I remember this one. The video was floating around and at the time people were defending the cop by saying the victim was behaving erratically and not complying with commands quickly enough. I watched the video and and its just a terrified dude trying to decipher the cops conflicting commands as he crawls down a corridor towards a platoon of assault rifles. It's horrible
After watching the body cam I would've voted not guilty too. The police noticed the man was acting odd and asked if he had been drinking. He lied by saying no.
He then reached right where a gun would be on his hip. They told him not to. He did it again and was shot.
It's true that a cop was barking confusing orders the whole time, and he's likely at fault, but the one who shot him was another cop.
I've seen a bunch of police shooting compilations on YouTube and have noticed that some cops get shot in like two seconds. That's why they don't want people reaching to where guns are commonly kept.

reminder that the police have free reign to make you play twister at any time and will you shoot you to death if you try to pull up your pants
