After reviewing the footage I took today, I have elected not to post it, as I don& #39;t think it adds anything new to the narrative that I cannot simply describe using my words. So I will describe/transcribe the conversation.
I had a conversation with one of the cops involved immediately after the shooting. I had my phone out recording. He was aggressively trying to explain to the crowd what had happened, and asked me to make sure I record the gun on the ground next to the man.
Me: Are you aware that what you did is illegal under the new policy set by the Mayor? That brandishing your weapon like that escalates the situation?
Badge 4843: He shot himself.
Me: But you came running him up with your gun pointed at him
4843: He murdered someone
Badge 4843: He shot himself.

4843: He murdered someone
Me: That& #39;s an illegal use of force.
4843: *silence*
He turned toward others in the crowd, continually pointing his finger at his mouth and making a gunshot motion while saying "He shot himself. He shot himself in the head."
