by a utility pole. It is also not clear if he dropped his right hand after being shot or if he lowered it and was shot as a result.
An armed criminal who beat a woman and a baby and resisted arrest is dead. My tear ducts must be clogged because I can’t manage any tears for him

Perhaps you are correct, perhaps the police are telling the truth that he was a wife beater and hurt the child but, I have my doubts that it is that simple.
Whatever happened it looked like the bad guy gave up. He was standing still with his hands in the air and got shot dead. While the video we have does not show that as clear as we would like the video the police have shows it even more clearly that the cops erred.
Sometimes cops have a hard job to do, that is not an excuse to make life and death errors. Had the guy been arrested he likely would have received some counseling and perhaps lived happily ever after with the woman and kid, whatever happened it doesn’t look like he committed a capital crime, maybe the cops did. It is sad all the way around. The cops lives are likely ruined and so is the families.
