Cops Want to Kill Blacks and Any Excuse Will Do: Video Shows White Denver Cop Shoot Black Man After He Put Gun Down, Put Hands Up. In Disregard of Life Cops Shot in Front of a Crowd, Hit 6 Bystanders
/From [HERE] and [HERE] The Denver Police Department has released the bodycam video of the police shooting that left six bystanders injured in Lower Downtown on July 17.
Police say they shot Jordan Waddy after he pointed a gun at them. But the newly released video tells a different story, as it shows Waddy tossing his gun and putting his hands up just as officers began firing.
Bodycam video shows Waddy pulling the handgun from the lefthand side of his hoodie and throwing it onto the ground as he raises both hands into the air before police began firing at him from the front and the side.
Yamilette Bravo said “He did put the gun down, he threw it down and he backed away. He was in a surrendering position and yet they still shot,” Bravo said.
“There are so many civilians in that area, you basically shot innocent people. Why couldn’t you think of different ways?” Murillo inquired after watching the video.
Both students say the trust is trying, especially after seeing this video, which has now led to many people wondering what to do in this situation.
Guadalupe Murillo observed: “He did surrender, he did what almost everyone should do and officers still shot him, which is very disturbing for me.”
“I think also punishment. They did shoot innocent people. What’s going to be their punishment? If I were to go out on the street and I had a gun and I shot someone, I know I would have to serve time, I know I would have a punishment,” Bravo explained.
In a news conference, Matt Clark the commander of the Denver Police Department’s Major Crimes Division said the officers attested they had feared for their lives or the lives of their fellow officers, so they fired their weapons.
The officer on the sidewalk, who was several feet away to the right of Waddy, said he was aware of the crowd outside the Beer Hall and “explained he worked to obtain a clear sight picture of Mr. Waddy before firing one round. The officer stopped firing their weapons when they believe Mr. Waddy was no longer a threat,” Clark said in a critical incident briefing.
The video show the cops statements are lies.
Investigators have not found any evidence that Waddy ever fired the weapon they say he pulled and the officers who fired their guns did not alert the crowd they were going to shoot, nor did they tell them to clear the area beforehand as they did not have time to do so, the commander said. [MORE]
