#1 Bummer of a name, Elio.

#2 Why did they order him to get up? Couldn't they cuff or restrain him on the ground?

Elio certainly needs to pick better friends--riding around with idiots who run from the cops is not the smartest thing to do when you're in the military, much less if you're an MP--but he certainly doesn't deserve to get shot for it.

#3 I saw the video, like everyone else, and We should wait out the FBI to find the truth. Being a soldier I want to side with the troop but remember they had finally stopped after a short chase, running from the cops is bad. When you run from a cop and finally stop the first thing his dumb ass should have done is what the cops says and then stay silent. How was that cop supposed to know he an Airman, the Airman should have known better and acticted differently knowing what the procedures were.

#4 I haven't seen the video yet (can't at work) but have a question. Is it 100% certain that the cop ordered him up? If the voice came from elsewhere it could go a long way towards *explaining* what happened (not excusing by any measure though).

As it is the whole thing is just bizare.
