It looks so easy, doesn't it? How could that baaaaad policeman have possibly shot that 'unarmed' man?
After weeks of taking flak, the Maricopa (AZ) Sheriff's Department invites The Reverend Jarrett Maupin to man up and go through three 'Shoot/No Shoot' scenarios. Additionally, a local TV journalist accepts the same invitation.
It's an enlightening five minutes of video…
Each of them die once, kill an unarmed suspect once, and subdue a suspect with great difficulty once, only to find a large knife on that person.
It all happens so quickly. No Hollywood slo-mo here. Lives on the line, decisions to be made. No one to yell 'CUT!' and re-film the scene, to film it from ten different angles and cut it together in editing.
None of that.
Notice how one scenario resembles events in Ferguson.
