Watch the video. They screamed a string of orders at a terrified man. They screamed threats to kill him. Repeatedly. Any reasonable person would expect he'd become too stressed and confused to comply perfectly. So they shot him.

Jury would not convict on manslaughter. Should have, in my opinion.

They had no reasonable reason to be so crazy tactical with this guy. All they had was someone reporting seeing a rifle. No shots had been fired, he didn't have the rifle when he came out of the room, and he hadn't said one threatening word.

All the threatening words came from the cops. Including the ones engraved on the shooter's gun. "You're fucked," it said.
