I thought the man stepped on the acceleration as an involuntary response to being shot.

What in the name of fuck. That's literally straight up murder. The fucking dude wasn't doing anything.

Gif of shooting
The slower speed of the gif helps see things better. Cop reaches in with left arm, presumably to try to pull the key out of the ignition, driver jerks back, presumably because he saw the gun or just didn't expect the cop to get in there, and cop shoots.
There does not appear to be any struggle/fight/etc.

It's a bit more obvious in the Fox affiliate stream link from above
I'm not American. I know they're real police thats what makes it so weird. Not one university in my country has an armed police force on campus. Or and unarmed one for that matter. Thats a policeman there for stamping forms and stuff like that but thats it.

The vehicle did not move until after the shot.

Yeah what the fuck was the officer doing there =/
He didn't do a fucking thing and then less than a minute later he's dead. All because of this fucking idiot of a murderer. In fact it seemed like he was scared of the cop
Thank Jeebus for that body cam footage or nothing would have happened and the police would have gotten away with falsifying all the information about this incident, which is even more disgusting.

Failing? Try targeting and murdering. Let's not mince words.

See, I really think the cop is reaching for the victim's hand. He doesn't lean in far enough to get the keys. SO sad.

So wait he shoots the guy before he starts to pull away? Holy shit

Now go after the other officer for lying on the report tying to protect the shield.

So the victim must have been ready to drive off since the car was put in drive? Then moves forward due to him losing control of the car (since he's dead)? Absolutely no reason to draw on him nonetheless.

That's what it looks like. Sam seems to be trying to stop the officer from reaching into his car and the officer just pops him.
The sad thing is - there WILL be people who will say that the guy shouldn't have resisted and not have been shot if he had just got out of the car. As if that's ever justification for murder.

And just like that a life is extinguished. I mean... goes from zero to dead in a few seconds. I am at a loss for words.

Jesus Christ, what a video.
Watched it twice. It looks to me like Dubose isn't even moving away from the cop, he's just resisting not coming out. When the cop puts his hand into the car it looks like the gun is already drawn (probably why Dubose seems to freak out quickly) and by then the cop had shot him. As the prosecutor said before the video, we hear the car taking off because the man's body had slumped forward.
He's never dragged nor does the car seem to ever be in motion until after he was shot.
The defense will likely try to get Manslaughter as the charge and say the gun going off was not intentional and in the struggle, the gun went off. Not sure how well that defense will do, since there was no reason for the gun to be drawn in the situation he was in.
Hoping the call for peaceful protest stays true. I have to leave for the area in about 30 minutes.

I didn't noticed the other cop at the end. At first, I thought it was the dude that walked by in the white shirt.

That was a dead man driving.

It may have already been brought up but this is a University Campus Police Officer. Not a city police officer. Generally campus police stay on campus and aren't allowed to patrol off property. However, there are campuses that allow their officers to patrol city streets (with the blessing of the city) near their campus which I don't agree with. IMHO, campus police should not be allowed off their property.
Video is horrible. It was a straight up execution.

Honestly I don't even know if you could qualify what happened here as resisting.
I'm interested to hear what the cop's defense will be. Obviously it was not self defense, and I doubt he'd argue insanity. If anything, he might argue there was no intent (?!) and get it dropped to manslaughter or some other lesser charge, but that would be a stretch. He pretty much has to accept a plea bargain if offered.

Can this discussion not go that way for once?
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Looks like DuBose was trying to keep the cop from opening the door with his left hand and shifting the car into drive with his right.
No reason at all to shoot someone point blank in the head.

Campuses can have tens of thousands of people on it at any given time. Some do just rely on local police for support and maybe a basic security operation if they are small enough.
But campuses with that many people? They have a duty to ensure some level of security. Having the police right on campus that are trained specifically on the campus helps with that given the complexities of many schools.
I like this Deters guy
This isn't something you ask for a source on because it's a shit practice. You'll only hear anecdotes.

who fucking cares?
Fair enough. I agree
Or he was turning the car off and preparing to push the door open so he could get out and comply. We don't know. Just no reason for the officer to provoke and respond like that. None.
I've seen a lot of bad shooting videos but this one, the kid in the park, and the guy getting shot in the back as he runs away take the cake.

The big takeaway here was that the guy got his brains blown out for no reason. Imagine if cops went to "shoot in head" mode for similarly minor provocations? The video may be shaky but it's not like the guy was reaching for an AK47 or something.

Could be, he could have had foot on brakes the whole time. Doesn't really matter though. Cop did not even threaten him to get out of the car. He is still guilty as hell.
Also yeah, resistance I meant isn't really that bad. He seems like he didn't want the cop to have his keys which is totally valid.
Sorry why does that matter again?
Because they're defending the officer.
Pretty much. I would WANT my kid's school to have its own police force if that's an option. I'd rather have too many cops protecting my kid than too few. What happened here has nothing to do with who employed the murderer.
Correct, large campuses need them. They're necessary. Not sure why this cop decided to pull someone over outside his jurisdiction. No front plate is the most minor ass thing next to a broken tail light. Absolutely senseless.
He could have been putting his car into mach 3 hyperdrive, not really much of a concern, it simply explains why the car moved AFTER HE WAS ALREADY SHOT IN THE HEAD.
