Incorrect description of events. 911 calls claimed he was driving in oncoming traffic. Also calls claimed vehicle abandoned in center of road. 1 minute and 30 seconds of footage is not shown before helicopter came in. Man came up behind her while she was investigating the car spooking her and he was not obeying instructions earlier repeatedly going for his pockets. He did walk to car with hands up despite police yelling stop. He did bring his hands down and reach for driver door handle with right hand w/left hand seeming to go into the vehicle. He was under PCP influence and it was determined to be the case. She shot him same time he was tasered. Not separately. Regardless of all this I don’t get why police procedure does not include tasing him before he got near his car door. Makes no sense to let him have chance to reach for a gun.
Taser is useless when perp is full of PCP.
Looking at the totality of the circumstances, reaching into his pockets alone makes a pretty good case for making a reasonable officer feel threatened.
Don’t be surprised if Officer Shelby is tried in federal court.
