I think you forgot the rest of the story

How does a person barricade themselves in a tent?

[haroldedwards]

So that's the narrative they going to put out that's the only body cam they had out there in the woods

[MY-zxlz]

SO WHAT IS THE FRICKEN MORAL OF THIS STORY - DON'T POST IF YOU HAVE NO STORY TO BACK IT!!!

[metu]

This isn’t proof of anything than an officer getting shot due to friendly fire. How come their body cams aren’t here. How come they were so far ahead, and why was no one the radio before the shooting?

The camp medic, Tortuguita, was executed while sitting in a meditation position with hands up while in a tent. You left out the parts where officers say, "They shot their own guy."

[DonnyNoMarie]

So they released video with no real value? Thanks!

[AnythingJW]

these cops heard gun shots then just froze not even taking cover.... and their first reaction was target practice?!

[burdrchitect]

Oh NBC, next.. what is happening in Congress? .... I know you guys are pushing an agenda.. but time to move if you want more viewers. We are waking up to the bs.

[WessyD]

Guess we're all just supose to asume they shot the suspect a few minutes later..?

[koda]

So a partial story??? 🙁 Disappointing to not have any answers; only questions.

[FadedClipzz]

Full story is the ones with the body cam are city cops and on the opposite side of them are state cops, some guy pulled a gun on state troopers, troopers shot the guy 13 times and then just left, whole thing is weird

[BicycleFunk]

Way to leave out the audio where the cops admit to shooting their own.

[mobigsly]

I'm guessing they have much better footage than that

[petergriffin]

Looks like these cops could benefit from training... Just standing there as shots blaze away.

[basedgodstrugglin]

They’re blasting and they’re just standing in the open. That’s wild dawg

[gabehcuodsuoitneterp]

Pure theater. They don’t even react to the shots. Another media/police drill turned live. They set up a makeshift tent with gasoline as part of an ‘exercise’ then video it.

[drewgles_official]

It was friendly fire, where's the other footage???

[Tony__Tone]

Not one of them decided to get low and crouch behind cover

[Michael-fltm]

Was this an example of what not to do when shots are being fired?
