| [FoxNews] Body cam video shows moments before cop shot man reaching for officer's weapon: 'Tase him;' 'He's got a gun'. Rep Jamaal Bowman called the shooting 'senseless' and an example of 'police brutality' A New York police department released body camera video showing the moments before an officer shot a theft suspect, but experts disagree on whether the footage should have been made public so quickly. News outlets were given clips July 3 from three New Rochelle police officers' body cameras – the same day that one of them seriously injured Jarrell Garris after he allegedly reached for one of their guns. Garris died Monday. "The fact that it was released so promptly goes toward the notion that there's not something being hidden here. There's transparency," civil rights lawyer Mayo Bartlett told Fox News Digital. The move helps police build trust with the community, he added. After receiving a 911 call that reported a man had stolen food from a local grocery store, officers Kari Bird, Gabrielle Chavarry and Detective Steven Conn confronted Garris, 37, on Lincoln Avenue near North Avenue in New Rochelle, about 25 miles north of New York City. The footage shows two female officers talking to Garris. "What were you doing in the store? You were eating the food?" one of the officers asked.
Bartlett, who co-chaired Westchester's Police Reform Commission, said the clips show the officers' actions were in compliance with police protocol, but there may be room for improvement. "By the book, it seems to be fine, but maybe we need to reevaluate how we approach people as well," he said, noting that Garris appeared to begin resisting the moment Conn announced he was under arrest. Garris remains in critical condition at the Westchester Medical Center, authorities said. The video did not persuade Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., that the police shooting was justified. He mistakenly released a statement Friday saying that Garris had died. His office later retracted the statement after learning that Garris was still alive but had experienced brain death, the Daily Voice reported. The New York State Attorney General's Office release a statement saying Garris died Monday.
"Police brutality has been sickening our country and taking the lives of our loved ones for decades," he added. The shooting remains under investigation by the New York State Police and the state attorney general. | ||

| #7 Schizophrenic people tend to make mistakes with meds. The result can be paranoia. Armed and paranoid is unlikely to end well. |

| #2 Good Thinking NYPD, You just saved dozens of lives, and property? However, the Media, Politician's, Reverend's and other LSD radical's are likely pissed having missed out on $$millions in interviews, articles, Ads, donations, votes, and $$$ speaking fees. That would have been generated by a But Wait For It. Any bets NYC Politicians will rewrite the rules for police video releases so they must be reviewed and approved by a video review board, which they appoint, before public release? |

| #1 To some people, a better outcome would be if he had in fact grabbed the officer's gun and killed all three officers. |
