He didn't have it to begin with. How could he drop something he wasn't holding? We need a better angle to see if he was indeed transferring from one hand to the other.
‘we need a better angle...’ I’m sorry, the only angle that matters is from the cop’s perspective.
Honestly, I don’t see anything there that deserves use of deadly force. That being said, officers additionally made poor choices in having a suspect reach for a firearm in a very uncontrolled place with far too many innocents around.
Were I on the jury, I’d vote for conviction. Unusual that a video which pretty much doesn’t help officers is released.
