(7,412 posts)Until all the evidence is released we really won't know. It is really hard to believe that the cops handcuffed him and then executed him in front of his girlfriend, an ambulance crew, and several other witnesses.
I would bet they handcuffed him after he was shot which is a standard practice for a downed suspect. The typical order is suspect goes down, cuff suspect, search suspect, then render medical assistance.
Either way he was still unarmed as far as we know, the cops claim he gained possession of one of their firearms in their struggle to initially arrest him. I'm glad the federal investigators are arriving there to oversee the investigation.
