Right now the entirety of the judgement being made here is the driver’s own video stream that begins after the shooting. We might want to wait to learn what circumstances initiated the traffic stop and what transpired in the moments just before the shooting that prompted the driver to begin streamcasting to Facebook.

The woman said in her Facebook stream that the reason the police pulled her over was for a broken taillight and you’re taking her word for it. Other video from a nearby homeowner shows her taillights are apparently working just fine. But hold your thoughts on that for a moment.

I’m a bit suspicious of the presence of several police cruisers at the scene immediately after the shooting while the dying man still has a gun trained on him by the policeman who shot him. This was apparently a traffic stop involving several police cruisers. That suggests a planned felony stop. It took several minutes for other cruisers to appear blocking the boulevard when they had a casualty. The other cruisers were already present at the time of the shooting.

Well, what could it possibly be that made this stop go so wrong? I think we might want to question why the dead man’s personal Facebook page was deactivated so suddenly. There’s sites out there who screen-ripped his Facebook page before it was taken down that apparently show the dead man had gang and drug ties, a criminal arrest record, and his network of friends are likewise removing negative images and commentary from their pages that feature him in a negative light. If that’s all legitimate, of course.

Too many people are just presuming he was a lawful citizen and a legitimate CCW holder based upon his girlfriend’s claims made on viral video.

Yes, this shooting appears very bad and will certainly blow up into national attention, but better wait on this one. I am merely saying that the police won’t talk their way out of this one easily, but this could possibly be another Eric Brown incident unfolding slowly.
