Yes, I am uneasy about this. Particularly given the audio where the cops start saying he is a big dude and probably on drugs. I've looked at two different videos and I can't see why the police shot the man, after they tased him and he was on the ground. It makes me wonder if there is something more to the story, because there were no less than 6 officers at the scene. The man did not appear to have committed a crime and one video I saw the man was walking away from police with his hands in the air.
I know the cops are on edge these days, worried about people taking a shot at them for no reason. But I keep thinking about that case that was either in Georgia or Alabama, where a black man had been in a car accident and went towards the police for help, only to be shot.
The Chief has promised a full, objective investigation. Let's hope he means it.
