The video was released just now(30 minutes ago ). Police statement is he was at the correct unit. I havent watched the bodycam yet. Supposedly, on the video, he talks to a woman in the complex who says the unit is 1401 and theres a disturbance sounds like a DV, and heard like a slap. This is all from the news article not me

On camera, 1401 is clearly visible. He knocks and announces himself as police twice. The airmen opens the door with a gun in his hand and is shot. I guess theres a lot of confusion about wtf happened here. Again, all on the article not me

My thing from the video comments, is he didnt issue any verbal commands before shooting. And if hes responding to what sounds like a domestic, where is his back. Shouldnt be going to that alone


I saw the video too. The officer did announce himself. The guy opens the door with a gun pointed at the floor directly down and holding his other hand up in a kind of take it easy gesture. It didnt look like he was posing a threat even with the gun in his hand. The cop opens fire immediately.

It looks bad on the cop and is a really sad set of events.
