completely untrue. BG’s friend went and got him.
I didn’t see any friend on the scene.
At the appearance of the gun he backed up and turned to move farther awy.
Watch the whole tape from the beginning.
It's actually pretty wild.
Basically, the family pulls up, and the kid and the father get out and go into the store [30 seconds].
As the door of the store is literally closing, the sh*tbird "parking space cop" pulls off the street as he appears to be on his way home. It looks like a last-second decision on his part - another instant and he would have had to go through the intersection instead.
He pulls up perpendicular to the "violator" car without actually parking, then goes and inspects first the rear of the vehcile and then the front of the vehicle for handicapped stickers.
Then he starts what he's been waiting for - the "CONFRONTATION". All this happens in about 45 seconds since he arrived.
Meanwhile, other vehicles are pulling up and parking, and another is getting ready to leave.
Parking lot cop gets a look or two from AALL of them, because he's apparently quite loud, with gesticulations.
One of the new arrivals (a guy), appears to go inside and tip off the boyfriend.
The boyfriend pops out the door [time from his entrance to the store and then exit - 2 minutes flat].
He walks up to parking lot cop and shoves him to the ground.
Then, he gets shot.
Total elapsed time from the time the family pulled in to the parking lot till the father gets shot - 2 minutes, 45 seconds.
Parking lot cop is a fast worker.
=============
I say it's wild because of all the stuff that could have prevented "toting dude" from starting the sh*t.
> He might have been distracted, and gone through the intersection instead
> A car pulling out almost blocked Drejka from pulling in
> Had the father been 5 seconds slower out of the car, he would have been there for the beginning of the tirade
> There were a couple of big dudes with a tow truck parked right next to where the action was at that got in their vehicle and left just as Drejka was pulling up
