I don’t think we can discount that he was wearing a gun in a holster. BUT did he make a motion toward it when he got out of the vehicle? Earlier pictures taken of him show that he was clearly carrying a weapon so it must have been SOP for him. I wish none of them had left armed that night. Might have been a different outcome. I haven’t read that the ones arrested that night had any weapons on them...so it would be strange if he was the only one who had a weapon.

Video or no sale.

The reports that support law enforcement appear to be from someone who self-admittedly could not see the event, but were pieced together second or third hand.

Your spamming on all of this does not speak well of you.

Roxie Hart: [singing] “Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both, oh yes we both, oh yes we both reached for the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun. Oh, yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun.”

They can save their eyewitness reports and any other BS. Release the video(s) and any forensic evidence.
I wouldn’t take the “most transparent administration”’s word on anything.

Forensic evidence is evidence obtained by scientific methods such as ballistics, blood test, and DNA test and used in court. Forensic evidence often helps to establish the guilt or innocence of possible suspects. Analysis of forensic evidence is used in the investigation and prosecution of civil as well as criminal proceedings. Forensic evidence can be used to link crimes that are thought to be related to one another.
