Good God. That's raw video, not what they're showing on the news. Follow through to FB to view, because it won't embed.

Couldn't watch the video but I grew up there. Never had a problem with S. Whithall police

Good shoot!

Sounds like the deceased may have been not of the clear minded type.

Good shoot!

But zero apparent Taser or other intermediary step. I'm waiting for the body cam footage.

You know what gets me? I just watched a bunch of videos from a guy on YouTube named Patty Mayo. He’s a bail bond agent (bounty hunter). In the videos, every single guy he goes after resists or flat out tries to attack him. He is armed with a taser and a Glock. I saw him shoot the taser once and that was after about 10 minutes of him backing off and evading attacks from suspects. He has had dudes wield weapons against him, throw fists, threaten him, and he won’t even use the taser. Yet, these cops are mowing dudes down because they aren’t following commands. Sounds like a bunch of ego getting thrown into the mix.

Tazer or OC? It’s hard to tell if he was armed. Not enough information for me to comment.

Apparently, neither. It seems to have gone right to firearm without a non-lethal attempt. As I said, let's see the body cam.
