This is one of the craziest ones yet. Asks the guy to get out his license. Shoots him dead as he does so, for the crime of not having his hands up. How can he have his hands up while he’s getting his license out?

If it weren’t all on film I would not believe it, also.

The gal was pretty calm during the filming and when she says that he was shot when he reached for the ID the cop screams that I told him to keep his hands up and she calmly claims no sir, you asked him to get his license.

I normally give LEOs the benefit of the doubt, but not in this case. This was a case of a total loss of control. This cop will face trial and likely go to prison. This guy followed everything to the letter: he told the cop he was carrying concealed, told him he was reaching for his ID, and he was summarily ventilated with no warning. The black community is rightly outraged. This was a bad shoot.

Makes me wonder how many people have died in the past at the hands of LE when cameras weren’t rolling.

The guy had a carry permit, too, so it is extremely unlikely he would have tried to pull his gun out and shoot the cop. Carry permit holders are among the most law abiding ctizens in the country.

Happened that way in SC last year. That man was lucky and survived.

Not clear if it actually happened that way in MN, if the woman’s account is accurate. But she is so much calmer than the police officer, who is in a panic.

That is not what has been shown on video. What was shown on video was the woman SAYING that is what happened.....unless you have seen something else, all I have seen is the aftermath of the shooting.
