How anyone can draw a definitive opinion from just that video is beyond me. It looks to me like it could have been an accidental shooting. It also could have been justified. It also could have been a murder. The video itself is not enough. You can see the guy struggling with the police. He was not co-operating as the reporters and witnesses say. He is clearly fighting against the cops who are restraining him. Yes at the begining of the video he does put his hands up, but then he starts getting up and starts struggling. You can't see if he was pulling a gun on the cops, you can't see clearly enough what he was doing, only that he was obviously not co-operating. Contrary to what the reporters and the lawyer say. There's not enough here to make a concrete descision one way or the other. An investigation needs to take place and it needs to go to trial. Why do people seem to think that a blurry video of what may have been an accident, a murder, or a justified shooting, but in no way is definitive from the video itself is somehow justification for them to go out and commit crimes. i am so stunned at this i cant beleive someone would write this you have to be kidding me police arent gods they work for us damn it we pay there salaries You are obviously seeing something I am not. I cannot see both of his hands the entire time he is struggling with them. For all any of us know he could have had a gun in his hand and was fighting to point it at one of the officers. If that was the case then that cop has every damn right to empty his clip into the guy. Your ignorance amazes me. These men and women on the force put thier lives on the line every day for your benefit, and you spit on them and feel you have the right because "we pay thier saleries". I doubt you would have the courage to do what they do.

And you also believe in the Easter Bunny! Explain to this forum how a man on his stomach could be a danger to a "crowd" of police officers (because there were more than 5)Were they in danger from their victim who could have harmed them by letting off a fart that is equivalent to atomic proportions? ....... Just a thought There were 2 cops in contact with him, not 5. He very well could have had a gun or knife in one of his hands when he was shot. Don't be so stupid. There could have been 500 cops there and yes, one guy can still be a threat. The video fails to answer far to many questions to draw any conclusion from it. Hell this guy died? looked to me like the cop shot him in the ass. But then I can't even tell if the guy was still face down by the time he was shot. I am more shocked that the cop that fired did so in such proximity to his partner. Best guess, either the officer fired unintentionally, or the suspect got ahold of a weapon. All he had to do was get one of his hands on the other cops gun while they were struggling with him and I would not fault the other officer for shooting him right then and there.
