"In the footage, a witness can be heard saying "put your hands up" and "he's reaching again." But it's not obvious what exactly the man was doing with his hands just before the shots rang out."

If you look at the video closely you can see him reaching towards his waist/pocket. Now I personally do not see a firearm however the man shot himself earlier and the police supposedly found "The handicapped man, Jeremy McDole, was armed with a .38-caliber gun"

If he shot himself earlier and that was the reason the police were called if they see him reaching instead of doing what he was instructed to do then the cops are going to fire the man did have multiple chances to put his hands up. The worst thing to do is reach anywhere whether it be on your or in a car, etc unless the officer instructs you to.

Yeah I know the points you've documented here. In terms of police action, they're valid provided the actions are warranted.

In my views, the Issue Is If he was armed with a gun, where Is It? It wasn't seen In the video footage and wasn't found after. Agree, he didn't put his hands up when asked, but that doesn't give reason to shoot him dead when there's no direct threat to the police nor anyone else around him. I'm not saying his noncompliance Is justified, but more so the fact that he was shot dead on circumstantial grounds.

honestly cops are either getting really out of hand... or more people are just recording...
