Tough to watch that, no matter what we find out even if it was a gun still the woman's husband. Your move Charlotte PD, time to release if you have been honest shouldn't be an issue...

Saw that.

Unfortuantely you don't get to see what led up to the confrontation, nor the situation directly preceding the shooting.

That was strange... She says he doesn't have a gun multiple times, how could an officer not tell the difference in broad daylight?? If someone is telling me that the person has a brain issue and is unarmed, I'm going to be even more cautious before I think to pull the trigger.

She tells him to get out of the car and not let them break the windows. What is she yelling "DONT DO IT!" about to her husband. What was she telling him not to do? Stay in the car?

She was much more calm than I would be if my wife just got shot right in front of me. I probably would have gotten shot myself.

That's how I felt. We both would have died that day. I would have tried my best to take that officers with me.

Even before the shooting! She was like <sigh> OMG, don't shoot him. He just took his medicine.

There were multiple officers around your husband with their guns drawn!!! How the hell did she sound so chill? I would be screaming in anger and shitting my pants in terror simultaneously.

Conspiratorially speaking, is it possible she was paying lip service and hoping he would get killed so she could score some sweet, sweet settlement money?

_________________

No way. If she wanted money I feel like she would have been over the top in her grief and anguish. She almost had a tone like "Meh. I still have some errands to run today and now this is going to make me late for the dry cleaning."

He needed a new wife. I'm sure she's screamed louder about him leaving the toilet seat up. She was about a mile away recording.

For real. My wife got more fired up and angry with me for not unloading the dishwasher last night and instead playing MLB The Show.... Actually the more I think about it, if that was me and my wife she probably wouldn't have even bothered taping it. She would have said "Shoot his ass, he probably deserves it for something."

If this just came out..... Charlotte is going to have a major problem tonight.

Sounds about right. Now she will be yelling louder about how long it took her check to come.

After watching a guy get killed by the cops I am more concerned with the behavior of the wife than the cop who killed him.

I thought of that before I started to criticize but what the hell. I'm insensitive, no reason to try to change at this point in my life.

Before anyone yells at me: I'm not making light of the death. I'm just surprised by the reaction of the person right there in the heat of the moment.

_________________

I'd say that this constitutes strong evidence that the husband had clearly done something to warrant the shooting and that the cops, as usual, were completely in the right.

I wouldn't say that... The video unfortunately doesn't really answer any of the questions at all.

I love how she calls 911 to report the shooting ,telling the operator that her husband had better not be dead. Um,half a dozen cops just went full Hogans Alley on him.

I thought she was just saying the facts for the purposes of the video. How would she call and record at the same time?

Her demeanor was too calm for the situation. As others said she was too calm. I am guessing wither Xanax abuser or she smoked just before. Serious now, did this happen in a parking garage? Isn't there any? based on the snippets I have heard If the cops get prosecuted I would not call her as a witness for the state, her saying multiple times don't do it can be used by the defense to there end very easy
