Shooting Videos Released

As always, CWB has the links up:

• The Civilian Office of Police Accountability on Wednesday released videos and other materials related to the fatal shooting of a man by an on-duty Chicago police officer in Austin on September 6.

  According to COPA, officers were responding to a burglary in progress involving suspects who were inside a vehicle. When officers encountered the vehicle in the 800 block of North Waller Avenue, it struck their squad cars, the agency said. One officer then fired his weapon, killing one of the individuals inside. Another suspect was arrested at the scene, and a third fled and has not been apprehended. COPA said a gun was recovered.

Hop over to the link up top and used CWB's links to the COPA site so they get the traffic numbers.

And remember - situational awareness and tactical positioning is important - a car is a couple thousand pounds of weapon that you don't want to be in the way of.
