The deputies also blocked the front and back of the stolen vehicle to stop it from moving, Nieves said.

As the deputies gave their commands, they noticed some movement inside the stolen vehicle.

Bartee, the driver, then tried to move the stolen vehicle, despite being blocked by deputies, Nieves said.

The driver's hands continued to move in and out of plain view."


Imagine...you are called because a car has been stolen. You see these two jump in the car and hands disappear. We never have threads about the police shootings that take place at night but when you are a cop and in that situation....well, leave it to ex cops to respond, but that is scary. You must know where everyone is and where there hands are inside that car.

Your statement was EXTREMELY MISLEADING and inflamatory. That is the kind of OMISSIONS that so many in the media make....the leaders of certain movements, etc because it serves their purpose. Why you omittted the circumstances involved and instead made into something it was not.

Then in your opinion, based on these circumstances he was justified in shooting? I do not agree.
