Just before noon on Nov. 23, police responded to a home on East Folley Place near Gilbert and Frye roads after reports of a possible break-in. A resident who wasn’t home at the time called 911 after his surveillance cameras alerted him to motion, showing an unknown car backed into his driveway and a man inside the house.

Officers arrived and heard noises coming from the garage, with the suspect then running through the house and out the back door. Officers surrounded the man and ordered him to drop the gun he was carrying.

"Drop it or I will put holes in you."

"I know you will."

*proceeds to put holes in him*

In the video we see an officer over the wall of the rear of the property fire two shots which appear to stun the suspect, before another officer dumps a mag into him.

Now, the big question. The guy was armed and refused to drop the weapon, but was there an immediate threat in the moment that the officer fired the shots that killed him?

They don't shoot to stun. Once they start they shoot to kill.

Another poor listener.

They shoot to stop the threat.

You can just see he was quite literally beginning to give up. He's lowered his weapon and I suppose being called a "mother fucker" and told "I will put holes in you", he just didn't act quick enough.

The police don't fuck around these days. If you're holding a deadly weapon and don't drop it when lawfully commanded to do so, rarely are the cops ever found guilty if you decide to take your time!

Yes the immediate threat was the weapon in his hand and non compliance

Nothing of importance was lost that day. Just drop the gun.
