We have some potentially good defense lawyers on this thread spreading doubt to make the burden heavier for the prosecuting attorney.
A 6'3" 300 # guy is shown stealing cigars battery on a clerk and a few minutes later pulling a cop into his squad car beating him so badly that the cop sustained a broken jaw and eye socket while this big guy tries to take his gun.
When the cop moves to make a legal arrest based on this altercation the guy runs at him and was shot six times. To me it seems unusual that a guy with his hands up would be running toward the cop. It seems more likely the guy was running toward this cop with his hands in a position of grabbing onto this cop. If this guy was surrendering doesn't it appear he would be more caution and deliberate so that the cop would not mistake any of his moves
Shooting this guy six times doesn't seem unusual because that many shots is what may have been needed to take him down especially since the adrenalin was flow and he was juiced up.
given the beating cops are taking around the country about brutality its a wonder they all don't quit
