Don't see a thread on this.

article

quote:

Officers arrived at an apartment complex at 2601 South Pleasant Valley Road on Friday evening, after receiving a 911 call saying people might be doing drugs in a parking lot and a man was reportedly holding a gun, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said in a press conference. Based on a description of the individuals’ vehicle, he said, police had reason to believe the same car was involved in an incident the day before in which the person driving evaded officers.

When police arrived, the man got out of the vehicle and put his hands in the air. Manley said the man was not complying with the officers’ commands, and an officer shot a “bean bag” shotgun at him. The man then returned to his vehicle and began driving away. Another officer then shot his rifle at the vehicle, which crashed into a parked car. The man was taken to the hospital, where he died.

Another angle in first comment

What do you think?

It baffles me why people still refuse to listen to police shouting at them with guns drawn.

Your "video" link is to a statement by the police department, not a video of anyone shooting anything.

Right below that is the video. It's not the best quality of video, but at first glance it looks like the guy has his hands up and then is shot.

Cops: Comply or you will get shot.

Suspect: I will not comply.

Cops: *shoots*

Damn, so he got shot while having his hands up and then somehow gets in his car and drives off and they start unloading on him as he drives off. That's wild.

I love how these idiots say they murdered him. He refused to comply and had a weapon. They gave him a warning shot with a bean bag and he tried to drive off. If the man wanted to live all he needed to do was follow simple and common sense orders. This was Suicide by cop.

I gotta say, that looks bad for the cops depending on where he was driving his car. Hard to tell for sure in that video.

It was a bean bag shot, not a real bullet.

I am missing why it matters where he was driving his car?
