This is what I see when I watch this
low quality footage. Other people might see different things. Feel
free to comment.
1:09: Suspect vehicle (white Dodge
pickup with crew cab and camper) stops in the middle of the road.
Police have guns drawn
8:10: Suspect vehicle takes off again
and flees at high speed. This is a felony.
9:15: Suspect vehicle encounters the
police vehicles blocking the road. The suspect vehicle veers to the
left. An officer lunges toward the suspect vehicle which is still
moving. I don′t know why he would do this. It is dangerous and you
can′t stop a truck with your body.
9:20 The driver of the Dodge pickup
gets out. He has his hands up as if he wants to surrender. He is
staggering though the deep snow. Then he puts his arms down. It looks
like he′s flailing as if he lost his balance. Or maybe he is
reaching for his gun. But his arms are clearly down, so the police
shoot and kill the driver.
Normally, if you are armed and you need to surrender to someone else who is armed, you keep your hands up to show that you cannot fire at them. You keep your arms up until they tell you to put them down. The police knew he was armed. If they believed he was reaching for a weapon, then they were justified in shooting him. This doesn′t look like a murder from the video.
