Video shows cop shoot without warning at man firing into air

[PTWB]

223. I see where we're getting off track.

You're under the impression that what you see has any bearing. It doesn't. You're seeing what happened through the lens of a camera that is mounted far below the officer's eye level. You admitted that you have no idea how tall the officer is and you have no idea what the officer could see at the time the shooting took place.

1. The officer was responding to a shots fired call.

2. Prior to the shooting the officer said on his radio that he saw the suspect with a rifle.

3. He said he could see the suspect's head over the fence. If he could see the suspect's head, he could certainly see a rifle aimed at an upward angle which would extend far above the suspect's head.

3. The officer heard gunshots prior to the shooting.

5. The suspect's wife said the suspect was armed with a rifle.

6. The investigators found the rifle in question.

Suggesting that the officer couldn't have known the suspect was shooting at the time this took place is simply contrary to reality based on the evidence we have.
