"Police have said Michael Tyler Jacques, 31, was resisting arrest on suspected drunk driving when a Taser was deployed -- and what that had no effect, one or two officers fired shots that killed him.In a news release, attorney Jennifer Coughlin, who was retained along with Michelle Burrows, said witness reports and a video taken at the scene indicated Jacques had "pulled into a parking lot away from the public, coming to a complete stop" and was still wearing his seat belt when 4-5 gunshots were fired "at point-blank or close range" by one or both officers on scene."
 
completely unrelated - damn does it make me mad just seeing that name...
 
brief video of the shooting - im surprised i havent seen it claimed yet but im sure the police will say that when the car moved he became a lethal threat

drjones - Thx for opening thread.

From a single viewing of witness' vid shown at link, I cannot see much. Vid shown begins virtually as shots were fired.
I wonder if there is more pre-firing in this or other vid.

Article said no LE dash-cam or LEO body-cam vid.
 
he was tased first, well they tried to it says, i wonder if the tasing had anything to do with his losing control of the car or if they think he was trying to drive off

michael jacques (not this guy, obviously but just to be clear)was the murderer of brooke bennett, one of the most disturbing cases i have seen.
