Did anybody ever say what the victim was reaching for? He was so determined to reach behind his back he must have had something.

No,they say he was unarmed.But that very foolish move,under the circumstances,was enough to put a "reasonable" cop in genuine fear.

His pants. They were falling down because he was trying to crawl with his legs crossed.

Because that was what he had been ordered to do.

Yes, he was reaching to pull up his shorts, which anyone with half a brain could have seen. When the first shots are fired his (empty) hand is already in plain view. This poor guy was scared out of his mind, drunk, and absolutely no threat to those officers. Five cops were there. Why did only one shoot? Because the others had common sense.

Watch the video - his shorts were falling down and he apparently reached behind himself reflexively to pull them up.
