The press claims Hall was backing up because the dog approached him, but the video shows Hall moving sideways and back the instant the dog left the car. The dog wasn't approaching Hall when Hall moved backward; the dog was running straight ahead.

When the dog left the car Hall is backing up while the dog is not headed towards him like you said. Then they both go out of view. When they come back in view Hall is backing up and the dog is moving quickly towards him. Then he shoots point blank as he is backing up and the dog is headed straight at him. He is not lying about that.

Yes.

Then they both go out of view. When they come back in view Hall is backing up and the dog is moving quickly towards him.

Hall's positioning itself would make that impossible. What you're saying is Hall backed out of view and then "backed" back into view?? Have you read the internal investigation report? Which direction is Hall headed in the instant the dog leaves the car?

I am not going to argue the facts of this clip. That's for lawyers if this gets that far. I see from the clip Hall moving into view of the camera from his right the instant the dog leaves the car. (More sideways than backward.) I then see him step forward with his gun leveled on the approaching dog. The dog falls.

Short story: one....two....boom.
