oh boy there are going to be people that want those cops badges.
The guy had both hands in the air and was surrendering and just got shot.

It looked to me like he had a gun in his right hand

Preliminary reports are that he had a gun and pointed it at officers. That's when 8-10 officers (nothing official yet) shot at him and he dropped.

[96z28ss]

yeah he might of had a gun after seeing it again.

It's hard to tell in the video, being black and white and so small, but I'm sure he had a gun or something that caused the officers to shoot him. Being in and around these situations I am still amazed at what people will do even when there are 10 guns pointed at them.

THEY DONT GET CAUGHT CAUSE THEY'RE SMART.

Yeah if 8 to 10 cops shot the guy...I'd say the chances are he had a gun.

[Bulldog68]

Yeah, looks like he had a gun. Of course, whether it was actually a gun in his hand or not, he jumped out of the car quickly and made a furtive movement with his one hand towards the officers (he wasn't raising his hands above his head as if surrendering). Given the circumstances, I'd say this is a good shoot. Congrats to the officers for acting appropriately and being able to go home to their families that day.

Can you tell I'm biased?

Maybe he shouldn't have robbed the bank and ran from police...that probably would have saved him from getting blown away.

Exactly.
