" Video footage captured by the body camera of an Oklahoma police officer shows an unarmed 19-year-old man being shot to death after making a gun shape with his fingers and pointing them at cops.

Andrew Henson of Wagoner, Okla., died in June after leading police on a high-speed chase. The chase began when an officer approached Henson’s vehicle over an outstanding warrant in Mississippi.

According to police, Henson rammed a cruiser in pursuit of his vehicle before he was stopped by police.

Once he was out of his car, Henson ran and shouted, “You’re going to have to kill me, n****r,” at the white officer who chased him.

That’s when police say Henson made a “threatening gesture” toward the officers, which some believe was an attempt to make his hands look like a gun.

Henson was shot several times before falling to the ground.

After being shot, he tried to get up and, though he was unarmed, the officer fired a final shot into Henson, leading to his death.

“Mr. Henson failed to comply with the commands he was given and he reacted to what he perceived,” Wagoner Police Chief Bob Haley said in response to the video."

Pretty obvious while he was trying to get up there was no gun but cop shot again anyway . . .

I think cops are scared shitless that everybody has a gun. At 19 we're still dumb asses. Don't know what this kid was thinking.

There are thousands of people out there who will look at this as an outright execution considering he was unarmed and that last shot was so debatable . There isn't enough money out there that would make me want to do that job--damned if you do--damned if you don't.

He wasn't 19 but 25.

Dilliner initiated a traffic stop on Henson’s white SUV at Southwest 15th Street and Polk Avenue at 11:43 p.m. June 6. He conducted a records check that revealed Henson had a felony burglary warrant from Mississippi. Family members told the Tulsa World he lived there before moving to Wagoner.
Six minutes into the stop, Dilliner attempted to detain Henson, who fled north on Polk Avenue. The pursuit exceeded speeds of 100 mph, and officers said Henson made a U-turn and drove at Reynolds and Cox, who took “evasive action” to avoid crashing. Henson then drove toward Dilliner’s patrol vehicle, and Dilliner fired three shots through the windshield but did not hit Henson.
Police said Henson tried to force Reynolds’ car off the road, culminating in him swerving in front of the patrol car and clipping the front. Henson’s vehicle then spun out and rolled, coming to rest at Southwest 13th and Polk.
Once the vehicles were stopped, Reynolds commanded Henson to “Stop where you’re at and show me your hands,” which he said Henson disobeyed. Reynolds said Henson exited through the rear of his vehicle and turned toward him, causing him to open fire five seconds later.
Cox’s body camera shows Reynolds firing the final shot at Henson, who was on his knees at the time. Reynolds, who still had his gun pointed at Henson despite him lying still, told Cox, “I don’t know if he’s got a gun. He pointed at me. I got him covered.”
“The subject was unarmed. Looks like a suicide-by-cop deal, to be honest with you, because he pointed to his waistband and was pointing at Robert,” Cox says to another officer.
Reynolds can be seen toward the end of Cox’s video shaking his head multiple times, chugging a Gatorade and asking Cox, “Why didn’t he just stop?”
“Well, who knows? We don’t even know why he’s running,” Cox tells him. “You did exactly what you had to do.”

If you act so stupid by fleeing and trying to run a police car off the road and telling them you have to kill me and make threatening gestures with your hand in the half dark you get what you want.

These US cops are made too fast actions and immediately start shooting
The cop faster shoot the whole clip in that wretched that would be time to raise his hands
Another negative police action from my side

I'm not sure how long it takes you to raise your hands, but I typically can do it faster than getting out of a car, running, turning around, and talking. I, however, simply tend to just not do things that lead me to interactions with police that would cause me to need to raise my hands though.

he was not cooperating with the police but a second warning should have gave this miserable, before shoot the whole clip into his body

Obviously he wanted to die which proves he's a reckless person.
Btw, according to the law trying to ram someone with your vehicle is considered assault with a deadly weapon so I guess he had it coming.

You live in America! Of course the police are afraid that everyone has guns. Its unfortunate but watching police videos from America and then from up here in Canada along with my own experiences our cops are way more laid back and cool. I got pulled over once after having a few beer and it was clear I was over. I wasn't absolutely shittered mind you but still, the cop realized my house was only a few houses down and followed me home and watched me go inside. Done.
