It looks like the cop that shot him sees he is going for a gun, is trying to stop his right arm from entering his right pocket and then shoots him in the chest.

My thoughts as well.

How so? Looks like the bumper hindered them being able to restrain him. His right arm and hand is right by the damn gun in his pocket. It would take nothing for him to reach in his pocket and shoot one of the officers with a simple move of his wrist.

The way the cop comes in at the end and reaches straight into his pocket and pulls out the gun makes me believe that they knew exactly where the gun was. Whether they saw the gun or felt the gun while wrestling with him and whether he was reaching for the gun is still not clear.

In the way that you see a man with a gun shot wound in his chest.

Who else are you insinuating lied about him reaching for the gun then?

Did you read that article at the link?

What an unbelievable piece of shite to run an article on his wife. That is when you know the website will do anything for a click.

Yeah he didn't really have to do any searching... just pulled it right out.

i honestly don't know how anyone can watch that new video and not come to this conclusion. Unless they have ulterior motives.

Whatever was pulled from his pocket better be a gun or they are fricked. It's not clear to me what it is.

pretty sure it is

and at 8 seconds in that video you can see them see the gun and freak out

then they continue to struggle and tell him if he moves blah blah blah mach cop talk

then gun shots

this ain't one side or another. the first video looked much worse than thhis one

Yes let's not mention the guy shot in the chest sitting there dying.

I don't know about you, but I see that as pretty upsetting. I'm starting to see how some people are already de-valuing this man's humanity.

Yeah I said as much earlier. Like it or not, BR leaders and LSU leaders stole their thunder on most of this stuff and that should keep a cap on the situation.

yeah

this video actually is better for the cops

you can see more clearly why they are struggling to subdue him so much since he is up against the car and that they can't get his arm away from the gun, etc
