you can clearly tell he wasn't aggressive or openly defiant as we've seen in other situations. the situation was handled totally wrong shoulda never had their fingers on the trigger

obviously but having him crawl over is standard procedure. that's all i'm saying.

they had him face down, feet crossed, and hands interlaced on his head lying feet away from them. They could have easily moved in, with weapons still drawn as well as tasers, and cuffed him, just like they do in a billion other situations.

they hadn't cleared the corner behind him. they wanted him to move to a closer so that they that wouldn't expose themselves to a position they couldn't watch without multitasking. that was the right move on their part. the shooting of him was not.

shots are fired after he brings an empty, open hand back in front of him

good judgement skills and reflexes

the cop deserves his punishment

it seems the police are taught to do a set of things very specifically. they reach for their waist? shoot them.
he obviously knew his hand was empty but in the heat of the moment i think he acted on what instincts the police academy put forth.

that, i think, is one of the biggest issues with the united states police. that and that they're taught to yell and assume everybody is a threat. that kind of thinking just reinforces his decision to shoot the man.

not to say that his actions were justified. police are not supposed to be above the law but it's clear that often times they are. if i'd shot a man for the same reason I believe that i'd almost certainly be facing murder charges. he needs to do time for this.

I dont see a problem here.

he's also being yelled at and is being told he's moments away from being killed. the dude's hysterically confused, he can't handle more than one instruction at a time. if they had simply told him what's going on and what to do he would probably still be here today.

i've literally been in this situation before and it's hard as forget to concentrate on how not to be murdered. it really is.
