Just saw the footage this morning. I heard talking heads opining that the deceased was "doing everything asked of him" but was shot anyway. From what is visible in the helicopter footage, he appeared to be walking back toward his vehicle, and moved his right hand down to his waistline (two things you don't want to do while officers have their weapons trained on you) just before the officer (who sounds a helluva lot like Sarah Palin) appears to have fired.

Is there another video, or a report that gives any explanation as to why shots were fired? I can only imagine she thought he was going for a weapon, in direct opposition to their instruction.
