True, and ultimately, that is one of the main reasons the officer was found not guilty. It was he said, she said and nine time out of ten the jury goes with the police on this… and rightly so. They have a terribly dangerous job.

Yes that is one of the reasons I got out of that job *smile* People just do not understand the quick decisions many that are under a lot of stress that police officers deal with on a daily basis. I am sure that as time goes on we will learn more of what actually happened in this case.

Well they released the dash cam video of the stop. It shows the shooting taking place. Yes he did tell the officer that he was armed. The officer said ok and told him to not to reach for it. You then see the suspect moving around and the officer tell him to stop reaching. The movement continues and the officer pulls his gun while telling him repeatedly to stop reaching for it. Then the shooting happened.

The fact that there was another officer on the sidewalk and the officer clearly told him to stop reaching for it tells me that the suspect did not follow the officers commands and put the officers life at risk. Seeing this video sheds more light on this case and I can see why he was found not guilty. People are already saying the officer murdered him for no cause. I think if he complied with what the officer was saying he would be alive today. Once you tell the officer you are armed you stop reaching for anything and listen to what the officer tells you. You do not keep moving around reaching for stuff as that will put your life and the officers life in danger.

The fact that there were two officers present. IF you watch the video the second officer is on the sidewalk checking out the other occupants of the vehicle. When the driver stopped complying with the officers demands you can see him backing up that is a clear sign that danger is present.

This is a tragedy all the way around. The officer will probably never be able to forget what happened. The family gets some money which is a poor substitute for their son. And the son lost his life. He definitely should have simply followed the instructions.
