Is the body camera video helpful in this police shooting?

Asked by funkdaddy (17777points) January 24th, 2015

A 21-year old was shot by Muskogee police after threatening his girlfriend via phone and showing up where she was. He had a gun, and a cell phone in his pocket, he ran after being approached by an officer.

Something fell out of the pocket which he bent down to pick up and then was shot by the officer. The encounter was caught on the officer’s body camera.

The video below is the footage from the officer’s body camera, please be aware it shows someone being shot and killed.

Here is the video

the dead man went to my high school, that’s a little too close, I might just stay out of this one…
