was he reaching to show he was disarming himself?
his hands were going to an area where a weapon might have been, if he was explaining he was armed and not trying to pull it, he would have reached there

but that was way too quick, I think that if he showed a weapon, the cops in front of him would have shot, not the cop in the back

they shot too soon, looks like. Still, he did reach for something

Hard to tell, but it looks like he was shot in the back

I thought I read he “charged at them”. Can’t do much charging in waist deep snow. And they may have been telling him to disarm himself and when he tried that they murdered him.

Hard to say. He was looking around as if responding to different people. It did look like he reached, but it’s been widely noted he carried on his hip. He looked like he was stumbling around a bit in the snow. He shouldn’t have rabbitted.

Looks like they blew him away as he was stumbling through the snow.

Roadblock wasn’t set up or conducted very well. Watch him go off the road. I think he hit one of the cops.

I know there’s backstory, but it’s still pretty universal...don’t run from the police, don’t wave guns around at the police, don’t charge or drive at the police. Let the lawyers fight about it.

The armed standoff, the guns, the talk, I’m glad it didn’t end worse.

I still think he hit a cop, and since we aren’t hearing about it, I think the guy must be ok. He might have had a different take on how dangerous the driver was.

The left handed LEO that came from the left and shot him in the back looked like he was shooting toward the other LEO's behind the light pickup with a camper shell on it.

The lefty was shooting crazy
