Not sure how you saw much of anything. I watched the shooting a few times and noticed that the police opened fire when he swerved toward them, almost menacing or daring them to shoot, which they did.
The beginning of the video has the "videographer" walking up to a situation where the "thief" has placed two canned drinks on the curb and is just standing there. For anyone who didn't watch the video, there's nothing explicitly graphic about it (i.e. blood), but you do watch someone being killed, which is pretty messed up.
The thug taping this whole thing exemplifies the problem with American society. You should be talking to your neighbors and trying to "talk them off the ledge" before they even get to the point of police action. Return the damn drinks and walk away, and the most that would've happened is that the store owner would've been asked if he wanted to press charges.
Yeah, why didn’t Cellphone Man try to help a brother? It was all S***s & Giggles until the Po-lice arrived. What’s that? Cellphone Man didn’t want to approach the Crazy Mo Fo either? At least he went home safe.
