no no I’m saying that these videos just make the situation worse because
a) no clear evidence of a gun(which we already knew)
b) it appears he was walking backwards when shot...
maybe thats why the chief didn’t want to release them
Let’s walk back to the wife video, mark 1:58 until the end
Look at the man in red. Look between his feet. He is clearly straddling (protecting) the gun until the detectives get there.

now forward to the copcam - mark 0:17, the man has exited his car and has an object in his hands, turns to see copcam, turns and walks backward from the three officers
and the dashcam - mark 0:51 - left arm is up towards passengersidecop, notices copcam mark 0:52, and cop to the side behind the pickup, arms down, walks backward - imo, he is trying to ‘stage’ - using distance to get a clear shot at any of the three cops in front of him. This is about the time the wife is repeating ‘don’t do it’.
