No. The videos show the man backing up with his arms raised. You CAN'T
hear what the police are telling him to do.


Now do you think it's typical for cops in that situation to tell the
perp, just walk away from us?

Typical?

You've made assumptions as to WHAT the cop was saying to the man. Why?
There is no evidence that anything you've assumed was said, ACTUALLY WAS
said.

OTOH, the video evidence SHOWS the event as it happened.


Go back to your car, go right on up
to the driver's door, so you can flee?

You've really no idea what was said, but, you're willing to make
assumptions.

OTOH, you can't describe the actual event as it happened based on video
evidence because you want to wait for "evidence"??

Good grief.

Yeah. Good grief, you're deductive reasoning skills suck.


And note that I'm not the one drawing the conclusions about
what happened without the facts, you are. The testimony of the officers,
any witnesses, any recordings would all come into play and almost
certainly show that the perp, loaded up on PCP was disobeying the police
commands. But of course, you can't and won't wait for any of that.

The ONLY thing that means anything is that video evidence. It doesn't
matter if the man had PCP in his blood. He had his arms up, was not
aggressive towards the cops, and nothing he had physically done was
cause for lethal force.
