CAUGHT ON CAMERA

VIDEO: Dallas Cops Kill Man Seconds After He Tosses Gun

Bodycam footage shows officers struggling with drug suspect Kyle Dail before he was shot to death.

Dallas police on Friday released video of a struggle with a drug suspect who was shot to death three seconds after they say he raised and then tossed away a gun. Members of the Dallas Community Police Oversight Board are raising questions about whether cops needed to use lethal force on Kyle Dail during an arrest inside a gas station. “We have seen nationwide that white men armed with military grade weaponry who had just committed, at the time unimaginable atrocities, are apprehended without a bullet being discharged. One Black man with a handgun cannot be apprehended the same way?” board Chairman Jesuorobo Enobakhare Jr. said in a statement, according to The Dallas Morning News. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia defended his officers, saying, “It’s something that the officer perceived as a threat for an individual... this was not discretionary in my view.”
