I said that the officers' alleged post-shooting acts were bizarre and life-threatening. I might not be alone in that belief, as there are claims that the officers illegally threatened a person who attempted to film them from her backyard. That is not the behavior of men with a clear conscience; it is the behavior of men who have been caught in some act that they do not want seen.
Or, based on my experience after being cut out of a car and then my clothing after a horrible accident, LE wanted to prevent having an injured (and possibly deceased) Jessica posted all over social media before the family had been notified. In my case, media was on the scene trying to get film of them cutting me out of the car and LE prevented that. All that they ended up getting was a shot of my feet as I was loaded into the ambulance and of course this was run quite a few times that evening to the distress of my family/friends. Setting aside any distrust for the motives of LE for the moment, it is *really* (IMO, of course) distasteful and disrespectful to be standing there with your freaking phone filming someone down on the ground who is injured/dead.
Of course, everyone with a smart phone is a 'journalist' these days, which is a genie that can't be put back into the bottle, but in my view the only reason LE might not want bystanders filming the body of someone who is on the ground bleeding is NOT that they have guilty consciences and are trying to suppress the truth.
Good grief.
