“Jesse tossed it before he was shot”
possible sequence:
1)perp fires shot behind him towards corner and turns forward, facing away from corner
2)cop rounds corner
3)perp turns around to face corner again w/gun still in hand
4)cop fires.
Only problem I see is cop says “get down” after he fires.
Nevertheless, can’t say good/bad shoot w/out seeing actual orientation of perp when shots fired. W/o know anymore I’d take the cop’s word on this one because of the shot first fired.
If it’s shown that the gun was fired, then I’m OK with the kid getting shot. Whether he tossed the gun just before getting shot is irrelevant — the cop would have had to hesitate a second to look at the teen’s hands, and register whether they happened to be empty, which is long enough for the cop to get hit.
