Footage of the shooting: https://youtu.be/r0M6OfQLUGI (warning, graphic content).

This is crazy, the guy walked out with the gun but was pointing it down at the ground. You can hear the cops telling him to drop the gun but started shooting at the exact same time, they gave him no time to respond and likely the guy didn't even know they were there.

The officer in this shooting needs to be charged with Murder as I don't see how you could make the argument that the office thought he was in danger. In the video the officer arrives on the scene and literally five seconds later starts shooting, this is not a "DROP THE GUN", suspect lifts weapon and officers fire. This is "DROP THE GUN" while you're already unloading your mag.
