That doesn’t look good. It sure looks like they could have tased him... but they shot him instead.
Even if he was a dangerous guy, his hands were clearly up in the air.
I/m having a hard time seeing a justification for deadly force here.
It looks like he brought his hands down right before he was shot. On top of that he was not following commands.
Reaching into the vehicle:
ID..?
Shotgun...?
Not good.
Looks like he lowered his right arm after he got to the side of the car. His left arm remained up, but his right arm reached down. Because the camera view rotates from one side of the car to the other, it’s difficult to determine what he was doing, or if he ever put his right arm back onto the car. I’ll withhold any comment until the facts are fully known.
Looks like a ‘quick - swing the chopper around so the car blocks him so we can claim he was going for a gun when we shot him. Get the firing squad lined up and wait till the chopper swings around so the car is blocking, then fire away.’
Impossible to tell what happened from an aerial shot like this, and on top of it, he is almost completely hidden by his vehicle when he gets felled as the aerial shot is on the opposite side of the vehicle from the person.
You are correct, but.
What is wrong with this dumbass cop.
You feel threatened a little with a passel of your compadres around,
Shoot the guy in the foot,knee, but kill him?
In this troubled time when everyone has their spotlight on this kind of crap.
So as to make a racial incident?
Come on coppers.
RULE #1.....When a cop tells you to stop....STOP, RULE #2....when a cop tells you to raise or show your hands, DO IT. IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW HIS/HER INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER, YOU MIGHT BE INJURED OR KILLED.....THAT’S THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.

Might be overlaps/dupes.
Expect the media to try to pivot from terrorism (bad for Hillary) to this.
Yep. The kenyan will be wee weed up and on TV first thing in the morning about this.
I saw this on the NBC news tonight. The officer was almost certainly lying about him “not showing his hands”.
Another woman who should not be a cop.
Personally, I don’t see how Hillary benefits from any of these cases, no matter the circumstances. If there’s a clear case of murder, as was the case in South Carolina, there’s really no controversy about it, it becomes a nonissue. But in the vast majority of the rest of cases, it looks like the “victim” brought it upon themselves in some way. If the election comes down to who is with the cops versus who is with the miscreants of varying degrees of culpability who end up getting shot by the cops, Hillary does not win that.
So did the hysterical lady cop shoot him after he was already on the ground after being tazed?
White broncos have bad ju-ju.
