Yes. The full press conference with the uncut body cam footage is on YouTube. Everything you said is in the footage, I'll give a full narrative for those that don't want to watch it.
The officer arrives and hears the story from the woman who called 911. She says when she walks by she usually hears fighting but this time it was getting out of hand, and she couldn't tell where it came from. She tells the officer the room number and he goes to the 4th floor at the very end of the hallway.
The officer knocks without saying anything, steps 5 feet to the right out of sight, waits 10 seconds, knocks again and says who they are, then moves again. They knock and say who they are a third time, then the door opens slowly. The victim is holding a pistol limply by his side. Once it's fully open (about 3 seconds) the officer says to step back and immediately shoots 6 times and the victim falls to the floor, then the officer says to drop the weapon. He calls on the radio that shots were fired and requests the EMTs.
Because you have no rights once police get involved as their safety supersedes all our rights.
CNN posted a cut down version of the body cam footageWow, so at least the second time something like this has happened in my and recent-ish memory. Like almost to a T.
there is an uncut video of the body cam footage out there as well
I found a post on reddit that describes the full uncut body cam footage
I seriously wonder how these people escape violent reprisals from their victim's family. Like it happens so often. It just goes to show how much better the average person is then a copSimple: fear of reprisal from the cops . Police are known to circle the wagons and laser-target anyone who kills one of their number, even if the dead one was the most corrupt and criminal cop to ever live, and they are afforded a great deal of legal protection from the consequences of their actions on a normal day . Chances are, even killing a cop in self-defense, even if the officer's target was otherwise completely innocent, would see law enforcement lose any restraint they might have had in destroying them .
cops should have liability insurance and being a cop should require a bachelor's degree in anything. fucking art history or psychology or something my god.
All police related lawsuits should come directly from their pension funds.
Tax payers shouldn't foot the bill for bad cops.
