The point of this OP is not to say our brave ice law enforcement are bad. I still support them totally even if they messed up here.
I'm not emotionally invested either way.
I just want to know the truth.
The truth is the point of the OP.
This guy was playing stupid games, and got the stupidest prize.
He should have never been interfering with law enforcement. Dumb.
Spent most of the day keeping my opinion to myself because I wanted to see all available footage and angles. I've seen other people post slow motion videos but the quality is relatively poor so it ends up being somewhat inconclusive compared to what really good, HD video could tell us.
I recommend watching the above on the highest quality setting. As you'll see, there is no mistaking the fact that they removed a gun from his rear waistband. So the question is, where did the first shot come from?
They already had the bad guy's pistol.
So WTF?

This can help answer. Start at the 35 second mark.
I've watched this 5 seconds over and over.
Where was the officer's pistol the exact moment you hear the first shot?

Future marker: today is going to be a catalyst.
It’s on another thread here, apparently it’s a design fault of the Sig P320, if there’s a round in the chamber, it can discharge if handled roughly.
It was an accidental discharge, followed by a wrongful follow up by the second officer.
Question is, why was the guy there, armed with additional magazines? Was he not at work, on welfare or was that his job?
A rightfully angry Public, does not make the task easier.
