I also wonder what he means by his son being “slightly intoxicated.” Was he over the limit, or not?

It makes no difference whatsoever whether he was sober, "slightly intoxicated" or fall down drunk. His son was handcuffed with his hands behind his back when "an officer had put his gun up directly to Michael’s right temple and misfired, then did it again, and shot him."

I am trying to understand how someone with his hands cuffed behind his back can be considered a threat. Maybe in the movies, but in real life? Isn’t that why suspects are cuffed in the first place, to remove the danger and control the situation?

It’s one side of the story. It would be good to get the other side, too.
