The police “story” was that the two officer identified themselves and tried to talk to Ayers, and then Ayers fled.

But the video clearly shows that the cops had their guns out before Ayers fled, and that the one cop was running behind his car with a gun drawn before Ayers backed over him.

SO there is no way they were already talking to him BEFORE the confrontation started.

I think the cops ID’s the girl in the car and presumed the Pastor had something to do with it...then he backed up (justifiably, IMHO) to try and get away from what he thought were carjackers or thiefs, and they opened fire on him when one of theirs was bumped, or had his foot run over by the car.

You're confusing the issue with common sense ,, he had just gotten cash out of an ATM and had a bunch of wannabe gang bangers come to a screeching halt in a Cadillac Escalade with guns (doesn't that sound like something out of a bad movie?) drawn shouting at him to submit to their "authority" ,, the "cops" had no reason to believe that they wouldn't be taken seriously did they.. /s
