Re: Dallas officer shot a man in self defence
WFAA ch 8 showed some of the dash cam video on this evenings 6 pm newscast. They didn't show the shooting itself, but the footage leading up to it. The BG was backing the officer up by repeated blows to the officer's head. The top of the officer's head was even with the BG's shoulder, so the BG definitely was a lot bigger. Channel 8 also reported that the autopsy showed the BG was under the influence of PCP at the time of his death. The officer was quoted as saying he tried to reach his tazer, but couldn't get to it, so went to his gun instead. All things considered, IMHO, it looks like the officer was justified in his action.
