The video doesn't jibe with either story. He wasn't charging anyone - how could he in that snow - but he does appear to be reaching for something, but again, nothing terribly conclusive. So, both sides will be pointing at the video and saying "I told you so".

He should not have driven away from the stop.

People see what they want to see.

We have many posters here who should run to Ferguson and continue chants about Michael Brown. That was felony fleeing in a vehicle and he jumped out and ran away instead of giving himself up. He had by my count many minutes to comply with the officers and he did reach for something, but I am sure several folks will be here shortly to call me a bootlicker and proclaim this is murder. It’s really fascinating that the only person killed was the one who drove away at high speed, wrecked into a snowbank, and jumped out of the vehicle while armed. The rest were not killed, yet many otherwise rational people here will proclaim over and over that it was cold blooded murder.

The same posters who claim murder might be the same ones who said not releasing the video was proof of their conspiracy. A few will probably suggest that the camera being behind the trees earlier covered up some other nefarious action by law enforcement.

People see what they want to see. That is the nature of conspiracy and the world we live in.

Didn’t see any charging from him, but if you want to stay alive around cops with guns, you have to keep your hands as high as possible and don’t bring them down no matter what orders you may have heard.

Assuming that video is reliable — LAPD would have dropped him under the same situation.

Most interesting thing to me was the guy hiding in the woods.
