4 Officers Shot Dead By Snipers, 7 Wounded in Dallas Protest Against Police Violence

[Faith No More]

The reports I've read say he was tasered. Some of them say he was tasered twice. He was still resisting arrest after that. The cop pulls a gun out and point it at him whilst he's struggling, and tells him not to move. Presumably, and in one of the other angles you can see Alton move his right arm, Alton did move, perhaps to grab his gun, perhaps to try and grab an officer's gun. That's when he got shot.

We'll know more when the official report comes out, but from what I can see in the videos, the cops did try to de-escalate the situation, but the guy was just too big, and was still struggling.

Edit: If you watch the original video again, whilst you don't see it (the camera is pointed towards the inside of the car), you hear two cracks, which I believe are the taser firing. After the cracks, the video resumes pointing at the altercation, and Alton is still standing upright and resisting. It doesn't look like he has been shot at this point.

You obviously missed the point of my other post where I mentioned that there have been several instances of cops having guns pointed directly at them, but rather than shoot the perp, the police de-escalate the situation. Why is it that a man pointing a gun directly at officers does not get shot, but another man gets shot just for reaching in he vicinity of a gun?
