I knew it was coming the officer said she meant to pull out her taser
If she meant to pull out her taser, why did no one rush to his aid? They show no concern for him whatsoever.

I really hope the family is able to use a physician or clinic to have his blood tested. I wouldn't put it past LE to plant the drugs and the ME to 'say' yeah, he had drugs in his system. Nope, I wouldn't put it past them at all.
In the video, his hands clearly were not up while at the driver's door. The question is timing.
He was shot in the upper right chest from the side. That shot did not pass through his arm. The conclusion is that at least his right arm was up when he was shot.
He definitely didn't deserve to be shot; however , it might be considered a lawful shooting once more details come out.
We need to change government by reducing its power and these policing agencies in order to prevent these shootings, even if they are deemed lawful.
yeah...
I just feel that sometimes (sometimes, not all the time) police officers perhaps minic military tactics. I am not an expert, but it looks like they shoot in order to eliminate the threat.
as I posted earlier,
If you want to mimic military tactics you have to also meet certain thresholds and put yourself into different mindsets. Combat troops have rules of engagement, they were specifically ordered to hold fire until they TOOK direct fire. That means you have to put your ass on the line a little bit before engaging, in order to confirm hostile intent. Then you take out an enemy target.
Just my opinion. Of course it is always easier for me to play keyboard warrior lol I don't know the solution. I just found this video to be pretty sad.

The car window was closed so he couldn't be reaching into his car.

Stand perpendicular to a mirror with your arm to your side. You will see your chest. Stand perpendicular to me with your arm down, and I could shoot you in the chest.

It is clear in one of the videos that his arm was down near his pocket when he was shot.
Although, maybe not this time. While the BLM riots may fly in some places, that ain't gonna fly in ridiculously-conservative Oklahoma.
Also, if there is already a thread on this, send me a link to it.
Of course she SAYS he was unarmed. They also said that Mike Brown's hands were up in surrender and Darren Wilson executed him in cold blood. They also said Freddie Gray never tried to hurt himself before. Hmmmm........
If your car breaks down, do you expect the police to hold you at gun point?
I'm still trying to understand why there was so many officers and a helicopter for a stalled car. It doesn't make sense.
